I can't Log in?
Please ensure that your User ID and Password are both correct. If you have forgotten either of these details you can retrieve your User ID and/or reset your Password via the Reminder Page.
Do I need to register to contribute?
This depends on the Forum Configuration. The Adminstrator's may allow anonymous postings and anonymous suggestions/additions of new topics. Normally however, you will be required to register in order to contribute.
I can't remember my Password?
You can retrieve your User ID and/or reset your Password via the Reminder Page.
How do I change my Personal Details or Password?
You can change your personal details or password via the profile link which is available on the Forum pages once you've logged in. Note: changing your email address may temporarily suspend your account until the new email address has been confirmed.
How do I change the avitar image next to my posts?
The Forum uses avitar images from Gravitar (Globally Recognized Avitars). These images are associated with your email address and are uploaded on their website. Visit the Gravitar website for more information.
Can I edit my posts once submitted?
Only Adminstrators and Moderators can edit posts once they have been accepted on the system.
Can I use HTML in my posts?
Unfortunately HTML is not permitted in the Forum to protect all Forum Users from abuse.
What is a tripcode?
A tripcode is a hashed password which can be used by you to uniquely identify your anonymous contributions (if permitted by the Administrators). You enter your User ID followed by a hash symbol '#' and your secret password. This password then gets translated to a set of characters, e.g. name#tripcode becomes name!3GqYIJ3Obs on the system. This makes it hard for others to impersonate you as they won't know your secret password.
