That depends on the board settings because administrators can change the settings so that you have to be registered to view posts. You also usually have to be registered to reply and start new posts but this does depend on the board settings. To register click here.

It is advised that you register so you can receive e-mails from the administrator.

Yes. This board uses cookies to store your login information, last visit, and threads that you have visited. We do this to make it easier for you so you can see which posts contain new replies and so you do not have to enter your username and password when posting or other certain things.

If you logout, your cookies will be cleared. To logout click here.

To add a signature to your posts you have to log into your profile and insert into the signature text box the signature you wish to use.

BB Code and HTML maybe turned off or on. This can effect what you can insert into your signature.

Again in your profile there is a place for an ‘Avatar’ and avatar is the image under your name. Check with your Admin about the size of your avatar, it’s usually considered common courtesy to use one under 150 pixels wide.

If you have forgotten your password, do not worry. Head over to the lost password section and fill in the form and your password will be e-mailed to you.

U2U means User to User. It is a simple messaging client that you can use to send messages to fellow members on this board. You can check your U2U inbox by clicking here or going to your profile.

The board administrator might have disabled this function for certain users.

There is a button that says ‘Login’ in the menu at the top, clicking this button will take you to the login page, where you can login. Here you simply input your username, and your password, click the login button, and that’s it!

You can logout by clicking Logout at the top of the page. When you logout the cookies that store your username and password will be removed and you will become a Guest or Anonymous user.

By clicking on the ‘Search’ button in the menu. Then inputting what you wish to search for, you can restrict where you search with the drop down lists.

First click on the U2U button in the menu, another smaller window will pop-up, from there you can access the ‘Send a U2U’ screen, by clicking on it at the top. Place the user’s name in the ‘To’ field, and then insert a subject and a message and click ‘Send’.

You can view all the members by clicking on the Members List button in the menu.

Most of the time the answer is no, but ask your Admin.

Based on the number of posts you have, you are assigned to a rank. Each rank has its own status and its own amount of stars. Below are the user rank settings for this board:

When inside of a forum, clicking on ‘Post new Topic’ or the image that represents that, will allow you to post. You need to fill in your information, a topic and a message, then click on the ‘Post New Topic’ button.

Yes, this is done the same as posting a new one, except that you must be in a Topic, and you need to click ‘Post Reply’ instead of ‘Post new Topic’.

Yes, click the ‘Edit’ button on one of your own topics, and then select the ‘! Delete this message !’ check box, and click ‘Edit Post’. You can not delete a post if it is the first post in the thread.

You can edit a post by clicking on the ‘Edit Post’ button above your message. You can only edit your own posts and sometimes this feature is disabled.

Yes you can insert an attachment with any of your posts. The file size of the attachment must be under 1 Megabyte for it to be accepted. You can attach a file on the New Post and Post Reply pages with the upload field.

Smilies are the little faces to the right of the input for message. They display graphical faces instead of simply a 🙂.
Here is a list of current supported smilies:

You can create a poll by visiting the forum you want to post the poll in and click on Start Poll. The screen following after you click the button is just like a normal new thread page but has an extra box for Poll Answers. You should enter one answer per line.

You can vote on polls in threads by visiting the thread with the poll in it and selecting the option you want to vote for, then clicking the submit button. You can only vote on a poll once, so once you vote, you cant change your mind.

The Administrator could have disabled this option for each forum.
