Newly Designed Forum and More
Forum:
We have a new forum, with more options and advantages than ever before.
(*) People who couldn't get into the old forum because it was located in port 8080 will be able to use the new one.
(*) The new forum is open to all. It isn't required to register or to sign in. Guests, however, can only read the text.
(*) The forum offers RSS feed.
(*) Registered users can edit and/or delete their own posts within one hour.
(*) Recent Posts: If you want to view the posts submitted recently, click on the Recent Post tab. Posts you haven't visited appear in boldface font.
(*) Watchlist: It is possible to follow a thread, a subcategory or a whole category. These options are available through the Actions buttons. Click on My Watchlist tab to get the list of all the threads and categories you watch.
(*) Email notifications: The emails contain the complete text of the post. The link at the bottom of the email will take you directly to the post. You'll need to sign in if you want to reply.
(*) Attachments: You can attach 5 files to a message.
The maximum size of each attachment is 300KB.
The enabled formats are: .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, .txt, .doc, .xls.
Note: If you want to preview your message before posting - attach the files after the preview. Otherwise, the attachments are gone and you'll need to attach them again.
(*) Search is done on all of the text. You can search a word (i.e.: multi) or part of a word (i.e.: multi* or mul?i). The minimum search level is 3 characters.
(*) The Search result is given by relevance. If you place the mouse over the Message column - the beginning of the thread will pop up.
(*) The new forum is multilingual. Although still in the process of translation, in the future it will be available in all languages. Please note that only the forum interface will be translated. The posts remain in the original language submitted.
