Mitlerweile hat auch das Web 2.0 auch bei Chemiestudent.de Einzug gefunden.

Hier sind ein paar neue Features:

-> Posting topics/posts
- Username validation (guests only)
- Quicksearch feature (when leaving the title field the system searches
for posts with the keywords in your title; New topic only)
- Instant preview: Clicking on the preview button will show the preview
message instantly.
- QuickPoll options: Add/remove instantly poll options regarding the max.
allowed number of poll options.
-> Posting PMs
- Username search/validation: when typing a username and pausing for a
little bit, the username is checked. If a user with that name was found
the system does nothing. If there is no user with such name, the system
searches all users whos names start with the name you entered, and
displays the results in a list. If no user was found, an error message
will be shown.
- Subject validation: if you don't enter a subject for the message, you
will see a reminder message.
- Instant preview: Clicking on the preview button will show the preview
message instantly.
-> Forum index

icon of the forum. You must be logged in to use this feature. If you
are not logged in, the page will reload with the topic marked as read.

topic title to edit it. To save the new title, hit the return key or

These features also work when displaying search results by posts, but
note that you can only edit the post title, and not the topic title.
You can edit all posts you're authorized for; normal users may edit
their own posts, moderators all posts.

- View poll results instantly: if you have not yet voted in a poll you
can view the results of the poll without refreshing the page. Just
click the "View results" link, AJAX will do the rest for you.
This supports the MultiVote MOD, too.
- View poll ballot from results: if you're viewing the results of a poll,
and you have not yet voted in that poll, you see a link to jump back to
the ballot. This works in AJAX and "classic" modes.
- Vote in polls instantly: if you have not yet voted in a poll you can
vote directly without having to refresh the page. Just click the "Vote"
button like you usually would.
- Watch/Unwatch topics: If you click the watch topic link, the site will
not refresh, but the link will change and you'll be watching the topic.
- Lock topic instantly (moderators only): If you click the "lock topic"
link at the bottom of a topic, the topic will be locked without
refreshing the page.
- Delete topic or post after a short question instantly with intelligent
redirect to last post position or forum after deleting a topic.
- Sticky/Unsticky and Annonce/Unannounce a topic instantly (moderator only):
On click to the new moderator icons the topic will become sticky or
annoncement. A click again on the same icon will return the topic to a
normal post.
- Move the topic instantly after choosing a new forum. This option will
reload the page after doing all works to update all forum datas around
the topic. Shadow topics are possible too, but this option is not checked
per default.
-> Search
- Search instantly after entering keywords on search form. The search will
display the first max. 10 results based on the entered keywords.
Just enter your keywords and leave the input field to get the result.
We will not search instantly after typing some characters to avoid
heavy server loads.
-> Username search:
- Instant search: works the same way as when posting a PM. Just type and
pause for an instant, you'll see the results. When you choose a
username from the dropdown box, it will automatically be sent back to
the calling page.
