By default it's pretty simple, but some neat features you can use:

       
  • more smileys by clicking "more" under the standard ones.
  • Gui post editor under Profile - Modify Profile - Look and Layout - Show WYSIWYG editor on post page by default.
  • Ability to hide avatars and signatures.
  • When a user is ignored you have the option to never see their posts.
  • Calendar up top will show users birthdays if entered.  For example, my next birthday is in February of 2016.  :)  Should be able to enter events too.
  • Deleted posts/threads wind up in "Haunting of Deck 12" (no new posts in their)
  • Ability to moderate threads you started.  Works good, in general, on Tastyspleen:D
  • News forum where (I think) only admin/mods can post for all to see.
  • Attachments to posts.
Other stuff I can't think of, go exploring.

Zombie

When you see guest under someones name, were they banned or did they close their account?

The Happy Friar

I don't remember banning anyone but spam accounts/ip's, but people can delete themselves and the logs say then they're converted to a guest.  Have a thread you're seeing that says this?


The Happy Friar

Must be.  You can still search for them via username though, they're just not in the listing.

The Happy Friar

New forum under "general" for you to show off you works.  Enjoy!

Added a forum for posting user content: here

You can post your own stuff, any license, or 3rd party stuff (ie garage games, cgtextures etc), pay or free.

I will be making that forum not show up in the recent post section to keep the "spam" down from people just trying to sell content.  I still want to keep the site developer aimed.  It's only for stuff that's not Doom 3 tech game (or any other tech on the forum )specific.  IE if there's a project to recreate the assets in D3 to make it a 100% free game (like freedoom) that doesn't need to be there, that can be in the Doom 3 section.

Youtube now works, but it centers and kind of looks nasty like that. I tried the 'left' BB tag but then the movie doesn't show.

An example: http://idtechforums.fuzzylogicinc.com/index.php?topic=139.msg1029#msg1029

The Happy Friar

Found out how to make it left/center/right justified, I'll see if I can have it user decided (I like center, big monitor).

The Happy Friar

Ok, removed all justification.  Now you should be able to use the WYSIWUG controls to decide.

Forum e-mail reset seems to be working now.

Also, new users require admin approval.  :)  Hopefully cut down on spammers.

Also.....  new e-mail just for forum issues/contact/etc: admin@idtechforums.fuzzylogicinc.com
All password resets & the like will come from that now.
