From discuz2.5free start, the pen has been in use and concerns discuz forum system. Discuz progress very rapidly, particularly in strengthening the development team then, from discuz5.0 to 5.5 to 6.0 now will surprise every time.
For a software system, the degree of freedom is that users can set up and manage the level of humanity that is more convenient to use the system, more consistent with the user's habits and bring more good to the user experience. Of course, the system's user forums, including the establishment of the forum owners and forum members here. Discuz according to feedback from users in these two areas have been made. Click here first and said thanks!
After installing 6.0, the first feeling is that the interface has changed, the page cleaner, and the color is more clear, and more humanized. Page display speed has increased, according to the official presentation is to reconstruct the page templates and css, xhtml standards more in line, made a lot of code optimization. Here we look at the specific humanity and 6.0 in the user experience on what improvements were made:
1, the page displayed on the application of the more tab, the drop-down menu, these pages can be simple, to improve the user experience technologies.
Tab everywhere, convenient and intuitive.

The introduction of classified information to provide another kind of information indexing, also provide an alternative to our webmaster information management. The experience to be slow.
There are also worth noting that adding a "look at author" function button, you can clear view of the track on this post and extended the idea. While addressing a series of posts by others of "bursting" of the problem.

Improvements in the human there are many aspects to list here, no way, short to improve the user experience will increase the affinity of the Forum, the more opportunity for users through our forums to stay, I believe this is all the webmaster are willing to see.
Freedom
Next we look at the performance of 6.0 degrees of freedom, lack of space and time, I will cite a few representative examples, to see if we can be more free in the end the management and customize their forum.
1, register the file name, registration link text settings. We also remember our RI to escape the harassment, with a modified file name registration, and registration link text by way of the Minato was a very effective method. But there is a problem is to modify the file name at the same time, to modify the template in a lot of links to more trouble. 6.0 now modify the settings directly to the management integration in the background, let us or you have an easy and simple. Free! Ha ha
In the Basic Settings>> registration and access control where there is the option below
Figure 15
This feature with the 6.0 more powerful authentication code function, makes us more convenient to avoid RI trouble.
2, is invited to register functions enabled switch. Compatible with common registration function at the same time overwhelmed the webmaster for the invitation to provide a registration function. Free!

3, post the name of the order of the set and sequence set. Users are aware, we have a landlord, sofas, plates, etc., to refer to 1,2,3,4 House floor this habit. 6.0 came into being provides us with such a setting. You can customize the name of the floor. Very free, very personal Oh!

4, each forum section, "rights expression" set, unlimited access to extend the plate to set the degree of freedom.
Do you think that the traditional restrictions on the user group access to certain special plates are mechanical, not free. Because the user group level is defined by the points, so we actually set the number of points the user to access a plate before. While the total points through the formula to make some adjustments, but still can not meet certain special needs. For example sometimes we want a defined using our own extension points (eg: virtual gold, prestige, etc.) to restrict user access to a plate. It is not possible before, and now discuz6.0 provides us the perfect solution: "rights expression."
Forum Management>> Editors Forum>> point of a forum post editor. The bottom of the Settings page is set up privileges the expression, as below:
Figure 18
Here we not only set the user's extension points (eg: money, prestige) is greater than the number before they can access this section, users can even set the number of essential posts, made a number of posts, on-line long, the number of page views up before it can access the plate, very free, for us to manage the Forum a lot of room.
A plate so that we can access a more detailed arrangements and planning. Such as setting the number of contributions made by members of the forum to access the forum provided valuable information on how long to soak up the discussion to a plate and so on. And not rely on user groups as before to limit.
It is worth noting, however, permission is an expression with a combination with the user group settings, that can access this section of the user group, and in accordance with this, this expression can access this plate. As shown below, although on this user group settings can browse this section, but does not meet the prestige of> 10 this expression, which was refused.

This is a few more degrees of freedom represent the discuz6.0 Forum aspects of the system, but far from complete. We used to switch on the discuz set for the owners to provide such measures with deep feeling, experiencing the different needs of existing local discuz will set the switch for the webmasters to meet various needs. Columns mode switch, horizontal display switch, mini space switch, switch, etc. list goes on odd tiger search. These I think it is freedom of expression, freedom to inherit and carry forward the 6.0 has, discuz to practical stand webmaster's point of view, in this very encouraging.
More humane, better user experience, greater freedom to the majority of owners believe that discuz pursuit of our expectations using discuz the webmaster.
