Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Send A Private Message?
You can send a private message to a person by going to the person's profile and click "Send Private Message". This will take you to a form (like a new thread/reply form) and you can put in your subject and your message and click send.
How Do I Recover A Lost Password?
Next to the log in screen (to the right) you can see a button that says "Forgotten Your Password?". Click that and it will ask for your E-Mail address. If your E-Mail address matches the one in your profile it will send an E-Mail to your (and only your) E-Mail address with a password to your account.
Why Do I Receive E-Mails From The Forum?
You will occasionally get E-Mails from the forum. These are our Newsletters or other information regarding the forums. You can turn it off by going to your profile and click "Modify Profile" and where it says "Opt-In" change it to "Opt-Out" and you will no longer get E-Mails from the staff of the forums.
How Do I Modify My Profile?
First of all you need to go to your profile, you can do this by clicking your user name from anywhere in the forums or you can click the Profile button in the top Navigation Bar of the forums.
Why Can't I Reply Or Modify A Post In A Topic?
This will be due to a topic being Locked due to inappropriate content of that topic or if it is breaking rules. Unless it will be unlocked you won't be able to post in that topic again.
I See The Same Topic On Every Board, Why Is This?
You might see the same topic above all the other topics on every board. This is because a staff member has made it an announcement for everyone to see when they are looking through the boards.
I Can't Access My Account, Whats Going On?
You might not be able to access your account for several reasons but here is three of them. Your account has been banned for breaking the rules more than once, Your account has been deleted by accident or not following the rules or we currently have Maintenance Mode Enabled which means only staff will have access to the forums.
How Do I Get A Picture Next To The Title In The List Of Topics In A Board?
Under where you put the title of the Topic you have a drop down menu, from the list you can have different Emotes from Thumbs Down to a Lamp, from a Smiley to a Wink.
Nobody Is Replying To My Topic, But Why?
Not all people have the same interests as you so if you post something that they don't like then they probably wont post there. If you want lots of people to reply to a Topic then make the Topic interesting.
How Do I Know When I Have A New Personal Message?
If you go to your mailing system there is a button there that says 'Preferences' if you click it you can choose if you want an E-Mail notification or an Alert Box that will say the subject of the message and who sent the message, from this pop-up window you can either click 'OK' and go to the message straight away (automatically) or you can click 'Cancel' which will close the box and let you continue with what you were doing before. In the preference menu you can block people from contacting you by putting their user-name into the box, if you want to block more than one user put their name on a new line, you can also block everyone from PMing you by putting a '*' into the box.
