This long-awaited update fixes and improves a lot of stuff for users and for admins/moderators. Most of the updates are under-the-hood, so you won't see a lot of whiz-bang stuff on the frontend. But here's a quick summary of updates that the general membership would likely be interested in:

?ÿ

iOS Fixes and Improvements

This is probably the most significant overall improvement to the frontend of the Community Forums contained within this update. Most of the scripts pertaining to the actionable functions (buttons) within the forum were completely re-written from scratch. If you use an iPad, iPhone, or other iOS device, you should notice that some previously-broken stuff is now working. 🙂

Of course, if you still notice any issues, please start by clearing all your caches (twice), then re-test before reporting problems. Instructions on how to do that in various devices can be found here: http://www.refreshyourcache.com

Last Post: 48 Years Ago

You may have seen this in the forum at some point. This bug occurred when a new user, who must have their first-ever post approved by a moderator, replied to an existing topic and was awaiting approval. This should no longer be a problem.

?ÿ

Statistics When Viewing As Guest

When guests that aren't logged in would visit the Forums, they would often see incorrect forum statistics (at the bottom). This has been corrected.

?ÿ

Self Liking

Yes, you used to be able to like your own posts. Not anymore.

?ÿ

Embed Bugs

We fixed some obscure issues when embedding certain videos or website URLs.

?ÿ

... and a bunch of other stuff

I won't bore you with all the details. But just know that we fixed and/or improved a bunch of stuff under the hood, many of which you may never see or use. But it just makes the overall experience work better and helps me with maintenance and management.

FYI

You don't have to clear your entire cache; in Setting, Safari, Advanced, Website Data you can search for, and delete?ÿinformation, from specific individual sites. ?ÿ

The iOS on the website is old.

Like James said just delete rplstoday website data which worked for me.
