I've added a few new features to Sidewalk (the app that powers Fandev.org):
Search
We now have search for the discussion forum. Eventually this will be a site-wide search (including bugs, docs, blogs, etc). The new search box is located at the top of the page.
Recent topics can now be subscribed to via email. Your email preferences can be configured in your user settings (accessed by clicking your username at the top of the page next to the search box). There are three options for email subscription:
None: Don't send me any email (the default).
Immediate: An email is sent for each topic posted.
Digest: A single daily email with all the current day's posts.
However, you must currently still login to Fandev.org to reply to posts.
Fandoc Errors
If your post has errors in your fandoc, a warning will show up notifying you what errors exist, and allow you to fix them. The warning is only displayed for the author of the comment.
Dates
I've modified the dates slightly to make them more usable regardless of timezone. You can hover over the dates to see the full timestamp.

There was a typo in the XHTML namespace for our Atom feed, which caused some clients to not display the content correctly (like Firefox). This has been fixed and should be working correctly now.
