<font size="-1"><b><a name="thread_mode" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Thread Mode</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    Sets the default thread display mode.     <ul>    <li>Flat mode (default), shows all    messages in a thread in an un-indented, multi-page list. This mode is    familiar to many users, and is good for large, active conversations.    <li>Threaded mode shows all messages on a single page and indented    appropriately to indicate which messages are replies to other messages.    This mode is useful when it's important for users to be able to easily    track how messages are related to each other, while still being able to    see many messages at once.    <li>Tree mode displays a single message per page with links to other    messages below. This mode is useful for in-depth discussions where it's    important to easily track how messages are related.    </ul>     </font></ul><font size="-1"><b><a name="last_post" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Show "Last Post" Link</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    When this feature is enabled, information about the person who made the    last post in a thread is displayed on the thread summary page. You may    wish to disable this feature if your UI layout doesn't leave room for    this information.    </font></ul><font size="-1"><b><a name="new_account" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>New Account Creation Enabled</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    If you use an external user database, you may wish to disable account    creation links inside the forums since you'll likely already have your own    registration process.    </font></ul><font size="-1"><b><a name="change_password" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Change Password Enabled</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    If you use an external user database, you may wish to disable the change    password functionality inside the forums since you'll likely already have    your own password change process.    </font></ul><font size="-1"><b><a name="track_ip" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Track IP's</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    When enabled, the IP address of the poster will be saved as an extended    property of each message. You can use this information to verify the    identity of users or to take action against misbehaving users.    </font></ul> <font size="-1"><b><a name="choose_locale" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Allow Users To Choose Locale</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    Specify whether users should be able to choose a custom locale setting    in their account settings. If user's aren't allowed to choose their own    locale, the global locale will be used. The locale controls how dates    and numbers are formatted, as well as what language the UI of the forums    is displayed in (if a translation for the particular locale is available).    </font></ul> <!--<font size="-1"><b><a name="choose_threading" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Allow Users To Choose Their Thread Mode</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    Allow user's to overide the default threading mode to choose between    flat, threaded, or tree mode.    </font></ul>--> <font size="-1"><b><a name="read_tracking" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Read Tracking</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    (Professional and Enterprise Only) Choose the read tracking mode that should    be used. Simple read tracking uses the last time the user visited the forums    to flag content as new. Advanced read tracking keeps track of    the individual threads and messages a user has viewed, which provides a    better browsing experience. However, this tracking incurs a higher    database load, so isn't appropriate for large communities.    </font></ul><font size="-1"><b><a name="questions" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Mark Topics as Questions</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    You can choose whether or not you allow forum topic authors can mark new topics as    questions which require resolution. If allowed, the default skin will put a question    mark beside the topic listing on the forum page.    </font></ul><font size="-1"><b><a name="rss_feeds" style="text-decoration:none;" ></a>Content Syndication (RSS Feeds)</b></font><ul>    <font size="-1">    You can choose whether or not you allow forum and topic listings to be syndicated    via RSS. If you do allow it, then data can be streamed from the JSP pages in the    /rss folder of the default skin.    </font></ul>
