Here is Basic Forum Information that will hopefully minimize basic need to know questions. If you do have a question about how to use the forum or the forum in general please post it under the sub category "General Questions" and I will try my best to promptly respond. If you have a suggestion or comment about the forum please post it under the Board "Suggestions/Comments".
1. In order to see all of the Forum Subjects and access all of the boards you must register to be a member of the Forum.
2. Whatever name you pick as a user name...it cannot be one that is already taken by another member. I strongly discourage the use of a real First AND Last name.
3. Once you register to become a member, the Forum Administrator has to approve your registration for you to become a member. You will receive a registration message once we have received your registration.
4. Once you are approved to become a member you must log in to the forum, you will receive a welcome pm from Administration welcoming you to the Forum.
5. When you become a new member to the forum please take a few minutes to read the subjects in the Forum Business section, specifically General Information about the Forum and the Forum Guidelines and Rules. This should answer any questions you have, generally speaking. If it does not please feel free to ask any questions about the forum in the "General Questions" sub category.
6. Each member has a member profile on this forum, this displays your avatar (user pic), name, where you are from, birth date (if you choose), email (if you choose), gender, and personal comments (about yourself).
7. If you choose to add your birth date it will automatically go on the Forum Calendar.
8. Everyone who joins the Forum (except for the Staff) starts out on a Greenie point level 0-25 posts, this means you are a new member...you move up in rank the more you participate and post on the forum.
9. You do have a pm box where other members can send you a private message and vice versa.
10. The Shoutbox at the bottom of the Forum is a publicly viewed chat session.
11. To create a new thread or post in something, hit the "Create New Thread" button.
12. To reply to a thread someone has posted, hit the "Reply" button.
13. To reply to something specific a person has said/to quote what they said, hit the "Quote" button.
14. If something you post needs to be moved to another section we will let you know and we will move it.
15. The Staff on the forum are as follows...Druid - (People who can help you with questions and around the forum, direct you to a moderator or administrator if need be).. Moderator - (People who watch the Forum and the Members, Think of them as chaperones...they can help you and they have the power to ban you if necessary.) Administrator - (God).
