Thanks for this. I've set it up.
Create A Forum Installed
This section allows you to view all posts made by this member. Note that you can only see posts made in areas you currently have access to.
An alternative option would be to create a membergroup called "Muted" and change their permissions to remove the option of private messaging.What a brilliant idea. Would you also recommend this for trolls?
Sorry I don't think I understood that. If you're changing your username, the forum will email you a new password that you must use. The forum will not accept the old password after changing your username.
It's ad-free for 45 days which means no advertisements on forums for 45 days. Your forum will forever as long as you or someone else continually post in it so that it's not considered inactive.
However if you still want to change the username, an administrator must change it for the user and then the forum will make a random password and email new details to the user's email address.Does that mean, as I was the one to set up the Test forum and therefore the forum has MY password, I needn't have changed my password?
Sending the IP address is normal, it's actually done in case someone is trying to steal someone's elses account.But was it the forums IP address which was sent?
This service uses SMF 2.0 software and hosts your forum for you (and for free). No you do not have to download the SMF 2.0 software or even download anything at all.This is better than I thought. In other words, I am already using the SMF 2.0 software so it's just a question of teaching myself how to use it.
And go ahead and ask all your questions, we'll gobble them up and spit out the answerssupport
