Post Settings

The Post Settings page of the Category:Posts and Topics section of the Category:Administration Panel contains some settings regarding the posting of messages on your forum.

Enable/Disable Settings----

  • Remove nested quotes when posting - This will only show the quote of the Post in question, not any quoted posts from that post.
  • Embed flash into posts - This option will allow your users to use Flash directly inside their posts, just like images. This could pose a security risk.
  • Enable spell checking - Enable spell checking. You MUST have the pspell library installed on your server and your PHP configuration set up to use the pspell library.

[/vers] Numerical Input Settings----

  • Maximum allowed Post size - Set the maximum characters you wish you wish to allow in a post.
  • Break up words with more letters than - This option breaks words longer than a certain length into pieces so they don't disturb the forum's layout. (as much...) This option should not be set to a value under 40.
  • Posts to show on Topic summary - This allows you to set the number of previous posts shown in the Topic summary at the Reply screen.

Time Related Settings----

  • Time required between posts from the same IP - Here you can select the amount of time that must pass between postings. This can be used to stop people from "spamming" your Forum by limiting how often they can post.
  • Courtesy edit wait time - Number of seconds allowed for a Post to be edited before logging the last edit date.
  • Maximum time after posting to allow edit - Number of minutes allowed to pass before a user can no longer edit a Post they have made. Set to 0 disable. Note: This will not effect any user who has permission to edit other peoples posts.
