Yup, it's new!
That's really a side thing for the new feature I wanted. If you log out of the forum and come back in as a guest you'll see the real change I made. Previously, you only got the 'intro' to the forum if you started or came here from the main forum page. Some people come here from links and may even hit register without seeing that 'about our forum' message. Sooooo, now, no matter what page you are on, you get that message.
