Okay, so pMachine just released Expression Engine 1.5 out to the masses. So now, I’m playing around with it. Meanwhile, things might get kooky around here, and I might be delayed on posting a few things (like the TT). Just be patient with me.

Here are some new features that I didn’t mention over at my other site:

- A bulletin board system, that as far as I can tell is similar to the post bulletin feature from myspace, however, it seems at default, normal members cannot post bulletins. But I haven’t explored this one fully yet.

- A member import utility. This is a definite “about time” feature.

- Multiple Category groups per weblog. I have to say that this is one feature that is definitely useful. I don’t know how many times I’ve used some of the same categories for multiple weblogs, but didn’t need others, and just ended up making a new category group. Definite bonus here.

Again, there are plenty of new changes in EE 1.5. To take a look at them all, go to the Change Log

NOTE: If you’re using any extensions that rewrite the Template page (Read: Template Management with images), then you have to disable it in order to see the Template Preferences Manager.
