To make it easier to access your messages I have placed a link at the top and bottom of the forum. The top link is in the welcome center under the icon legend. The bottom link is in the information center. It will tell you if you have any new messages in the info center. Alternatively you can also click here |

When you first start an account the forum has certain things set to a default. One of these things is your notifications. Notifications being either an email, pm or pop up The default setting is to not receive notifications at all. - First, go as if to check your messages
- In the top corner of your message page there is the tab preferences. Follow that link
You will be presented with two questions Do you wish to have an email sent to you when a Personal Message is received?You can choose either yes or no. Would you like an alert box to notify you when a new Personal Message has arrived?You can select yes or no Tip: I recommend setting yes for both. Also on this page you will notice a box to block certain users contacting you. If you want to block members follow the instructions above the box. |

A bookmark is the way to follow a thread you are interested in. The thread can either be one you are participating in or one not. There are two ways to bookmark a thread. - When making a thread or replying to one you have the option to bookmark in the posting page.
- The other way is to open the thread and at the bottom and top you will see a bookmark tab.

To receive notifications for threads you have bookmarked go to your profile stats page.
At the top will be a tab, "bookmarks" which will open up to show you a list of threads you have bookmarked.
To manage them select the manage bookmarks tab on the right.
Here you'll be able to delete bookmarks and also have the option to select what type of notification you want or if you don't want one at all.

You can remove bookmarks from your bookmark page or in the thread you are following itself by selecting the bookmark tab.
Also you have the option of removing a bookmark if you post in that thread.

Entries you can make; - Events etc that are ME/FM related incase others don't know about it (including local events)
- Misc. fun events that others might like to know about (such as a book coming out or a movie etc)
- Any and all events you would like others to know about. So if you have something you're looking forward to or even something you aren't, like appointments for instance, and would like everyone to know about it (or warn about!) you can enter it.
Requirements- Pm your admin when you make an entry with the link to that entry.
- Post with a brief description

Select the calendar tab up the top. It will open up to the month it is. If the event is in that month- Select the date, you will automatically come to a new entry window
- Add the date like you would a post and then hit add!
If the event is not in that month- Select the month in the drop down menu to your left.
- Then select the date you'd like and enter your event.
Alternatively- Select the new events tab on your top right
- Then enter the event as mentioned above.
- Don't forget to add the date!

As long as they adhere to the guidelines then you can post images as much as you like. You can share your photos, art, funny pictures etc. The only requirement, if it's a big picture, is to resize it to so it fits in the board properly. If you are unsure how to do this either post in the Feedback/Q & A board or pm the admin For a how to click here |
