What's the difference between Reply and Quick Reply:
Quick Reply is made as a "Quick Response" block, so you can make a response to a post (or thread) before you forget or as you read them. Quick Reply is meant as a "no thrills" response box, as it's just there for a fast/non-formatted response.

When importing from UBB.Classic / UBB.Threads you'll likely notice that a lot of Private Messages that you've deleted in the past have "magically" appeared out of "nowhere" There is a very logical reason behind this behavior.

Utilizing Sub-Forums
May 21, 2007
How do I enable Sub-Forums?
When creating a new forum (or editing an existing forum) you have the option to select a category; in this dropdown box you'll also see other existing forums. Upon selecting the parent forum you wish your new forum to belong to, and clicking submit, it will now be a forum within the parent forum.
How many sub-forums can I create?
As many as you want, just keep in mind that it may be difficult for your users to navigate if you create your sub-forums too deep.

Changes made in the ".HTAccess" file have a permission set for each option specified, you can generally find information on them through the Apache2 manual (the one we'll be working with is listed ab…
