Why are you changing the message boards? The new boards offer a host of brilliant new features that are not possible on the old system. These include email notification when you receive a reply to one of your messages, search, easier posting and the option to ignore certain members if you wish to. What will happen to the old messages? We are transferring all our old messages to our new system. You will be able to read, search, print and bookmark old messages: however you wont be able to reply to archived messages.

Why do old discussions keep moving to the top of the board? Whenever someone replied to a message, the message instantly moves to the top of the board. This means that lively conversations stay near the top of the board. If you post a message but it doesn't get any replies, you can move it to the top of the list again by adding another message to it yourself.

What if I don't want my posts to be searchable? Messages posted on the Internet have never been private. Every day, thousands of lurkers read our messages boards and members should always be mindful of this when posting personal information. One way to protect your identity is to create a separate member name when you are discussing a sensitive issue.

Will I be able to edit or delete my messages after I have posted them? No, once a message has been submitted you will not be able to alter or delete it. Before posting, you will be able to 'preview' your message, so please make sure you are happy with it at that stage.

Why do I have to fill in a new profile? The new profile pages are integrated with the new board system. The good news is that the new profile page has lots of advanced features. When viewing another person's profile, you can automatically add him or her to your friends list or opt to ignore all messages by that member.

How do I get email notification? To receive notification that a message you have posted has received a reply go to board settings and tick the box next to E-mail Notification.

How do I change the time zone? To receive notification that a message you have posted has received a reply go to board settings and choose the correct time zone from the Time Zone drop down.

How do I get a personal icon to appear next to my name each time I post? To receive notification that a message you have posted has received a reply go to board settings > Personal Icon. Click, Change Icon. Select the icon you would like to use then tick the Use Personal Icon box.
