Just a quick question for the mods..... I only ask because I have accidentally almost done this a number of times.....
If I click on "Delete Account" under the "Modify Profile" page will it immediately delete my account and is there a way to get it back if that happens?
I'm going to try to not let that happen, but I just wanted to know in case I (or someone) did.

I'm pretty sure it will immediately delete it. You might get a popup to confirm.
There is no way that I'm aware of to get it back. I'm fairly certain you can re-register as that same name though afterwards.

It seems reasonable that an "are you sure??" message would appear before deleting your account... but I don't believe any of us have ever tested it (or want to). You can re-register with the same name though, and we could restore your post count if you knew it (and if it doesn't come back automatically). Just in case.

You could always make a quick new account and give it a try.

There is a warning message before the account is permanently deleted.

Type in "proboards smilies acna" or "proboards smilies "aurora club"" but without the quote marks... and click on some of the results... if there is "blah blah omitted" at the bottom, just click "display these" I just changed my mind.... It's not a bug... the only ones I can get in on are the "forum suggestions" category, which makes sense. However on other proboards I could get into more than that.

Yeah we did that on purpose (only allowing guests to post in this category), so non-members who are trying to register can still post and ask questions. As you said, other boards don't restrict guest posting but it does open them up to spam attacks.
