Post Bunch of Minor Forum Improvements

I've made the following the modifications to the forum to provide for a better user experience:

E-mail addresses now hidden

Previously when a user would go to a member's profile and attempt to e-mail him/her, they would see the actual e-mail address of the user.

This has been changed to keep the e-mail address of users private, and instead users wishing to e-mail other members are presented with a contact form which will automatically be sent to their address.

Minimum number of characters removed

Previously, there was a rule which required a minimum of 10 characters to be made in a post. While this may seem like a good rule, it can often be annoying when somebody wants to reply with a simple "LOL!".

There is now no minimum requirement.

Maximum number of characters per post increased

Previously there was a maximum limit of 10,000 characters per post. This has been increased to 20,000.

Quick Reply Click Requirement Removed

Previously members had to click on a "Quick Reply" button on an above post before being able to have access, or type in, the quick reply box. This click-requirement has been removed and users can now access the quick reply box without having to click anymore.


Hope you all enjoy!

I kinda liked having a minimum of 10 characters in a post, yes, true.
People who want to type "LOL!", and "LOL!" only need to find another movieforum. Yes?
I hope members on this forum got some more to say than just, yep', you guessed it, "LOL!"

LOL.
..and yes, LOL!



But anyway, kudos on movieforums.org
..the forum is getting better and better by the minute

That was what I had originally thought too and why I had originally implemented it, but the fact is that people who do not wish to post anything worthwhile will continue to do so with the 10-char limit or not. So instead of "LOL", they'd type something along the lines of "you know what? that is funny LOL" instead.
