Automatic Media Embedding

If you post a youtube or vimeo link in a post, it will automatically be converted to an embedded flash video player. (this can be disabled via a checkbox in the advanced posting innerface, or overriden by [yt] bbcode, which embeds youtube videos without a surrounding frame.

Note that we also support TapaTalk for iPhone users.

Ignored Forums

As shown in the User CP options screenshot above, we also allow users to entirely ignore certain sections of the forum!

Quick Forum Controls


If you're a site supporter or Pentaxian, you'll see extra mini-icons beside each forum. These allow you to search new threads, start a new thread, or subscribe to the entire forum.

Auto Thread Subscriptions


You can enable this option in the User CP so that by default, you receive User CP or e-mail notifications about updates to all threads you've posted in. This feature is not retroactive.


Multiple Forum Styles

We feature 7 forum styles here at PentaxForums.com. Our Modern Skin comes in 6 variations: Green Fluid (default), Green Fixed, Red Fluid, Red Fixed, Classic Gray Fluid, and Classic Gray Fixed. The Fixed screens are set to an 800-pixel width, while all other versions stretch horizontally to fit your screen.

The final style is the 'low-fi skin', which is optimized for users with slow computers or internet connections. It also features a larger font for easier readability. Few graphics are used in this style.

To switch styles, visit the bottom-left corner of any forum page. To set a default, visit your User CP options, accessible via the manage account link by the login area.



Forum Home Social Groups

Social groups which you're a member of are displayed as if they were forums at the bottom of the forum homepage, for your convenience!
