Some new features of 17b that you may have missed since some days:
. New search bar visible at the top of each page (not visible for users using < IE8). More intuitive to use than older one.
. Draggable lateral menu, allowing to reorder games menus,
. Notification feature, when a member adds a new comment in a map present in user's list,
. New smileys icons available for shoutbox,
. Now, smiley codes are automaticaly converted in maps comments,
. Global "17's Buddies award" section has been suppressed but replaced in each game (bottom of game section).
Enjoy.
