Hosted Forums
Hosted Forums are fully autonamous forums which are incorperated in the main site front page, they can be in their own category or just shown as single forums.. These forums can use the main members list, or have an entirely separate one.. They can also have their own Administrators and moderators if so required and have their own "individual" style.. |
|
Registering
Registration may be required if you plan to post new topics or reply to existing topics (depending on the particular forum you are using). Registration is free, and you are not required to post your real name. You are required to post your actual email address, however. |

Using
HTML and/or UBB Code
You may be able to use HTML and/or UBB Code in your posts, if your administrators and moderators have those options turned on for each forum. Some forums may have either HTML or UBB Code turned off, or both turned off. Only your Website's leaders can set this. Every time you post a new note, you will be told whether UBB Code and/or HTML is enabled for that particular forum. If HTML is on, you may use any HTML tags, but please be very careful that you use proper HTML syntax. If you do not, your moderator or administrator may have to edit your post. UBB Code is similar to HTML, but offers just a few basic functions, such as hyperlinking, image display, bolding and italicizing. A complete list of current UBB Codes are listed here. |

What
are icons or smilies?
Depending on the configuration of your forums, you may be able to associate an emoticon/smilie with each post that you make. There are currently 50 or so icons, each expressing a different emotion or identification. These icons range from a simple note to sadness to warning. They can appear next to each topic in a forum listing or in each individual post. If you do not see icons, your forum administrator may not be allowing icons on this particular forum.. To use emoticons either click on the one you want from the graphic block at the side of the posting box, or simply type in one of the standard type-in set..
