Need help changing my toolbar
Assuming you're using windows XP, that's the standard blue bar that appears at the top of every window - it's not related to Firefox and you can't use Firefox to theme it. To change the colours and styles of Windows XP, try Control Panel -> Display -> Appearance tab -> Advanced. Item = Active Title Bar, and then select the colours.

Who hosts this forum?
Okay.. there's a number of questions here. The forum is owned and paid for by Silverion. It's hosted by Superb Internet. And the software running the forum is Phpbb2.

tip it front page poll not clickable
Did you perhaps turn JavaScript off? If you did, there should be a bar at the top of the page (below the brown home/forum/chat/etc. bar) saying you've disabled it. See here for how to turn it back on again.

I need some help regarding firefox and runescape
Check your volume control and make sure that SW Synth is not muted. As for the lag/jumping .. nothing really you can do.. as long as you have the latest version of Sun Java?

Addictive random flash websites
Inappropriatelink.com? Never heard of it. Neither has google. Gah! Okay try http://www.google.com.au/search?q=the%20pirate%20song click the first result, then right click on the link and click "save link/target as" Oh by the way, you'd better beware - tip.it thinks the page is inappropriate!

General Guide: Lunar Magicks
In the spell table, the lvl 80 spell, "String jewellery" is misspelled :) dogfever:1/8: We are using the american spelling here. I can't remember why but the decision has been made. Thanks though. [pokemama 16 Nov: actually it's for a reason. Jagex uses the American spelling on the actual spell menu interfaces, lol. So we match that.]

GET RID of this ANNOYING advertisement!
Even if you pay for it, I very much doubt it would go away. Firefox + Flashblock. Tip.it relies on advertising revenue to survive, but I do not agree with having my browsing interrupted by sound and CPU-consuming flash.

General Guide: Beers & Wines
Defence is misspelled as defense a number of times :)

Atlas: World & Wild
Just go to both maps seperately. Doing them this way saves a lot of bandwidth for people who only want to look at a small part of the map. Corrections: Under "how to use" Also click on a quest icon to see it's guide. should be "its" Treasure The title attribute can have a space instead of an underscore. Mine Village

The Smiley Ads
Firefox + Flashblock I'm cool with text and image based ads. Sound and CPU-eating flash are out though.

Topic Watching
http://forum.tip.it/profile.php?mode=editprofile Set "Always notify me of replies" to "no" That way the default is not to notify you, but you can still tell it to for individual topics if you so desire.

phpBB3 Olympus?
As Cruiser says, you won't have to re-register or any of that. In the final release (and probably for some of the later betas, so it can be tested,) they'll provide an upgrade path. I reckon you're best upgrading after the first 2 or 3 security/stability releases (not before, as only so may people will test the betas and release candidates, and this is a BIG forum) (not after either, phpbb3 is going to be far more awesome than 2, and eventually they'll stop maintaining the 2.x branch and people will discover vulnerabilities (every piece of software more complex than hello world has vulnerabilities) and yeah, very unwise to use.) Advantages/reasons for upgrading: http://area51.phpbb.com/docs/features.html I can see plenty of great things in there :)

Good firefox add-ons
If you use webmail, webmailcompose is awesome. Gmail notifier, Yahoo notifier, etc. depending on your particular service. Delicious Delicacies is a must have! :D BBCodeXtra is great for inserting BBCode (and x/html) with the context menu. As already mentioned, Flashblock is great (I disagree with adblock because many sites (ie. tip.it) rely on advertising revenue to survive) Imagebot is one I love for uploading lots of images to imageshack. The list goes on, there are loads of extensions which are great for speicifc purposes - website integration, web development, etc. I won't talk about themes since it's far more related to opinion and how you like your art.

Providing a link on the Forum home page.
It's a little more complicated than stuff just "expiring" You'd have to get an admin to find out what exactly happens to various old stuff.

Offensive/annoying signatures?
FWIW, I'm not religious, but I wouldn't have a problem with a non-preaching "I'm a buddhist" in other peoples' signatures.

Take off the report flood control!
I find I just go and read something and come back to the tab later. It's a pain but not a big deal.

The Help & Advice Stickies
I like that, although I'm not too sure about the all caps stuff - I'm not a big fan of doing things that we really want to discourage users from doing.
