Here are some Frequently Asked Questions.
How Do I register?
Simple! As long as the admin of the forum in question has signups enabled, simply press the "register" button on the forums toolbar.
Once there enter the information which you would like your account to contain, and then press register.
Once this has happened, you will be emailed an activation code.
This is done to validate your email address, and is only done once.
You can either click the link given in your email, or manually type the code in the box provided on the forum.
Once you have done this you will be registered for posting
Why Register?
There are many benefits to registering.
By registering, all posts you make will automatically have your account information filled in.
You will be able to see which posts are new (there will be a marker next to posts that says "NEW").
You can get email notification of replies to your posts.
You can send private messages to other members.
Also, no one will be able to post using your name (you can "secure" it so that no one else has it!).
There are many more reasons to register, but there are just too many to list. We strongly encourage you to register for any board you could potentially become active on.
My Activation Code doesn't work?
If you submitted a request for an activation key more than once, then a new key was generated which voided your old one. You will have to wait for your new key to arrive. Submitting extra requests for keys only slows down the process.
Invisibility?
All members can now become invisible!
Invisibility prevents your name from showing up on the online list, and prevents your status showing as "online" This allows you to navigate forums without other members knowing your actually there.
Administrators of the forums can still see you, but that is all.
To enable invisibility, select the option to be invisible from you're profile
Avatars?
Avatars are the image which displays in your profile which represents you.
In order to stop you adding a huge avatar which distorts the page, a 100x100 pixel limit has been set. This is the maximum limit for which the system will let you display avatars.
Karma?
Karma is basically a member rating system based on their actions.
If you feel a member has done something good, you would give them positive karma, if you feel they have done something bad, you give them negative.
This system either adds or subtracts 1 from the users karma count. This is only of course assuming the admin of the forum has enabled karma (in general settings in admin)
The exalt link gives the user positive karma, and the smite gives them negative
You are limited to 1 issue of karma each hour to avoid foul play
