Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to log in? What are the benefits of logging in?
First, you do not have to ever log in to use the boards. But, logging in is required to post and free and can help you fully exploit the power of the message boards.

To log in, select "Login" at the top of the message board. Enter your name and password. If you haven't previously logged in, please select "Register" after entering your name and password. By selecting "Remember your password", you will not have to log in ever again! You will be automatically logged in. This is the recommended option.

Logging in will enable the following features:

  • Your name or email address will be automatically filled in when posting messages.
  • You are allowed to edit messages you have posted while logged in. Here's how, login, go to the message you wish to edit, pick the edit link on the message.
  • Messages you have not yet read will have the word new next to them.
  • While logged in, select the [USER] Profile link (located next to the login link) to modify your account information. Create a signature line for all your messages!
  • A few others I'm probably forgetting. Try it!
How do I edit my message?
If you didn't log in before posting your message, you cannot edit any messages. By logging in before posting, you'll be able to edit the message later. You can edit by selecting the [EDIT] menu option at the bottom of your message.
How do I remove my message?
Only the board administrator can remove messages. It is suggested you preview your message before posting and try editing the message first. If your message still needs to be removed, please send a note to the administrator.
How do I send the poster e-mail if I don't know her address?
At the base of every message is a menu bar of links. One of these is [SEND EMAIL]. If the poster specified a valid email address when they posted their message, you only have to click on the link to send them email. There will be cases where a poster forgets or makes a typo in their email address. In these cases, please respond to the individual's message in the forum.
I've changed my email address. How do I update my account?
To modify your account, you must be logged into the board. Once logged in, select [USER] Profile (located next to the login link) under the forums menu. To change your email address, select Modify your account information and press Submit. Change your address and press Submit once again.
How do I know if somebody has responded to my message?
When you post your message, select "Check if you want to receive email when a new message is posted to this thread?" to receive email anytime anybody responds to your message in the forum. (It is suggested not to check that on other people's feedback pages since those pages do not become old and end). Another way is simply visiting the forum and looking :-)
Where did my message go? It was there last week!
Due to space limitations and the dated content of most messages, messages may disappear after a week or two. Newer messages are always displayed first in the forum. As messages grow older, they'll slowly move down the page and onto the second page of the forum.

You can select which page you want to view by selecting the numbers at the top of the forums. Usually, you will be viewing page 1. Selecting 2 will take you to page 2. When messages grow so old, they are automatically deleted and lost forever.

Why aren't there any new messages today?
There will only be new messages when you, the reader, takes the time to post! The forums are what you make them!
