Forum Updates and changes

OK, now if you add any URL, as long as it begins with http:// it will automatically generate a hyperlink around it that opens in a new window.

Also, when logged in the user at the forum sees a little bar at the bottom of each post with info about the poster such as their membership level, number of posts, their website with a link and an email link, only if they have given public access to that info of course. Visitors that are not logged in see none af that stuff.

I also limited User's registered names to 16 characters to save space so long names don't throw off the tabling of the main topic listing and stuff...

Whaddya think, everyone happy with the changes, any probs or concerns? post 'em here.

Doh! ya, I screwed with some stuff and accidently deleted a couple opening table cells but not the closing ones...Oooops

luckily I never uplaod without going right to the page and making sure it worked, sogimme a break, I am human... :-( Ya caught me, I am failable (faliable)...er, heck, I MAKE MISTAKES...

and, actaully, you already can search posts, look in the left column for "Community Search" whaddya blind? ... hehehe and it will hit page two in two more topics...

However, right now the search return isn't very neat and orderly though for forum searches, I will work on that next...
