Re: FAQ's
Registration & Login Issues
Why do I need to register?
Very little of our forum is open to guests, logging in opens up all the other areas to view and post. You can see our list of members and private message them.
Why can’t I register?
You shouldn't be having problems registering with us. Perhaps a forum administrator could have banned your IP address or disallowed the username you are attempting to register.
Why can’t I login?
We assume you have already registered with us. If so, there are several reasons why this could occur. First, ensure your username and password are correct. If they are, contact a forum administrator to make sure you haven’t been banned. It is also possible the website owner has a configuration error on their end, and they would need to fix it.
I’ve lost my password!
Don’t panic! While your password cannot be retrieved, it can easily be reset. Visit the login page and click I forgot my password. Follow the instructions and you should be able to log in again shortly.
However, if you are not able to reset your password, contact a forum administrator.
Why do I get logged off automatically?
If you do not check the 'Remember me' box when you login, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the 'Remember me' box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university computer lab, etc.
I registered in the past but cannot login any more?!
An administrator may have deactivated or deleted your account for some reason. Also, many forums periodically remove users who have not posted for a long time to reduce the size of the database. If this has happened, try registering again and being more involved in discussions.
What does the “Delete cookies” do?
“Delete cookies” deletes the cookies created by phpBB (the forums software) which keep you authenticated and logged into the board. Cookies also provide functions such as read tracking if they have been enabled by a forum administrator. If you are having login or logout problems, deleting board cookies may help.

Re: FAQ's
Posting Issues
Visit our Posting Guide for more help/information.
How do I create a new topic or post a reply?
To post a new topic in a board, click "New Topic". To post a reply to a topic, click "Post Reply". You may need to register before you can post a message. A list of your permissions in each board is available at the bottom of the board and topic pages. Example: You can post new topics, You can reply to topics, etc.
How do I edit or delete a post?
Unless you are a forum administrator or moderator, you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post by clicking the edit button (looks like a pencil in the top right of your post) for the relevant post, sometimes for only a limited time after the post was made. If someone has already replied to the post, you will find a small piece of text output below the post when you return to the topic which lists the number of times you edited it along with the date and time. This will only appear if someone has made a reply; it will not appear if a moderator or administrator edited the post, though they may leave a note as to why they’ve edited the post at their own discretion. Please note that normal users cannot delete a post once someone has replied.
How do I add a signature to my post?
To add a signature to a post you must first create one via your User Control Panel. Once created, you can check the Attach a signature box on the posting form to add your signature. You can also add a signature by default to all your posts by selecting 'Yes' in the User Control Panel. (Under 'Board preferences' - 'Edit posting defaults') If you do so, you can still prevent a signature from being added to individual posts by un-checking the add signature box within the posting form.
How do I create a poll?
When posting a new topic or editing the first post of a topic, click the “Poll creation” tab below the main posting form; if you cannot see this, you do not have appropriate permissions to create polls. Enter a title and at least two options in the appropriate fields, making sure each option is on a separate line in the textarea. You can also set the number of options users may select during voting under “Options per user”, a time limit in days for the poll (0 for infinite duration) and lastly the option to allow users to amend their votes.
Why can’t I add more poll options?
The limit for poll options is set by the forum administrator. If you feel you need to add more options to your poll than the allowed amount, contact the forum administrator.
How do I edit or delete a poll?
As with posts, polls can only be edited by the original poster, a moderator or an administrator. To edit a poll, click to edit the first post in the topic; (the button looks like a pencil) this always has the poll associated with it. If no one has cast a vote, users can delete the poll or edit any poll option. However, if members have already placed votes, only moderators or administrators can edit or delete it. This prevents the poll’s options from being changed mid-way through a poll.
Why can’t I add attachments?
Attachment permissions are granted on a per forum, per group, or per user basis. The forum administrator may not have allowed attachments to be added for the specific area you are posting in, or perhaps only certain groups can post attachments. Contact the forum administrator if you are unsure about why you are unable to add attachments.
Why did I receive a warning?
Each forum administrator has their own set of rules. If you have broken a rule, you may be issued a warning. You should receive a private message about any warnings. If you didn't receive one, contact the forum administrator if you are unsure about why you were issued a warning.
How can I report posts to a staff member?
If the forum administrator has allowed it, you should see a button for reporting posts next to the post you wish to report. Clicking this will walk you through the steps necessary to report the post.
What is the “Save” button for in topic posting?
This allows you to save drafts to be completed and submitted at a later date. To reload a saved draft, visit the User Control Panel.
Why does my post need to be approved?
The forum administrator may have decided that posts in the board/area you are posting require review before submission. It is also possible that the administrator has placed you in a group of users whose posts require review before submission.
How do I bump my topic?
By clicking the “Bump topic” link when you are viewing it, you can “bump” the topic to the top of the forum on the first page. However, if you do not see this, then topic bumping may be disabled or the time allowance between bumps has not yet been reached. It is also possible to bump the topic simply by replying to it.
How do I create a new topic or post a reply?
To post a new topic in a board, click "New Topic". To post a reply to a topic, click "Post Reply". You may need to register before you can post a message.

