[Registration]
Depending on how this board is set up, you may have to register to post in certain forums. Registering will also 'reserve' your chosen name so no other registered user can post with the same name as you. To register, simply click on the 'Register' link at the top of the board. Fill in the simple form and you'll be informed whether the board administrator wishes to verify your email address.
[Posting]
Posting refers to either starting a new topic of conversation, or replying to an existing topic of conversation. To reply, simply click on the 'add new reply' button at the top of the page and enter your message into the form. If you get an error informing you that you cannot post in that forum, then check to make sure you are registered and logged in as the board administrator may have restricted posting permission for guests in that forum. The same steps apply for starting a new topic of conversation.
[Logging In]
If you are registered, you may be prompted to log in. This will ask you for the username and password that you specified upon registration. This will allow you access to your members account and your Control Panel. Until you log in, you are treated as a guest.
To log in, simply click on the 'Log In' link at the top of the page and enter your account details. If you wish to store a copy of your member ID and encrypted password in a 'cookie' then choose the amount of time from the radio buttons before submitting the form. This will then automatically log you in when you return. If you are using a shared computer such as one in an internet cafe, we recommend that you don't store your account details in cookies for security purposes.
[Logging Out]
Before you leave the board, you may wish to log out. This will terminate your session and remove the member ID and password cookies from your computer. We recommend you do this if you are using a shared computer.
[Your Control Panel: Account Overview]
This provides you with a summary of your account and also has a quick guide to the various sections in the control panel.

The topic tracker provides you with information on the topics that you are subscribed to (See Topic Subscriptions). You can view the topics, delete the subscription or just check on the topic status.
[Your Control Panel: Personal Information]
This help topic covers both parts of this feature.
> Personal Profile
This profile is viewable by other members of the board. It's allows you to enter any contact information you wish to share with the other members. You may choose to 'hide' your email address from the other members. The board administrator may have chosen to use an 'email form' for other members to contact you. This allows your email address to remain private whilst allowing other members to contact you.
Your signature is automatically appended to every post you make (unless you specify to not add the signature when posting). It works much like an 'email' signature.

Here you can set an 'avatar' to that is displayed under your username when you post a message. You can either choose from the pre-installed selection, or enter a URL for an avatar you have uploaded on your server.
