After you make your 11th post on the new forums you should have no issues. Of course a lot of simple take for granted things are turning out to be buggy for one reason or another :(
Question: Why can't I post links or pictures? Question: Why can't I have a signature, avatar, or profile picture? Question: What's wrong with my account?
Answer: You are in the "registered users" user group. This group is very limited in what it can do. This will annoy spammers to no end Just keep posting once you have been registered for 30 days and have made 11 posts your account will be "unlocked".
It's really easy to put someone on ignore and it's strongly recommended that you do so with people who's posts you don't like.
Step 1 - log in
Step 2 - click on the "settings" link
Step 3 - click on the "edit ignore list" link on the left side of the screen
Step 4 - type (or paste if you copied and pasted it) the username of the person you want to ignore
Step 5 - click the "ok" button on the right of the screen
Easy peasy and will lower your blood pressure. One important note though, this won't hide quoted posts. It's an oversight on the developers part and it's not an easy thing to "fix." So if someone quotes someone you have ignored, you'll see the quote.
Alternatively when you click on a person's name and view their profile page, underneath their avatar, there is a option that says, "Ignore this person". Click that link and then click the yes button.
One of the bugs that seems to exist, is that clicking on [More] for the Smilies does nothing, at least for me. If I want to post a smilie, I must do it from memory. I am thinking I should post a list of the smilies until we have this bug squashed.

Mike has extended the choices of "Generic smilies" available. I have gone through and enabled some of them. There are actually many more to choose from, I just didn't want to overwhelm you at once! I have also added back the "old style" emoticons, for those that might be missing those. The complete list of currently available smilies is viewable by clicking the "more" link when using the advanced reply.
