    Testing...

    Right, I'm in a User Forum. What's a Moderator Forum? Should I need to know?

    One thought: can we make "Create a new topic" a really big, clear button for us simple people? But not so big some narcissistic nutter is tempted to create several topics an hour (which always happens with forums any where).

    Also can someone define Power User and Uberlord for me?

        I think it's a shame that you went for Power User rather than Platinum membership.

        At this point, I'd post a link that automatically googles for "site:forums.theregister.co.uk Platinum membership", but I don't know how.

            Yeah, I thought about doing that, but I worried about the rather long "cookie-like" nature of the URL. You've probably just spilled your bank account password to the world or something.

            BTW, what's <it>psy-ab</it>?

          Err - "Power user" is merely a place-holder. We will look for something less dull. Put it to the vote, even.

    Navigation.

    Ok, navigating directly to http://forums.theregister.co.uk/section/forums/user_forums/ presents a handly list of the non-topic related forums.

    Question: Is there a way of getting there from elsewhere in the site? Thumping the "forums" link presents the old commentard view of the whole shebang and now I have commented to this one, I expect it'll show up there - I'll check in a second[1]. Ok there's a search, but some way of getting to that browsing view without firing a new tab / session would be handy.....

    Maybe it's there and I've missed it?

    [1] Which means an "edit post" feature would also be nice to have so I could report back without double-posting.

      Nope....it doesn't.

      I was sort of expecting a new "Non-article forums" (or similar) bit to be triggered by that, but there's nuffin.

        It's a bit like The Matrix; think of yourself as Neo, on an isolated platform disconnected from the main part of the matrix. Yes, that's right, Drew C can now surely say to you 'all your base are mine'.

      There is no visible link to user forums via the site yet - we will sort that out next week.

    WTF?

    Hmmm.

    If I look at my posts today, then I appear to be able to approve or reject my own posts. Not sure whether this is a good thing, or even if it is intended!

      auto-moderation

      Peter, your comments should be accepted automatically. That is intended. Like most user forums, moderation will take place post publication.

      Not sure why you are getting auto approval - rejection message though! We will investigate.

    I can't even game the preview screen. Murray has it checking for everything I can think of. Making the El Reg server execute arbitrary code via this posting mechanism is proving to be difficult.

    So does multi-line quoting from the parent work? I'll write something quite long here to see if I can quote it and then see whether the spurious paragraph tags still turn up all over the place making it very difficult to work out what the quote was really about.

    Can we have new lines please?

    Rather than an enter giving you a big gap can we have a line directly underneath and also have the ability to have different sized gaps between paragraphs?
