If you have someone that you want to talk to or send messages to regularly, it's a great tool. It's also a great tool for moderators - that way we no longer have to publicly embarrass other people who may have accidentally done the wrong thing (release a spoiler for example). ;)

Trolls and flamers will STILL be publicly flogged, of course. :D

my sig is from ironworks old forumm and the anim still works

Only downside is that if people don't clean out their message inbox regularly, the server will get filled very quickly and the board might get slower as a result...

Okay, I can see the advantages, still...I think I liked the old forum better [img]smile.gif[/img]
But...what the hell, I'll live :D

Oh no!
Not a slower forum.
I liked the last because even I with my 28.8 modem could use it without much problem.

Let's just hope it stays that way! :rolleyes:

UPGRADE BAYBEY!

While you're upgrading the forum, would it be possible to make the search button a bit bigger? i dont know if its possible for the mod to change it, but a bigger button just might stop newbies posting "how do i kill kangaxx" and "where is xxx" of course, it probably wont but its probably worth a try.

The Stars/Ranks mod is being installed right now. So you should get your avatars back very soon. You may experience some slowness because of this.

Bumping because people are posting questions about the upgrade without reading this first. ;)

Memnoch,
Just a quick question about moderation of the Private Message feature (or not as the case may be).

If someone uses the PM feature to flame another member, or other inappropriate or unwarranted use, will we be able to bring it to the attention of one of the moderators? I would not like to think that someone could use the feature to be nasty without any fear of 'official' reprimand.

If so, whom should we approach in the first instance? Any of the mods? Ziroc? Not that it has happened to me, but with the occasional trolls we have had here it is something of a worry!
