This is quite handy if you want to try some of the forums features.
You can check your messages appearance without flooding the forum
with test postings.
Link
to your homepage:
You can set a link to your homepage or any other website that is
related to your message. To do so fill in "Link URL".
And you can give the link a name.
Add
an image to your message:
You can add any image (gif, jpeg) you want to your message. The
image can be located on any computer connected 24/7 to the Internet.
Just type in the complete URL to the image. Example:
http://www.yourdomain.com/palmtrees/brahea.jpg. Please keep in mind
that the image size should fit in our page.
Get
responses to your message e-mailed:
Check this option if you want to receive responses to your message
by e-mail. So no need anymore to check the forum daily just to see
if someone replied to your posting.
Search
the archive:
all messages and responses are stored in our archive. Use "search"
to check if your question has been answered or asked before.
Personalised
forum:
there are few basic features to make using the forum more comfortable:
- your name and e-mail address are remembered automatically so you
don't have to retype them every time you post a message.
- when you come back to the forum all new messages posted since
you last visited are marked.
These features are only available when "cookies" are accepted
by your browser (of course you can still use the forum when cookies
are turned off).
Netiquette:
We expressively do not censor the messages or ban "bad"
words as found on many other forums. But please always remember
that although the Internet is anonymous we want to ask you to keep
up the good manners.
Express
yourself :
As it is not possible to use facial expression as in real life an
ironic remark can easily be taken sarcastic or cynical. The following
text icons are an easy way to put remarks in true light:
:-) = smile
:-( = frown
:-O = oh!
:-D = big grin
;-) = wink
8-) = glasses
:-b = tongue
:-\\ = oh, well
>:-( = angry
:-| = indifferent
Have
fun!
