Those who are used to classic phpBB will may be perturbed. Indeed, I've added some features which allow to improve the abilities of this forum.

Firstly, the "raccourcis"  (in english : Shortcuts - cf. Important Announces).

Then, there's a topic priority system. Usually, topics are ordered by chronology, from the more recent to the older. Only exceptions are post-it and announces. Thanks to this system, normal topics can also be ordered with an importance level (but this feature is reserved to the admin only).

So, don't worry if you see older topics before some other more recent.

Another interresting thing : when you answer in a topic, the topic's title is displayed above the answer box (you see "Répondre/Editer dans Double post : there's an "anti-flood" system ; I've installed a very convenient mod which automatically merges double posts. I'm (of course) immune from this restriction, and I could, if needed, disable this limitation for some specific users. -- Removed, because of some unread messages problems.

You can also delete your account, if you wish so.

I've also installed a karma system, which I appreciate. There's a 5 minutes delay between each vote, and we can't vote for himself. If I see some abuses, I'll reset the delay to its initial level, which was 1 hour between each vote.

I've also add a ban system which allows me to make temporary banishments. Of course, definitive bans exist yet. I hope not to have to use it often.

You may have noticed the info-bubbles sizable when you move over the topics' titles, in the forums. These bubbles shows :
1. The topic's creation date
2. The content of the firs message (BBCode isn't recognized in these bubbles)
I'll see further ; if it's troublesome, I'll remove the resume of the first post.

Poll : when the results are displayed, they're not displayed in the order they've been registered, but in the popularity order (from the most popular to the less popular).

Topic description : as on Invision boards, you can add a little description of your topic.

The one page topic system : for the topics which spreads on several pages, you can see display them on just one page (link "Page unique" at right, at the top and bottom of each page).

Quick reply box at the bottom of each topic page, to answer quickly. You don't have access to the BBCode buttons (but you can type the tags if you know them). You can display smilies and quote a selected text ("Citer la sélection").

Color bar : When you write a message, below the form buttons, there's a color bar : it allows to select the color to apply to the text (select the tex, then click on the color you want).

New form features :
- Cross out
- Center
- Ability to shift the text
- "Anti-n00b" special - :mrgreen: : the Google's tags. Here's a demo which would be more illustrative than some long speeches : http://mike.werewolf.free.fr/Data/wolf.pnghttp://mike.werewolf.free.fr/Data/wolf.pngHere is a small example to show you what is possible to do. When I've written this part, I've put two img tags, one with "=left", and the other with "=right", and then, I've typed all the text you're reading now. And all without creating new paragraph.

Save of the message ; you have a little button "Sauver le message" (in english : "Save the message") which appears below the reply box, on the reply page (not in the quick reply), and which allows you to copy your message in the clipboard. So, if ever your message is lost for any reason, you just have to return on the reply page, dans paste (Ctrl+V) in the answer box to get back your message.

When you answer to a PM, you can see the message you're replying to, as a normal reply in a topic.

To avoid the very long quotes & codes parts, especially in creation help topics, where we can need to post some big blocks of code, there's a feature which reduce long quotes and codes (accurately, they're placed in a box with navigation arrows). You could choose "Sélectionner" (in english : "Select") to easily copy the quote or the code, or you could choose "Agrandir/Réduire" (in english : "Enlarge/Reduce") to see the whole code/quote as usual, or to go back to the "box with nav arrows" mode. Here's a simple example with KFM's movelist :

  Controls
  --------

    Basic Controls
    --------------
      Kung Fu Man is a 4-button character. Button X is his weak
      punch, button Y his strong punch, A for weak kick, and
      B for his strong kick. We will use W. to mean weak, and S.
      for strong.

      We will use the notation:
      D - down
      F - forward
      U - up
      B - back
      x - button X (weak punch)
      y - button Y (strong punch)
      a - button A (weak kick)
      b - button B (strong kick)

      DF means diagonally down-forwards, UB diagonally up-back,
      etc. If you see ab it means press button A and button B
      simultaneously. x/y means hit either x or y, and so on.

      Use the direction keys to move KFM. Press down to crouch,
      and up to jump. While in the air, you can press up again to
      air-jump. Hold the direction facing away from the opponent
      to guard. KFM can guard attacks while jumping.

      When falling in the air, hit buttons X and Y at the same
      time to recover. Hold a directional key when recovering to
      move a little bit in that direction. If you are near the
      ground when you hit xy, you will do a ground-based recovery
      instead.

      KFM has a taunt. To do it, press the start button.
