Basic Info
Registering
Registration is required if you plan to post new topics or reply to existing topics. It is free, and you are not required to post your real name. However, you are required to post your actual email address.

Changing Your Profile
You may easily change any info stored in your registration profile, using the "profile" link located near the top of each page. Simply identify yourself by typing your username and password and all of your profile information will appear on screen. You may change any items, except your username.

Editing Your Posts
You may edit your own posts at any time. Just go to the topic where the post to be edited is located and you will see an edit icon on the line that begins "Posted on..." Click on this icon to edit the post. No one else can edit your post, except for the forum Moderator or Administrator. A note is generated at the bottom of each post that is edited so that every one knows when a post has been edited.

Moderators
Moderators control individual forums. They can edit, delete, or prune any posts in their forums. If you have a question about a particular forum, you should direct it to your forum moderator.

Rank Structure
Moderators and Admins have set titles, all other registered members are assigned a rank dependent on the number of messages they have made. Spamming to raise your rank will result in an admin reducing your rank arbitarily. The Rank Structure is as follows:

  • Forum Staff:
    Administrators = Guardian
    Moderators = Watch Officer

  • Members:
    Newbie
    Grunt
    Patrol Corporal
    Platoon Leader
    Company Commander
    Captain of the Guard
    Highlander
    Clan Chief

Email Notification
If you create a new topic, you have the option of receiving an email notification every time someone posts a reply to your topic. Just check the email notification box when you add your post, if you want to use this feature.

Lost Password
Retrieving your password is simple. Go here and enter your Email and UserName to have your password emailed instantly to the email address recorded in your profile.

 

HTML & Formatting

Using HTML code
This forum does not allow html. But, there are other tags you can use to customize your posts.

Formatting Text
You can use the following codes to format the appearance of text in your posts:

Code Example Appearance
[b] [/b] This makes text [b]bold[/b]. This makes text bold.
[i] [/i] This makes text [i]italic[/i]. This makes text italic.
[green] [/green] [green]Green[/green] text. Green text.
[blue] [/blue] [blue]Blue[/blue] text. Blue text.
[gold] [/gold] [gold]Gold[/gold] text. Gold text.
[nut] [/nut] [nut]Nut[/nut] text. Nut text.
[red] [/red] [red]Red[/red] text. Red text.
[code] [/code] [code]This makes preformatted text.[/code] (good for posting long bits of code)

[quote] [/quote] [quote]This is for quoting text.[/quote] quote:

This is for quoting text.

Adding Images
To add an image use the [img] [/img] tags:

Example:
[img]http://www.roweb.co.uk/images/logo.gif[/img]

Creating Hyperlinks
You can easily add a hyperlink to your message by using the [url] [/url] tags. There are 2 methods of doing this:

Method 1 w/ description:
[url=http://www.roweb.co.uk]My webpage[/url] will appear as My webpage.

Method 2:
[url]http://www.roweb.co.uk/forum/[/url] will be shown as Click here.

In the same way you can add email links. The only different is having "mailto:" at the beginning of the address:

[url=mailto:feedback@www.roweb.co.uk]My email[/url] will appear as My email.

Smilies

You've probably seen these before or if you search this bulletin board you're sure to find them. Smilies are keyboard characters used to convey an emotion, such as a smile :) or a frown :(. This bulletin board automatically converts certain code to a graphic representation. For example, if you type [;)] in your message, it will automatically be converted to - a wink. The following smilies are currently supported by this forum:

Censoring Posts

The bulletin board administrators have the power to censor certain words that may be posted. This censoring is not an exact science, however, so certain words may be censored out of context. Please realize that the censoring, if any censoring is being performed, is being done by a computer based on the words that are being screened. Words that are censored are replaced with asterisks.

 

Cookies

These cookies are stored on your browser. Cookies are not used to track your movement or perform any function other than to enhance your use of the bulletin board. If your browser does not support cookies, or you have not enabled cookies on your browser, many of these time-saving features will not work properly.
