Also; is there a search function in the forums? I've gone through about 5 pages worth of topics and haven't found a single thing on this, or the issues I'm having, lol. Help please?

Have a look at this topic: http://textadventures.co.uk/forum/site/topic/6413/upcoming-changes-to-the-forums

see here (this forum uses the 'markdown' language):
