Version 6.0

It may not look like it, but this is a complete rewrite of SE, from the ground up; the first since 4.0, when the site looked something like this:

We're now running on Symfony 1.1, with Propel 1.3. The latest and greatest. It means I should be motivated to add a few new features — the code base is looking awesome.

There's still some bugs to work out. You might come across one or two. I'll try to patch them up in the next few days.

You might notice there's no more skin voting. I do intend to bring that back, but I chose to just concentrate on updating one skin, so I'll need to come up with some others first. That's no big loss, I don't think. Should be fun.

Things I like:

TinyMCE replaces FCKEditor to edit and submit news items. Which means paragraphing works properly, and no more <br /><br />
News items less than a month old used to disappear into the void once they hit the bottom of the index page. Now they sit there, in summary form, until the month passes (when they head over to the archives).
Attaching images to your news posts is now super-simple. No more worries about {image1} or {image2} or HTML.
Lists in news items, like this one, aren't ugly — they previously had different line spacing to the rest of the text. Ugh.
Search is better!
Error messages will take you back to the form you were using, and you won't lose all your typing.
OpenID support is less buggy, uses SReg 1.1, and resolves username conflicts.
