[ank=lock]This is a feature that only the author of the thread/topic can lock or unlock. It does not matter if you're only a member and not part of the staff group. This only applies to those who first created a topic/thread.
The lock and unlock buttons are found next to Modify, Delete and Quote buttons.
Don't worry, if you accidentally locked your thread, you can still unlock it yourself. So, you don't have to depend on the staff to lock your thread once it has been decided between you and other players who participated in a thread as closed.

[ank=spoiler]Obviously, the spoiler tag is mandatory especially when a post contains a section of writing that is not acceptable for the view of youngsters, mainly that is mature material.
It's easy to do. All you needed to do is highlight the area where it is rated as mature and click "Spoiler" found just right below the UBBC Codes drop-down list. What it will do is that when you complete your post and view it, it will simply wrap the area that contains adult material into a single button. Once you click on the button, it will spread open inside a post to reveal the content for your reading.
It's simple as that and it is the vital part of this forum. So, please use it when your posts contain adult materials.

[ank=mature] Again, this mature content icon is to be used in conjunction with the spoiler tag at all times. However, you don't have to immediately set the message icon to mature content when you start your thread. As you continues with your thread and you find that the post now contain mature material, please, start using the spoiler tag as explained earlier and use the Mature Content message icon.
How to do this?
Look at the very top of the UBBC Codes drop-down, and to your left, you'll see "Message Icon:". With it comes with a drop-down list where the Mature Content is located. All you need to do is click on that and your thread is set to mature content warning to let others know. You see the black and white icon engraved "M"? That is the icon you'll see when you're viewing thread listing (not the posts you're reading, but what you see before you click on links to view posts).

[ank=music] This is possibly one of the best feature that a forum can provide for members. Instead of having the music player firmly planted to the forum, you have a stand-alone music player that pops open in a new window. The music you listen will play without stopping as you browse the forum.
Where can you find the stand-alone music player? Well, it's located under the Navigation sidebar. As the image shows, the "Listen to Music" is highlighted. Just click on that. When you click on it, you should get a pop-up window with the music player inside as shown in the picture:After that, just go ahead and listen to the musics!

[ank=info] Everywhere you look in the posts, you see interesting little kibbles of information about a character in the mini-profile? Have no clue what I'm talking about? Well, here's the picture to show you what exactly I'm trying to pin-point:See where we have Species, Subspecies, Occupation and Alliance? That is the information provided about your own character in that single account. You can easily add information like this when you click "Profile" under the banner then "Modify Profile". When you scroll down, you'll find boxes inquiring for information about your character. That's when you'll add inputs and when you complete, your own mini-profile will show up just like the image as shown above!
