Experiencing a Few Issues / Need Help With Postbit Code

[Hikarin]

Hi, I'm finally getting around to making my forum. I think it should be okay for public display in two months.... but first, I'm trying to get everything set up neatly and I don't know how since I'm new to php. Your help will be GREATLY appreciated!! I've searched for answers but I haven't been able to find them, so sorry if I just wasn't looking hard enough. Also, unfortunately, I've had to give up on a lot of mods and the like because after a while the creators don't seem to read their own threads any more.... disappointing.

I am really lost. >_<



1) The full url of my forums is www.mywebsite/forum/home.php but if I type in just www.mywebsite/forum/ like how I've seen done on other forums, it's a dead link and doesn't redirect to the forum home. How can I make this happen?

2) How can I edit the signature line to put in my own separator?

3) I used what I found in this thread to centre my user rank and avatar which I really like, but in the user profiles, ranks are still aligned to the left. How can I fix this?

4) I like what I've done so far for users with the postbit and I'll probably add more links to things when I get the chance (like FB, Twitter, YouTube etc.) but a noticeable problem that I foresee and can already see is that things are become too long. I want to perhaps have the option to hide and show the area I have selected in red. Can someone tell me how I can do this or another method?

5) I have Yet Another Award System enabled. What exactly's going on here? O_o

Any/all help will be appreciated more than you know whether the issues are resolved or not.
Thank you!
