| Posting new topics and replying |
|
There are two different posting screens available. The new topic button,
visible in forums and in topics allows you to add a new topic to that
particular forum. When viewing a topic, there will be an add reply button,
allowing you to add a new reply onto that particular topic.
On the left of the text entry box, there is the clickable emoticons box - you
can click on these to add them to the content of your message (these are
sometimes known as 'smilies').
There is options available when making a post or a reply. 'Enable
signature?' allows you to choose whether or not you would like your signature
to appear on that individual post.
You also have the option to choose a post icon for the topic/post when creating
one. This icon will appear next to the topic name on the topic listing in that
forum, or will appear next to the date/time of the message if making a reply to
a topic.

| User Profile |
|
Your UserProfile is your own private board console. You can change how the
board looks and feels as well as your own information from here.
Edit Profile Info
This section allows you to add or edit your contact information and enter some
personal information if you choose.
Edit Signature
A board 'signature' is very similar to an email signature. This signature is
attached to the foot of every message you post unless you choose to check the
box that allows you to ommit the signature in the message you are posting. You
may use BB Code if available and in some cases, pure HTML (if the board
administrator allows it).
Edit Icon Settings
An avatar is a little image that appears under your username when you view a
topic or post you authored. If the administrator allows, you may either choose
from the board gallery, enter a URL to an avatar stored on your server or
upload an avatar to use. You may also set the width of the avatar to ensure
that it's sized in proportion.
Change Password
You may change your password from this section. Please note that you will need
to know your current password before you can change your password.

| Member List |
The member list, accessed via the 'Members' link at the top of each page, is
basically a listing of all of the members that have registered on the
board.
If you are looking to search for a particular member by all/part of their
username, then in the drop down box at the bottom of the page, change the
selection from 'Search All Available' to 'Name Begins With' or 'Name Contains'
and input all/part of their name in the text input field and press the 'Go!'
button.
Also, at the bottom of the member list page, there are a number of sorting
options available to alter the way in which the list is displayed.
