Since Fearless Leader hasn't posted a node about this (especially considering the 10 minutes of incessant badgering he endured from persons unnamed), I'll pass this handy little tidbit along.

In the search box at the top of the page, you can now type a node number, and be transported straight to that node. Very useful when someone types a node number in without the id:// wrapped around it, or casually tosses out a node_id.

As a side effect, you can create a link to a node the same way, ie [979|Not My Home Page] instead of [id://979|Not My Home Page] (thanks to tilly for figuring out you could do that).
