New features...what's where?
I've got a couple of questions now that we're snuggled in with the new SE.
1) When will the "preview" window be restored? I depend on it heavily, especially when posting links.
2) Do we need to "opt in" to e-mail alerts? On the first day of the revamp, I was receiving alerts, now none.
3) Will there be an "edit" function?
4) Will we be able to PM one another if we "opt in" for it?
5) Will we be able to add emoticons or post pictures?
6) Please add any additional questions...

@chiffonade -- previews seem to be working fine, at least for me.

Chiff- Go to your account settings to turn the email alert function on.
I agree with Chiff's request for an EDIT option. Occasionally, you post a response and misspell, etc. It would be nice to be able to go back and edit these.

@chiffonade: Where are you not seeing the live comment preview? It's not working on Slice right now and we have a bug filed on that.
RE comment notification: We disabled that feature temporarily while we resolved all the login and account bugs. We will be reenabling shortly!
Edit function: Maybe. We would want to limit the edit window so that it's used to fix typos, etc. and not abused to change the nature of a conversation while in progress. Limiting the edit window is challenging, but not impossible.
Uploading pictures to Talk topics, PM and other social networking features: We are planning for these end of Q1 or Q2.
Emoticons: We are not fans of the animated emoticons, so this is not likely to be added to our new feature list. Feel free to use any old school style emoticons in your posts. :)

Not seeing the preview function on both responses and original topic creation. And I'm headed to my profile NOW to opt in for e-mail alerts because I entirely missed activity on this topic!! LOL.

1. Previews are now working for me. Yay!
2. Still no alerts even though I opted in and responses have been posted since I made that change. :(

Any word on the triumphant return of e-mail alerts?
