I believe that is a restriction set up by Forumotion, mainly to prevent spamming/trolling. I'll look into changing this around if I can, but for now we'll just have to deal with it. |

Well, MOCpages is designed to be a gallery with some very basic and ineffective messaging systems in the form of comments and groups, whereas this is a forum designed solely for socializing with others and with no gallery aspects at all. |

It will be operating a lot differently, as we'll be organized into one community with multiple threads, rather than one website, multiple communities, and creations to comment on. |

| Two things (saving space like a boss)  : 1. Where is the chat box?  EDIT: Wait, don't worry, I found it.  2. Could you add a 'people online' so I know who I could chat to if I could theoretically find the box? EDIT: Call me a herp-a-derp but I found the box now too. Make that three... 3. After I post it sends me to a page with two links (Titled 'Information'), but about a second later it sends me back to the thread. Question mark? _________________

| The "Information" page happens on every forumotion community I'm affiliated with, so I don't think I can change it. Also, answering your question from the GC thread, the "Intelligence of Posts" of an individual user can be raised or lowered by the little "+" and "-" signs in the upper right-hand corner of every post. Clicking on the icons will, respectively, lower or raise the rating for that particular post, adding or detracting from that user's "Intelligence of Posts". I meant to mention this in my forum changes announcement, but I forgot.  |

| Scroll to the top of the page and click on "Profile". From there, find the "Avatar" sub-menu. It's generally better to choose an avatar from your computer rather than from a url. |

I've done this because I know that the other two admins over there won't know enough about being a forum admin. I'm eventually going to make them moderators and then admins after that, but for now, I'd like to observe everything on the forum for a bit. |
