BiggerPockets Forum Upgrade - Version 3.1

[Joshua Dorkin]

We've made some important fixes/upgrades to the BiggerPockets forums since our huge redesign of a week ago. Here's a summary:

- We fixed a nasty bug in our categories accordion on the right side of the page. Scrolling should now be smooth as silk and because we shrunk the amount of code it took to create this by 2/3, all forum pages should load more quickly as well.

- We've increased the font sizes around the forums. Some parts of the forums had become unreadable to many of you, including text boxes; the text should be back to normal size now.

- By popular demand, we added a new way to browse the forums -- the old way! That's right, because you asked, you can now view all categories with full descriptions using the new "View All" link found next to the JUMP TO CATEGORY text above the blue categories accordion.

- Pagination replaces the "Get Older" button on the forum index and dashboard forum feeds. In our next update, we're going to make sure your mouse is redirected to the top of the feed after clicking the different page buttons, but until then, we've made it easier to skip to later dates in the feed with our pagination. NOTE: you can go back approximately one week in time on this feed. If you want to go back further in time, you'll need to use the different category pages.

We hope this update soothes the nerves of those users who were frazzled by the 3.0 forums, and we want you to remember that we're always listening!
