CloseI mentioned this in the Bug topic, but is there a way there can be somewhere on the site where the new features are explained, so we know the full capabilities and what to do with them? Stuff like bbcode, the 'Pages' feature, and how the games get updated and all of that stuff, is it possible to draft up something explaining how all of this works, especially for new users, given that this is a radical new system that really none of us have ever seen before.

Good point. Until WIP comes up with some more details, I'll just try to skim over the coolest and biggest new features and changes.
There was a large emphasis on game pages in this update. Comments on game pages act like forum topics, as you've probably noticed. BBCode is supported. For help on how to use BBCode, I'm sure you can Google a tutorial, as it's a popular forum format.
New additions to game pages are the Locker and Pages section (unless pages was there before, I hadn't noticed). Locker basically is what it says; personal storage space for whatever you'd like. If I'm not mistaken, locker space will increase with your maker score.
The Pages section allows you to create new, customized tabs that show on your game page. Default pages are Blog, Images, and Downloads, but with the Pages editor, you can create your own per game you have (for example, an extra page for characters, plot/story info, creative writing, music, whatever).
Another big change is the Games list. You can now sort it with a lot of great filters! Games are, by default, sorted by latest update; be it a blog post, new image, new download, new comment, anything.
Also, I don't use RSS feeds, but now all front-page updates are broadcast. That covers the majority I think.
