LOGGING IN/ OUT If you have chosen not to remember your log in details in cookies, or you are accessing the board on another computer, you will need to log into the board to access your member profile and post with your registered name. When you log in, you have the choice to save cookies that will log you in automatically when you return. Do not use this option on a shared computer for security. You can also choose to hide - this will keep your name from appearing in the active users list. Logging out is simply a matter of clicking on the 'Log Out' link that is displayed when you are logged in. If you find that you are not logged out, you may need to manually remove your cookies. See the 'Cookies' help file for more information. Registering is great To be able to use all the features on this board, the administrator will probably require that you register for a member account. Registration is free and only takes a moment to complete. During registration, the adminstrator requires that you supply a valid email address. This is important as the administrator may require that you validate your registration via an email. If this is the case, you will be notified when registering. In some cases, the administrator will need to approve your registration before you can use your member account fully. If this is the case you will be notified during registration. Once you have registered and logged in, you will have access to your personal messenger and your control panel. For more information on these items, please see the relevant sections in this documentation Personaly message Your Personal Messenger Your personal messenger acts much like an email account in that you can send and receive messages and store messages in folders. Send a new PM This will allow you to send a message to another member. If you have names in your contact list, you can choose a name from it - or you may choose to enter a name in the relevant form field. This will be automatically filled in if you clicked a 'PM' button on the board (from the memberlist or a post). If the administrator allows, you may use BB Code and HTML in your personal message. If you choose to check the 'Add a copy of this message to you sent items folder' box, a copy of the message will be saved for you for later reference. If you check the 'Get notified when this message is read' box, you will receive a PM informing you when the message was read for your records. Contact List You may add in users names in this section, or edit any saved entries. You can also use this as a ban list, denying the named member the ability to message you. Names entered in this section will appear in the drop down list when sending a new PM, allowing you to quickly choose the members name when sending a message. Edit Folders You may rename, add or remove folders to store messages is, allowing you to organise your messages to your preference. You cannot remove 'Sent Items' or 'Inbox'. Go to Inbox Your inbox is where all new messages are sent to. Clicking on the message title will show you the message in a similar format to the board topic view. You can also delete or move messages from your inbox. Archive Messages If your messenger folders are full and you are unable to receive new messages, you can archive them off. This compiles the messages into a single HTML page or Microsoft © Excel Format. This page is then emailed to your registered email address for your convenience. Your control panel is your own private board console. You can change how the board looks and feels as well as your own information from here. Edit Profile Info This section allows you to add or edit your contact information and enter some personal information if you choose. All of this information is optional and can be omitted. Edit Signature A board 'signature' is very similar to an email signature. This signature is attached to the foot of every message you post unless you choose to check the box that allows you to ommit the signature in the message you are posting. You may use BB Code if available and in some cases, pure HTML (if the board administrator allows it). Edit Avatar Settings An avatar is a little image that appears under your username when you view a topic or post you authored. If the administrator allows, you may either choose from the board gallery, enter a URL to an avatar stored on your server or upload an avatar to use. You may also set the width of the avatar to ensure that it's sized in proportion. Email Settings Hide my email address allows you to deny the ability for other users to send you an email from the board. Send me updates sent by the board administrator will allow the administrator to include your email address in any mailings they send out - this is used mostly for important updates and community information. Include a copy of the post when emailing me from a subscribed topic, this allows you to have the new post included in any reply to topic notifications. Board Settings From this section, you can set your timezone, choose to not see users signatures, avatars and posted images. You can choose to get a pop up window informing you when you have a new message and hide the long session ID in links (see the 'Cookies' help file for more infomation on this). Skins and Languages If available, you can choose a skin style and language choice. This affects how the board is displayed so you may wish to preview the skin before submitting the form. Change Email Address At any time, you can change the email address that is registered to your account. In some cases, you will need to revalidate your account after changing your email address. If this is the case, you will be notified before your email address change is processed. Change Password You may change your password from this section. Please note that you will need to know your current password before you can change your password. View Subsciptions This is where you manage your topic subscriptions. Please see the help file 'Email Notification of new messages' for more information on how to subscribe to topics. |
