Typo3 users are a clever, resourceful bunch, and they often find uses of the forum that either I didn't know were possible, or that I wouldn't have thought of. I'll keep a record of some of these tips and tricks on this page; feel free to add your own using the annotate page tool. Good tricks will be added to the permanent documentation.
To spam protect email addresses in the user profiles, add the following line to your template: config.spamProtectetEmailAddresses = 2. This will spam protect the email addresses in the profiles and maybe even in the posts. As of the next release, this will protect all the email addresses in the forum from spambots.
Using the forum for FAQs: some users have suggested that by granting read access to anyone and post access to a select group of editors, the forum could be used as an FAQ repository or knowledge base.
All bugs should now be reported on bugs.typo3.org in the tx_chcforum section. Registering for an account there is easy, and reporting bugs on the bugtracker is the best way to ensure that I fix them, because I will go through every bug before releasing a new version. Feature requests should also be made on the bugtracker -- just be sure to label it as a feature. If the feature is important to you, you might consider including a pledge to make a small donation in the request -- feature requests attached to pledges or donations will be implemented as quickly as possible (and those of you who have been following the development of the forum know that I tend to release often).
