• improved search results, including posts from current and new forums
• the ability to designate especially helpful forum members as "Top Contributors"
• a reputation and ranking system
• the ability for users, Top Contributors and Googlers to mark questions as answered
• easier access to Help Center content
• expanded user profiles that highlight your forum activity

Forums that have already switched to this new system includes : “AdWords, AdSense, Android Market, Google Apps, Google Chrome, and Most of the Polish products”.
