    Great point Lee, not sure why I didn't think to say that.

    It is kind of annoying, but I think I like the potential safety of the auto save feature more than my dislike of the text sticking around. It has really only been an issue in LDs, so I'm not that concerned over it.

    Sly, if you're looking for a slew of useful little plugins, check out the work of Valter over at vbulletin.org: https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/member.php?u=108756

    I use multiple of his plugins for my Rangers' forum. Sub-forum manager, Moderating Stats, Auto Birthday Greeter, Attention Zero-Posters, Advanced Registration, Advanced Forum Statistics, and Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count are all personal favorites.

    Also, I know you mentioned not wanting to pay for a new theme, but for the money ($28), Primus is a well-designed, well-functioning template with five solid/fluid versions: https://themeforest.net/item/primus-...21272?s_rank=7

    I think you'd particularly enjoy the black and white version given the "Steel Cage" theme and all. You can check out a live demo above.

    Not sure what is the best place to post thus, but out of curiosity, what skills and programming languages do you need/use to create and maintain a forum like this?

    You don't need to know any of them. But having a rudimentary understanding of basic HTML/CSS and some understanding of PHP would definitely help.

    I'll check those things out. Thanks!

    It depends on what you mean. If you're wanting to know how to create a forum like vBulletin forums, there's several languages you'd need to know (HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, etc.). If you mean to set one up and maintain them, then you don't HAVE to know any, but having some understanding of those languages is extremely beneficial to be able to do any meaningful technical assistance.

    I know next to nothing about technology and I could run the majority of a forum like this on my own. However, the big stuff, like installing those mods that Sly has done, would likely be way over my head without someone walking me through it.

    Honestly, things like mods are not super difficult. You just need to make sure you run backups before you install them.

    The more difficult part would be if you actually needed to utilize the backups because something went wrong...
