Can I search the forum?
You can search for posts based on username, word(s) in the post or just in the subject, by date, and only in particular forums.
To access the search feature, click on the "search" link at the top of most pages.
You can search any forum that you have permission to search - you will not be allowed to search through private forums unless the administrator has given you the necessary security rights to do so.
What is Private Messaging?
Registered members can send each other private messages.
Private messages work a little like email, but are limited to registered members of this forum. You may be able to include BBCode, smilies and images in private messages that you send.
You may send a private message to a member of this forum by clicking the “INBOX” link on top of each page, and clicking on the “NEW MESSAGE” link in the left hand panel.
When you send a message, you have the option to save a copy of the message in your Outbox folder.
Private Message Folders
By default, you will have two folders in your private message area. These are the Inbox and the Outbox folders.
The Inbox folder contains all messages you receive - both new and old - along with the name of the person who sent the message to you, and the date and time the message was sent.
The Outbox folder contains a copy of messages that you have sent, if you have specified that you wish to keep a copy of the message for future reference.
Each folder has a set of message controls which allow you to select messages, then delete them completely. You may also have a button which allows you to forward multiple messages from a folder to another member of the forum.
You will need to periodically delete old messages, as the administrator has probably set a limit to the number of private messages you can have in your folders. If you exceed the number of messages specified by the administrator, you will not be able to send or receive new messages until you delete some old messages.
How Do I Use the Memberlist?
The memberlist contains a complete list of all the registered members of this forum. You can view the member list ordered alphabetically by username, by the date that the member joined the forum, or by the number of posts the members have made.
The member list also has a search function, which allows you to quickly locate members according to categories you specify, such as searching for all members who have joined in the past week, etc.
What are Announcements?
Announcements are special messages posted by the administrator or moderators. They are designed to be a simple one-way communication with all users. If you wish to discuss announcements, you will have to create a new thread in the forum, since you cannot reply to announcements.
