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 (http://tastyspleen.net/quake/forums/index.php). :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.
When you see guest under someones name, were they banned or did they close their account?
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?

This one has a guest in it. In a good way ;)
Must be. You can still search for them via username though, they're just not in the listing.
New forum under "general" for you to show off you works. Enjoy!
Added a forum for posting user content: here (http://idtechforums.fuzzylogicinc.com/index.php?board=49.0)
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
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).
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.
