Site Useage

Administrators are people assigned the highest level of control over the entire site. These people can control all facets of the site operation which include setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc. They also have full moderator capabilities in all the forums.

If you keep receiving unwanted private messages from someone, inform the forum administrator -- they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages at all.

We have provided the features we feel would be of most benefit to our users. Whilst we are always developing new features it isn't always possible to include everything.

If there is a feature you would particularly like to see please contact us and we will consider it for inclusion.

There may be two images below a username when viewing posts. The first is an image associated with your rank; generally these take the form of stars or blocks indicating how many posts you have made or your status on the forums. Below this may be a larger image known as an avatar; this is generally unique or personal to each user. You can change your avatar via the My Account link.

All your settings (if you are registered) are stored in the database. To alter them click the My Account link (generally shown on the left of pages but this may not be the case). This will allow you to change all your settings.

Don't panic! While your password cannot be retrieved it can be reset. To do this go to the login page and click I've forgotten my password. Follow the instructions and you should be back online in no time.

Have you registered? Seriously, you must register in order to log in. Have you been banned from the forum? (A message will be displayed if you have.) If so, you should contact the webmaster or forum administrator to find out why. If you have registered and are not banned and you still cannot log in then check and double-check your username and password. Usually this is the problem; if not, contact the forum administrator -- they may have incorrect configuration settings for the forum.

We do not allow users to change their username themselves. Users should think carefully before choosing. If you are really unhappy with your current name or have any personal or security reasons why you wish to change please contact us and we will assist.
