This is a topic for people who would like to ask questions about how the board works. I cannot guarantee that I can answer them, but hopefully between us all we can find the answers.
Please feel free to post either questions or responses in this thread. Thanks!
Important difference here from our recent abode at hyperboards:
When sending PM's here, you will need to CHECK the box at the bottom of the message if you wish to retain a copy of the sent message in your own mailbox. It doesn't do it automatically the way we're used to.
You can change the default settings on your own PM box to automatically retain sent messages, if you prefer.
There is also an option in your control panel to save all sent messages.
Profile>Modify Profile>Personal Messaging
Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default ✓
What is this "block" feature and how does it work?
Under your account, choose Profile--> modify profile--> buddy/ignore list
You can add a member to the "ignore" list, and then that member's posts (and PM's) are "invisible" to you.
For an example, I've added SilverLining to my "ignore" list temporarily and snapped a screenshot of a thread to demonstrate what a member's posts look like if I'm "ignoring" him/her:
somehow I got logged out, I cant remember password.
or the one I remember is wrong
i have been sent the "set new password" email twice but the link takes me right back to wrong page...
so confusing.

Hi Scout, sorry you're having trouble. Please email me so that I have a private way to communicate with you if I need to reset your password or something. Also, if you could include the link you've been getting I'll look into that, too. :)

Hi. I am brand new to your forum. I posted my introduction on the correct thread but I did not enter on the bottom, where I am from and other allergies . I noticed that all the other entries have this. Can I get back onto my original post? Also, on the pages where people can write their concerns and questions....how do I post there? So many question....so many hives! Really appreciate your help! Paula Deryens from Richmknd, Virginia.
Welcome! :bye:
To add a signature to your post, follow these steps:
Hover over the button that says Profile (it's above the green box at the top of the page)
Choose Forum Profile
from there you can modify your signature to show location, allergies, etc.
To modify a post you've made, go to the post and in the top section of that post should be a button that says modify. Make any changes and then click save at the bottom.
In other areas of the board, you post just as you did here. If you don't see a topic you want to post in, you can start a new one by clicking New Topic at the top of the list of topics in that section.
Thank you!
Would it be possible to explain how to post a photo? I could use some very basic assistance, for example, how to use photobucket for this purpose.
This is how I do it, there may be an easier way...
Once you have the picture loaded on photobucket, off to the right side should be list called "links to share".
Copy the "IMG" link
It will end up with [ ] with URL info sandwiching the [ ] img part, which you can see before you post it
(http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu281/hezzier/IMG_1902.jpg) (http://s656.photobucket.com/user/hezzier/media/IMG_1902.jpg.html)
Then delete the part in front of the [ ] with IMG and after the [ ] with img
So it should work and end up like this
(http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu281/hezzier/IMG_1902.jpg)
This is not a good explanation, but when I hit post, what I wanted you to see disappears into a link.
Thank you very much, Hezzier. I'll give it a whirl.
And that's a very sweet dog. :)
I like him best when he's sleeping!
If you have trouble, one of the mods can always go in and fix your link.
There seems to be issues with some of the board functions/icons like the quote button & the evil smiley.

:evil:
They seem to be working for me.
It's back to normal for me now ... my :evil: was where my quote button was supposed to be & if I clicked on the evil smiley, I got a quote instead.
Maybe my quotes have been evil lately? :evil:
Strange.

Lol.
More likely the powers that be were doing some tweeking.
Hi, New on this site. Every time I want to post something or reply do I need to go through the routine of verification, every single time? because I can understand that when you first log on, but not constantly, have I got that wrong, I hope so as most people have not got the time to fill in three different questions before even posting anything...

To deter spammers from hitting in the middle of the night and making tons of posts, we have it set to verify for a certain number of posts, but it should be just a verification - not the security questions. Most spammers don't have time to mess with it. Once you reach that number (it's pretty low, I promise!), it'll no longer happen.
I will go into settings, though, and see if something was accidentally clicked that added the security questions to the post verification process.
ETA: I looked into the settings and there is no longer a way to separate the verification from the two security questions - sorry!
