- Many other new features were planned but we had to move them further to get Paprika out
Information
- New structure
- 1.11hb and 1.2 patches added
- New pages: Moposite History (all the old Moposite versions are there to browse, quite nostalgic isn't it), Future, Visitors and Tech specs
- Elma and Across information pages have lot of new (interesting) stuff
- PayPal added to Help us page (hint, hint)
Knowledge
- New section (might get merged to Information soon though)
- FAQ is updated of course

- Tweaking page is finally explaining (all?) the vsync and other mystery things
- Cheating page is totally renewed
- Hints and tips is a new page offering practically nothing
- Glossary I'm a bit proud of eventhough it could have better contents
- Playing and Internal levels pages didn't get ready to publishing
Main / News
- Main page is a new page displaying some basic information for first-time visitors (the picture is random, try to reload the page), if you are logged in (or cookie is set) and you type paprika.moposite.com to browser you'll arrive to News page instead
- News page has a new layout
- Comments (some basic BBcodes are supported, be careful)
- KOM poll there (maybe it could achieve reputation back)
- Random tips
- Priorities (High, Medium, Low)
- Categories
- Filters (Base and Temporary), I will write a guide to use them
- RSS
- Newslist (link is in left column named Headlines)
Panel
- New section
- Log in by using your Kuski gallery account
- Change password
- Save / delete cookie (Remember me)
- External / internal / mopolauta links (guide coming)
- How to open pictures from thumbnails to real size (I prefer pop-ups but can't set them default because many people are blocking pop-ups and justly)
- Change themes (obviously not many themes available at the moment)
- Change News Base filters
Administration
We have nice systems for KOM, Banning, Adding news, Moderating comments and changing privilities. I find admin sections pretty important that moderators won't get annoyed of using them and stop doing their vital jobs.
Hopefully I didn't forget anything important.

Warn us about BBcode, and make a mistake with it yourself. That's something! =)
