The 3rd big update I was planning for this year on P4W is done, it is "CustomizationOptions" for members. If you edit your own page, you should see this field.
Advanced (Program) Search and Forum Reactions proved to be popular, I assume this one won't be used that much, which is fine. In case you ever wondered "I wish my own Member page wasn't done like that", now you (members) have the option to do something about it. For some examples of what can be done, take a look at my page. In short, you can add new sections, rearrange sections, customize sections, etc.
In addition, member pages can be linked to ... in a way so that only certain sections are shown. The idea is, maybe Crown would want to give someone a list of his owned releases, in that case the link would be /members/Crown/OwnedReleases. Multiple section can be included, e.g. /members/Chronos/HOF,Publications. In case the "Details" section is not included (like these two examples), a link to the entire page itself is added at the top.
If someone wants to avoid all these customizations, e.g. look at my page with all my releases in a single table, you can do so like this: /members/Csabo/default.
I realize these are a bit superfluous, but oh well, the possibilities are there if case you want them, they won't get in anyone's way if you don't.
The only problem is, editing this field is a bit complicated, if someone wants to use it, PM me. If there's a need, eventually it'll be documented.
Okay, with that out of the way; there's still a few things worth mentioning:
* In general, the Members pages do less database querying (=hopefully higher site stability)
* The backbone of all this is a new internal "grid" function, which now has all the features of the various grids that were on the site. This includes custom formatting depending on the current style, better column resizing for mobile devices (see an example here), and an option to limit the number of rows (like the HOF page does it).
If you see pages on the site that look particularly bad on mobile (or if you have any issues with the site really), let me know.
