| Do I have to register? Can I add HTML to my messages? What are moderators? How can I change my registration profile? Are cookies used? Can I search? What do I do if I lost my login ID and/or password? What are posting icons? Registering Registration is required if you plan to post new topics or reply to existing topics. Registration is free, and you are not required to post your real name. You are required to post your actual email address, however. Using HTML You may be able to use HTML in your posts, if your administrators and moderators have those options turned on for each forum. Some forums may have HTML turned off. Only your message board's leaders can set this. Every time you post a new note, you will be told whether HTML is enabled for that particular forum. If HTML is on, you may use any HTML tags, but please be very careful that you use proper HTML syntax. If you do not, your moderator or administrator may have to edit your post. Moderators Moderators control individual forums. They can edit, delete, or prune any posts in their forums. If you have a question about a particular forum, you should direct it to your forum moderator. Changing Your Profile You may easily change any info stored in your registration profile, using the "My Profile" link located near the top of each page. You must be logged in in order to update your profile. Cookies This bulletin board uses cookies to store the following information: the last time you logged in, your login identification. These cookies are stored on your browser. Cookies are not used to track your movement or perform any function other than to enhance your use of the message board. If your browser does not support cookies, or you have not enabled cookies on your browser, many of these time-saving features will not work properly and you will not be able to post new messages. Searching For Specific Posts You may search for specific posts based on a word or words found in the posts, by a particular registered member or by forum. Just click on the "search" link at the top of most pages. Lost Login ID and/or Password Retrieving your login ID and password is simple. All of the pages that require you to identify yourself with your username and password carry a "lost password" link that you can use to have your username and password emailed instantly to your email address of record. What are icons? Depending on the configuration of your forums, you may be able to associate an icon with each post that you make. There are currently 20 icons, each expressing a different emotion or identification. These icons range from a simple note to sadness to warning some are just for fun. These icons appear next to each topic in a forum listing and on each post. |
