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?

Re: Testing...
Moderator is a restricted forum for - moderators! You have moderating rights. You will also have the ability to close topics. Moderators have all the attributes of power users, or whatever we will call them.
Power user - or "Commentard extraordinaire" as <a href="http://forums.theregister.co.uk/user/18567/">The BigYin</a> dubs himself, has three privileges / rights.
1. Ability to create topics
2. Ability to post html links <a href>
3. Ability to post limited html within articles - currently bold/strong, italics, emphasis

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.

<b>This shouldn't work</b>
Let's test a few things, none of which should work.
Style that bold!
<?php echo("Hello, Vultures!"); ?>

Well I would assume that they don't let you just put anything in your comment, and then paste it into the middle of the actual page HTML. Who do you think they are; Microsoft?
It's interesting the way that the working tabs are interpreted (I guess when the post is made?), but tags in non-upgraded accounts are left in as text.
Is the intention that eventually tags will be given to all the unwashed and that everyone will be equal again, or will some always be more equal that others?

much obliged sir

Well I can't seem to break it , no class, no id, no style, no images, no links, no events, no XML processing instructions, I can't even enter an invalid URL in the a href... little Bobby Tables will have to get his kicks elsewhere.
Plus you've got Unicode working, which is more than Slashdot has managed in 20-odd years :-)
Thumbs up from me.

Quick test of accented letters...
(... 'cos I'm half Italian.) And some other random symbols I can get from my keyboard...
È é è ‰ ™ ® ü Ü û î Û ö Ö ¥ ñ Ñ ÷≥≤«æ…‘“π≠–ºª•¶§∞¢#€¡
Œ„‰ÂÊÁËÈØ∏”’⁄™‹›fifl‡°·‚—±ÅÍÏÌÓÔÒÚÆ»ÛÙÇ◊ıˆ˜¯˘¿
Giovanni disse:
«Non e possibile! Funziona!»
– Davvero? I caratteri Unicode si vedono tutti?
– Si!
All the Español I know:
¡Ole!
¿Que?
"Well," said the DFS salesman, shortly before he was arrested after producing his concealed pun, "sofa, so good."

Bugger me, it works!
Does anyone see weird 'filler' symbols instead? It'd be interesting to see how far Unicode has spread.
(I.e. if you see multiple 'empty square' symbols, please reply with your platform, browser, etc.)
FYI: I posted on a MacBook Pro running Safari 5.1.2 on OS X 10.7.2.
I suspect the "filled Apple" symbol (in the row above "Giovanni disse") may not appear correctly on other platforms.

All the symbols seem to show here, except the one after: ÂÊÁËÈØ
I assume that is the Apple one? Obviously my computer does not show it to save me from being sued by the evil Apple lawyers :) But given that I am using IE8 (Spanish) on XP(Spanish), funny letters should show up! I already tried a few of these in the title for a new forum/topic and they worked there too.
You need a little more Spanish. Try after me:
¿Hay un bar cerca? (Eye un bar ther-ca) ≡ Is there a bar nearby?
The answer will always be "si" and some pointing. A friend told me that he thought the sign "Salida" in the underground meant bar, because if you follow the signs, they always lead to one :)
Then once inside:
Una cerveza por favor (una ther-betha por fabor) ≡ a beer please.

xkcd
I used to think that Dilbert was the best, but I'm afraid that I have to give that honor to xkcd now.
Some of my favorites are:
Old but still good; "Steal This Comic"
