| Where can I create forum sections? Control Panel -> Active modules -> Forum -> Manage forums and sections. Can I make a site of a forum only? Yes. Leave active Forum and Page Editor modules only, make a login page with the link to the forum or set up redirect in Page Editor settings. Main --> Common settings --> Redirect visitors from the address "mysite.ucoz.com" to the address "/forum" Is it possible to create at uCoz a forum on phpBB? Or to install vBulletin, IPB? No, it is not possible to use PHP scripts and MySQL at uCoz. The majority (90%+) of free scripts are written by beginners in programming, who still learn to program, and so these scripts are unsafe for the server and therefore for other users’ sites. We make up for the impossibility to install own scripts with many services, by means of which anyone can make a unique site of various levels of complexity. We do not plan to add the capability to install own scripts. Can I transfer to uCoz a forum from another hosting? Databases transfer form other forums is not possible. In theory, it can be done, but as there are a lot of site engines and their versions, and a few people want to change them for uCoz, so we do not think it is necessary to expend time in writing a converter. How can I make a subforum? You can't create a sub-forum and we are not planning to add this feature in nearest future. Subforums worsen forum usability. It is always possible to manage without subforums. I want messages, posted by one user in succession, to be added as separate messages and not as one message with the inscription "Added". How can I do this? In user groups settings disable "paste messages". I merged threads and, as a result, all old posts of the older thread became "newer" then new posts and therefore new posts moved down. Why? You must think when you choose what thread will be main, and what - attached. I cannot write in different colors in forum. How can I fix it? Check whether the codes are closed, i.e.: [color]...[/color] A popular thread has been accidentally removed. Can I restore it? Removed information cannot be restored. Some registered users cannot edit their earlier posted messages. Why? Users can edit their posts during a limited period only. It can be changed in Forum settings. The date (Tuesday, 04-01-2008, 10:45 Am | Message #) is not displayed in forum messages. How can I fix it? Edit template of forum messages appearance. Is it possible to substitute "bad" words in forum? There is no such option in forum. The window "New reply" is on a separate page. How can I fix it? Uncheck the option Reply-form is on a separate page in Forum settings. Is it possible to display on the main page last five forum messages? Yes. Use the module Informer. Is it possible to have two forums at one site? No. Is it possible to indicate near a link number of transitions by this link? It is not possible in message text, only BB-codes from the list All codes are working. Is it possible to remove percent from the respect level and leave digits only? Yes, edit template of forum messages appearance. How can I make a reverse order of forum messages, i.e. a new message is the first? It is not possible. How can I make Birthday greetings in the forum? It is enough to enter date of birth in the profile. Then the list of people who have birthday on this day will be displayed automatically. --- 24/03/2009 --- Can I change the order of sections in forum? CP -> Forum -> Management of forums and sections -> Section -> Edit -> Sequence number. How can I set a forum moderator? Thread: http://www.forum.ucoz.com/forum/9-3371-1 Can I change [hide] tag? No. Can I change character length in forum description? No, 200 is the limit. Can I post a flash on the forum? Enable HTML permissions for user group and use [video] tag. Can I use HTML/JS in my signature? No, only BB-Codes can be enabled. --- 27/06/2009 --- When sub-forums will be added? uCoz doesn't plan adding sub-forums. At least not in nearest future. Is it possible to attach more than 5 images? No. 5 is max for now.
I'm not "man", "sir" or whatever. I'm female! About signatures, screenshots etc...

I'm pretty sure that you copy a text from MS Word or something like this into uCoz Visual Editor... when you do that a lot of HTML trash goes with article text... so you get short article but a lot of symbols.... DON'T use Word for articles... use FrontPage or DreamWeaver.
