- The advertisements are gone. That in and of itself should proove benificial in numerous ways.

- The new format is a little easier to navigate around in (In my humble opinion).

- HTML is allowed inside the body of your message, if you know it, use it, just be sure to close all your tags correctly, and if possible, test it out before you post it. I'll post a followup message shortly with a few easy html commands you can use to spruce up your messages.

- IP addresses are not visible to the public. To promote posting from people who want to remain anonymous, the IP addresses will be left off, but if you abuse the board, I still can and will ban you.

- The old board is still there to look at, but not to post to. In a little while it will be gone.

- When you go to reply to a message, you will notice that it has the contents of th eprevious message, please put your message above the old one, or you can even delete the whole thing if you want.

- Also relating to replying, you may notice that the contents of the old message in the text box have the word blockquote, which is surrounded by the less than, greater than signs, this is some html used in the formating of the message so that the old quoted text stands out from your new message.

- Another addition you may notice is the text string which appears under your name, and the time the message was posted. This text string is a simple poll which detects your screen resolution, which internet browser you're using, and which operating system you're using. This is simply a poll so that I know how most people view the web site. This way I can tailor the web site to be optimal for the most people.

- You must have JavaScript enabled to be able to use this message board. There are no harmfull JavaScripts on this page, and if you have JavaScript disabled, you will not even be able to post a message.

- Although this is not a strict policy, I'd like to request that names be at least three characters long, and preferably at least four characters long. This is purely personal preference and not required in any way.

- Anything else that needs to be said I'll add in here later.

Enjoy.
