Funny that everyone was stalwartly against signature images before the move. 
 
 

The spoiler tag permission .

Go into Permissions for the Regular Users group; you'll need to enable spoilers to be viewed and posted. You might also want to enable Guests to view them, otherwise they won't show up for people not logged in.
 
 

"move" has been stripped out as a bb tag, though it still shows the marquee button for me for some reason.
 

  The button's not showing up for me, so that seems to be fine.

 

I'm not sure how to do the logo link (or anything related to themes), but it's likely possible.  I don't know how to make themes myself, and there doesn't seem to be an easy editor as with UBB, at least in the admin panel.  I'd prefer not to use DF everywhere on the forums, though the default theme does hurt my eyes a bit so I understand why people would suggest that.  If you are logged in, you can make it appear everywhere from your profile.

  The logo as a link is possible as either a mod or as part of a theme. I'll e-mail you with some further information on modifying/creating themes.

 

Is there a way to see all of the previous posts when you are posting without opening another window?  I can only see 10 or so, with no paging option.  Responding to future of the fortress or a sudden active bug report/suggestion will be quite aggravating this way, since I'll often need to have 2 or 3 pages available.

  I might be able to make a mod to help with that.

My position is administrator, but it handles the post-based groups differently.  Even after checking the option not to show post-based groups like Bay Watcher for admins/mods, it doesn't work.

Hmm, I have no idea why that might not be working; I've had no problems disabling that. Did you change that option for the Darkling theme, or just the Default theme? The option is stored separately for each theme.

EDIT: by the way, people wanting monospaced text without using a Code box (such as for a signature) can instead use Teletype. The button for it looks like a typewriter, and the actual BBCode is "tt". An example:
gBg
B@g
gBB       Beak dogs and goblins surround the adventurer!  What will happen next?!
[tt]gBg
B@g
gBB       Beak dogs and goblins surround the adventurer!  What will happen next?![/tt]

After I posted a new topic I was thrown to the general discussion (main forum) instead of last post of the thread. However after modifying it returns you to your post.
Can you please configure this to return you to your posted message instead of throwing you in the main forum?

You can set it in your profile here:

"Return to topics after posting by default"

Seems like everything made it in decent shape.

There's a 1440x450 character set here: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/List_of_user_character_sets#Square_tilesets

If you're wanting to use a graphics set, you'll probably want to instead stick to a 1280x400 character set since there aren't any larger graphics sets available. http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/List_of_user_graphics_sets

There's not that much difference between 1440 and 1280, so it should be no big loss.

You could also host the file at DFFD: http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=001642

 

For those of you who don't visit the general discussion board very often, I figured I'd post here to make sure everyone knows about it as a place where DF files can be hosted. The thread with details is over here:

What problem are you having? Also, what browser are you using?

Feel free to use the contact form on the site, as this is a bit off-topic from discussion of your mod.

Somebody already posted the memory.ini for Reveal.exe. http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/User_talk:Rick#0.27.176.38c
