Watching Topics Watching topics permits users to receive e-mail notifications on replies to those topics. Users must be registered and logged in to use this feature. Users can elect to watch topics they choose by clicking a Watch this topic for replies link near the bottom of every topic view page. A user can also enable the topic watch feature for a particular topic by checking the Notify me when replies are posted check box when replying to a thread (see Figure 9-1, shown later in this chapter). To stop watching a topic, the user can revisit the topic and click the Stop watching this topic link. Formatting Posts Using BBCode phpBB provides a potent and safe HTML substitute, known as BBCode, so users can format their text (bold, italic, underline, and so on) without exposing your board to the possibility of malicious HTML. BBCode is usable in forum posts, private messages, and signatures (small lines of text registered users can optionally attach to every post). The BBCode system is incredibly powerful and easily customized via phpBB s template engine, which I will discuss in Chapter 12. Table 9-1 outlines the available BBCode in default installations of phpBB 2.0. As Table 9-1 illustrates, BBCode tags are used much like HTML. Note the usage of square brackets versus HTML s angle brackets. Table 9-1.
