And another round of updates has been applied  :partying_face:

In this update you will find

- New quick topic feature
- New mark notifications as seen when you navigate to a topic that has new notifications (mentions, likes, quote, etc.).  This is similar in behavior to marking as read when you view a topic.  The idea is so you don't have to go to your notification tab and manually mark things as read/seen.
- Close a large number of old (very old) bug (really annoyance / inconsistency) issues that have been around for a long time
- New header layout for topic listing and topic view.  Its really all the same information but its no longer crammed into a single line.  You can see what I mean by going to the top of this page and look at the area just below the page links.
- Lots of other little bugs fixed here and there
- Added an Other Options button to Quick Reply and Quick Topic.  This will simply move you to the full post page which is where you can add attachments and several other things.  Often folks would be in the Quick Reply and not be able to figure out how to add attachments.  This new button just gives them a clue !

Big update of the site to the latest development code.  I know its been a long time but that's the way things roll sometimes:roller_coaster:

I'm not going to document all of the changes as there were to many to keep track of and they happened now and then when I had some time. 

- Lots and lots of bug fixes:bug:
- Added Manticore search as an option.
- Improved Addon options such that you can now install an addon in the Addons directory (forum root) and have ElkArte discover/run them.  For example I have SimplePortal under Addons and it runs great and keeps all those source files out the the ElkArte directories.  Just view (js/css/templates/language) still need to go in the ElkArte space.  
- I think the min is now 8.1 on the code.
- Many theme tweaks, mostly around tablet/phone sizes
- Lots and lots of code cleanup

Be on the lookout for bugs and fatal errors and report them.  The fatal errors generally occur due to new function type returns used in 8.0, easy to fix but not always easy to stumble across
