I like the changes. I think the smilies make a little character and are a good idea to help convey emotion. Alot of times people say something in a kidding manner, and other people get offended because they don't know that the first person is kidding. The smilies help clear the air.
I also like the who's browsing the boards idea, although usually when I'm on, I'm the only one

I think for a BBS of this size you guys are doing a good job!

P.S. You may want to change the "Forum 7 Name" to something like "Changes". It might help direct people here.
