Since I'm supposed to be testing and am running out of things to talk to myself about

I thought I would post some tips on the UBB forums for those who aren't used to them. I'm also testing if this list below works:

They have flood control activated meaning that you can't rapid post and overwhelm the server. This I think was the cause of our last two crashes.
The syntax to call up images is slightly different. It uses UBB code instead of Ultraboard code. Click on the "UBB Code is ON" to the left of the message box when you create a new post or reply to a post.
Like the old board you can call animated gifs into your sig. But it may be a good idea to crop/resize any large ones, just so that they don't take forever to load.
You can jump between forums using the selection box on the bottom right hand side of the screen.
The search function works like a dream.
The front page is a lot longer so a lot more posts can be displayed.[/list]
If I think of any more I'll add to this list.
