Today, you can see the first part of Caves of Narshe version 5: the forums.  And contrary to previous announcements, you can now post as well.

Here are some of the changes we'd like to highlight:

- Forum rearrangement: Submit Fanfics and Fanart is now only for submitting artwork or fiction for the website.  General works can be posted in Your Creations.  Also, note that the news forum is now sorted by topic start date.

- New profile options: Edit your profile, and you can now insert an MSN Messenger name, and a couple of other things.  More options to talk about yourselves may be available soon, so keep checking back.  And don't forget to put your birthday in there, so that it appears on the calendar.

- Polls: You can now make polls for topics.  Enough said.

- New avatars: Thanks to Neal, we now have some Final Fantasy Tactics avatars you can use.  You'll also notice many of the staff look new and shiny.

- New ranks: It'll take a lot of posts to reach the top one.  Make sure they're not SPAM, now.

- New smilies: We've added to and changed the smiley codes.  Check the legend on the left when you post.

- Instant updates: No need to post, or wait for someone else to post, before you see your profile changes.  If you change your signature, avatar etc., old posts update right away.

We hope you enjoy the new forums.  Please use the troubleshooting forum to report bugs, and remember, this isn't quite it yet... expect a few more surprises for the CoN 5th anniversary celebration.

This is nice! there are 6 more ranks, "instant" smily faces.
I didn't expect CoN5 to be this good! (no really!) Keep it up  :)

Well hey, you changed it again!  I like the pic of Terra up above.

I close my mouth now and I scream,
Open the door, there's nothing worth redeeming
I saw your face before in rough,
You should wait around a while, your body's bound to turn up.
So low for how high?

And now you can change the forums too - in your profile, you can select from various skins. Three are up now and more are on the way.
