Hello people!
I have had a few E mails asking how to use the message board so i thought i would post and show you all where to start!!
First things first you need to register ... click on the 'register' link at the very top of the board. Fill in your detail like user name and then your pass work will be sent to you. Its importent that you use a REAL E mail address becasue if you dont you wont be able to get hold of your password.
Once you have logged in by useing the 'log in' link at the top of the screen your ready to start posting and reading!! You can read in any of the room's. You need to click on the link to get you in to the room then click on the topic you want to read about.
There are a few types of topics, if it has a red dot on it that mean's its 'sticky' so it will never go away untill i unstick it! It normaly means its importent or somthing that every one should see.
If the topic has a lock on it that means you can only read it you cant reply to it.
If it has a bar chart next to it, its a poll ... only members can vote on polls ... so go in and see what its about!!
What all the buttons mean -
This is the delete button, so if you wrote a reply and dont like it you can get rid of it!
This takes you to the help topics so you can have a read though and try to work out where your going wrong! (Although if you have any problems i can normaly work em out for you so just E mail me!)
