Password Length Limit
It has been brought to my attention by sedmelluq that the longest password length that the forum software can handle is thirty-two characters long. Any password longer than that will be truncated by the software to the first thirty-two characters, and only this truncated version will be usable. So if you use a particularly long password and have trouble logging in, this may be the reason. Note that there is no warning given that this happens at the time you register your account.
[Edit: This is no longer true. -t]

Copied from a post nbahn made in this thread.
- In the "Forum" pulldown menu there is a "Forum Information" category. Click on the "Search" link in that category.
- In the "Forum -- Search" page look for the second field ("Search for Author"). Enter your user name in that field.
- In the "Search Options" section click on "Display results as Posts"
- Click on the "Search" icon.
- In the resulting "Forum -- Search" page click on your user name.
- In the resulting "Forum -- Viewing Profile" page click on your user name in the dropdown menu.
- Click on the word "Quicknav" on the left hand side of the menu.
- On the resulting pop-up menu click on "add current page"
You now have a link in your "settings" menu that goes to your user profile page.

Code: | anime#9134"Attack on Titan" |
and it's displayed like this:
