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



Are you referring to the message tree view or topic tree view?

Quote:


* 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.



You can split certain messages out of a topic creating a new topic using these messages.

* 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?



Make sure you have the pdf extension enabled.

Quote:


* 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.



Identation can be increased in 2.5.3RC3 (via template system) and the icons (unless changed by you) are identical across all FUDforum installations.

Quote:


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



No, you can only limit use to use 1 message per X number of seconds to prevent message flooding.

Quote:


* 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.



Use simple replace rather then regex.

Quote:


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.



Simple replace cannot diffirentiate between words, that's why you need the power of regular expressions, which can.
