Hi there. I'm using v2.5.2.

I'm a new user, but have combed through both the manual and the
Admin area (including control panel) very thoroughly over the
past few days, but am still left with the following questions:

* My tree view doesn't work well all the time.

I have it set to tree both thread messages and threads. But at
times, in a forum with more than a few (5 to 10+) posts, it'll
only show SOME of the NEWEST messages in tree view. Switching to
flat view temporarily shows the new posts, but they won't all
appear in tree view.

I have the number set to display 25 or 40 or so messages AND
threads/topics in the ctrl panel. Any idea why this happens?

* Is there any way to move individual POSTS/MESSAGES, not just
threads? A lot of times, my users reply to the original message
in a topic instead of the message they're reading, and things
are all willy-nilly.

* I DO have the PDF option enabled in the admin ctrl. But when
you click the link in the actual forum to generate a PDF, it says
that the admin has disabled that option. :-\ How to fix, please?

* The messages in tree view on THIS forum indent differently than
the ones on MY forum. In mine, there are little arrows over white
boxes to indicate replies. And new messages are really hardly
indented at all.

But in yours, all of the replies are indicated with grey boxes,
and the indents are VERY distinct. I'd like for mine to indent
this way, so it's clearer and more organized. Is this possible?
(I wouldn't like to use a beta version.)

* Is there a way to limit the number of posts a user makes per
24 hours?

* Is there a way to replace *specific words only* using simple
replace? The RegEx is VERY confusing to me, and I don't really
have time right now to study up to learn to use it.

I don't allow cursing on my forum, and I find that now the word
assistant might be replaced with a**istant, for instance, instead
of JUST dealing with the word "a*s". And because I have it set to
replace curse words with substitutes, this confuses people.

Any tips?

Thanks very much for your help.

Namaste,
FitnessJunkie
