These forums are super new and custom written for this site. HTML tags aren't allowed, except for bold, italics and blockquote. UBB codes are not yet supported.

Email addresses are stripped out as are URLs, currently. The URLs are stripped by default to thwart spammers, but we've got to open up linking somehow to give you folks more posting freedom.

One option for linking is to auto-link URLs, like http://www.4degreez.com/disorder/ but right now that only works for me as an admin. Please be patient as these forums get the kinks worked out! Give your input about how they should work.

Maybe a "number of posts" entry just below "joined/status" to see how active a member has been?

Out of interest what forum code/app are you using? I'm in IT myself so happy to offer any help when/where I can.

I like the number of posts idea.

The forum code is written from scratch, so that's why it may be lacking in some features. However all the third-party packages are so loaded with bloat (in my opinion), I just prefer simplicity.

Nope. No-one at all.