Re: FAQ's
Formatting & Topic Types
What is BBCode?
BBCode is a special code used on forums and is what enables users to insert images or links, bold their text etc. The use of BBCode is granted by the administrator, but it can also be disabled on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML, but tags are enclosed in square brackets [ and ] rather than < and >. Visit our BBCode Guide for more help/information.
Can I use HTML?
No. It is not possible to post HTML on this forum and have it rendered as HTML. Most formatting which can be carried out using HTML can be applied using BBCode instead if the forum administrator has added it to the list.
What are Smilies?
Smilies, or Emoticons, are small images which can be used to express a feeling using a short code, e.g.
denotes happy, while 
denotes sad. The full list of emoticons can be seen in the posting form on the right-hand side. Try not to overuse smilies, however, as they can quickly render a post unreadable and an administrator or moderator may edit them out or remove the post altogether. The forum administrator may also have set a limit to the number of smilies you may use within a post.
Can I post images?
Yes, images can be shown in your posts. If the administrator has allowed attachments, you may be able to upload the image to the board. Otherwise, you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor images stored behind authentication mechanisms, e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use the BBCode [img] tag, it appears as a picture when posting.
What are announcements?
Announcements often contain important information for the forum you are currently reading and you should read them whenever possible. Announcements appear at the top of every page in the board to which they are posted. Announcement permissions are granted by the forum administrator.
What are sticky topics?
Sticky topics within the forum appear below announcements and only on the first page. They are often quite important so you should read them whenever possible. As with announcements, sticky topic permissions are granted by the forum administrator.
What are locked topics?
Locked topics are topics where users can no longer reply and any poll it contained was automatically ended. Topics may be locked for many reasons and were set this way by either the forum moderator or forum administrator. You may also be able to lock your own topics depending on the permissions you are granted by the forum administrator.
What are topic icons?
Topic icons are author-chosen images associated with posts to indicate their content. The ability to use topic icons depends on the permissions set by the forum administrator.

They may also have full moderator capabilities in all forums, depending on the settings put forth by the forum founder.
What are moderators?
Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) who look after the forum from day to day. They have the authority to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the board/s they moderate. Generally, moderators are present to prevent users from going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material.
Can I become a moderator?
If you are interested in becoming a moderator to help look after our forum you will have to contact the forum administrator.

Please note you can only join those usergroups that are open, you can not join the administrator or moderator usergroups.
Why do some usergroups appear in a different colour?
We have assigned a colour to the members of each usergroup to make it easy to identify the members of this group.
What is a “Default usergroup”?
If you are a member of more than one usergroup, your default is used to determine which group colour and group rank should be shown for you by default. The forum administrator may permit you to change your default usergroup via your User Control Panel. Usually, most members default usergroup is the open one they have joint that showcases which condition/s they have or if they are a carer/family/friend of a member.
What are ranks?
Ranks are what enable administrators to give usergroups an image under their username. The image is that of a ribbon and some text. The colour of the ribbon and the text will change depending on what usergroup you are a member of.
