i've started to notice these php forums are like none i've ever used before. i might not be looking in the right place but, don't really see any documentation on how to navigate the forums. and i don't mean the sections of various chipset OEMs. like how the heck do you log in without clicking reply?



I see Home, Shop, Downloads, activation center at the top where i would see my name or login button on most forums.

the tab section a little lower down, reads boars FAQ, Search and member list. i do not see a login there either.

also i've noticed when sharing links by copying nad pasting the URL at the top of the page does NOT work and tends to stir up the locals. you MUST use the little paper icon




Why is it that DD-WRT forums are so unique different to the other forums i have used before? how were they designed or how did they come to be?

Login in is under Quick Links in the upper right hand corner.

I do not have any trouble copying and pasting the URL

How do you guys not get grief form the script kiddies? is it so old that known know how to find the griefing tools or whatever hackery? I know any projects i've been a part of always needed updates to stave off bots.

I read your comment, went to reply, and it was like the forum was DDoS'ed for 15-20+ minutes. What a coinkydink.
