How to customise the forum to the way YOU, like it.
Alright, with the new forum .. comes a new layout.
I'm just putting in some information which will help you customise the forum to the way you like it.

If you want a pop-up when you recieve new privite messages just follow this guide (can be quite helpful if you need to reply fast):

Step 1: Click on "User CP" (control panel) up at the top right of the screen.
Step 2: Click on "Edit Options" to the left of the screen.
Step 3: Scroll down the page a bit and you will see a sub-header which says "Messaging & Notification" scroll down a bit further and there will be some options about messaging. Tick the one that says "Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up". Only tick this if you want new messages to pop-up on the screen when you recieve them.

There are some other options which you might want to tick so the forum is more like the old one. In the User CP a bit further down the page you will see another sub-header which says
"Thread Display Options".
This is just how you would like the threads to be layed out.Here is an explanation of what all the thread display options do:

Linear Mode (Oldest First) - In this mode, posts are displayed chronologically from oldest to newest. Posts are shown in a flat mode so that many posts can be viewed simultaneously.

Linear Mode (Newest First) - This is the same as the above mode, except that posts are ordered in an opposite way (newest first).
Threaded Mode - In this mode, a tree is shown along with every post. This tree allows you to see the relationship each post has to others, in terms of who responded to whom. Only one post is shown at a time.

Hybrid Mode - This mode is a mixture of the linear and threaded modes. The post tree is displayed like in the threaded mode, but multiple posts are displayed simultaneously like in the linear modes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are some other ones there where you can change the number of posts per page etc, etc. Like the "Default Age Cut Off" this is set to "Show All Threads", so all the threads will be on one page .. this can be quite annoying if you are on a slow internet connection and sick of pages loading slowly but can be quite easily changed .. just muck around with the new options. Remember, you can always change them back, keep fiddling with the settings until you have the forum the way you want it.


Also in "Miscellaneous Options", another sub-topic says "Message Editor Interface" (this is how advanced you want your posting options to be) this is set to "Basic Editor - A Basic Text Box" So .. if you want extra options like on the old forums, just change it to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing" (You can do this by clicking on the down arrow). This will be quite useful if you want to make some more "in-depth" posts with pictures, smilies and other coding and formatting options.

<@veb> HEY WHO CHANGED YOUR TITLE
<@veb> IT SAYS SENIOR MEMBER
Don't change my title you asshole
To change a topic name, try changing the first post's subject...
Squad Squad Squad lead?
The standardization of Toribash Squad roles may have gone too far!
Oh wow. You can say why you edited now. Cool.

<suomynona> It might kill you, but, that's the worst it'll do
