Just finished updating alot of the forum code, basically a clean-up job. I removed all of the code which allowed players to login through the forum, instead players should use the "Login" link on the left menu (if they are using their web-browser), otherwise players will automatically be logged in when using the lobby.
I also redid some of the graphics, and many other misc changes.
You'll notice "Private Messages" have been enabled again for the forum

the new colors are going to be hard to get used to, but whatever.
barth, sticky posts as i understand it are only in PHP 2.0 (we are running 1.0). and also i hear that it would be very difficult to upgrade the DS forums to 2.0

I plan to continue modifications of this forum code.. so if you have any features you'd like to see, tell me...
- Sticky Topics is one I do plan to implement
- Player ranks beside their names

Whoa, Faust...you're on a roll today...
Actually, more than ranks, I would like to see clan tags on the names, just for the sake of figuring out who's who.

I agree, it would be nice to have clan tags show up somewhere in the forum when you post, would make life a little easier.
I'd like to see more smily's one day, but thats just me. Most of the big forums have smily code, where would be a grinning smily and :gun: or :ak47: etc would be different graphics.
DD's forums have a ton of those things that Rat programed in, you can see them and how they work over there at
www.steelrat.com/ddforums
just an idea

Faustus, Could you please add in the Archiving utility? I get sick of having to clean up forums that the moderators for them are neglecting. Just finished moving over 200 posts MANUALLY in the past two days! Please at least let me know when this is going to be added into the Forum code!
Thanks...Appreciate the work!
*Edit* I suppose I should clarify a little more...
Give the Forum Moderators the option to move or ``archive`` a whole page into another forum. (Archive for that forum) IE, Each page holds 50 posts max. Or, Allow us to set an option to have any threads after 150 threads, Starting with the oldest...(IE only allow 150 threads in the forum) and have them auto archive.
