Frequently Asked Questions
How do I edit my personal information and preferences?
On the top right of the page, click the “Account” tab. On the left navigation bar, there are Account Options. If you click on Personal Information, you can edit your name, email address, picture, signature, etc.
How do I change my password?
Click the “Account” tab and on the left navigation bar is a link to change your password.
What happens if I forget my password?
You can reset your password by clicking on the “Forgot your password?” link on the sign-in page. You will be prompted to enter your username. Password reset instructions will then be emailed to the email address associated with that username. Using this form DOES NOT change your password. If you are the owner of that email address, you will receive an automated message from the application that will contain a link back to the server where you can change your password. Please note that some email programs try to auto-link hyperlinks that they find in email messages. Sometimes these programs mess up the links, and this can cause our password retrieval system to break. So, please be sure to copy and paste the entire link from your password retrieval email message into your web browser.
A whisper is a private message that appears inline with a discussion. Only you and the recipient of the whisper can see the whisper. It won’t affect the paging or comment counting of discussions. It’s a way for you to say something secretly to another member in the middle of a discussion. You can also create entirely private discussions by entering a whisper recipient when starting a discussion. Then only you and the recipient can see the entire discussion. Whispers can only be seen by two people: the one whispering and the one being whispered to. You cannot whisper to multiple people at one time.
How do I put an image in a post?
If you have an image on the web (photobucket, flickr, etc), choose the IMG code to paste into the post. If your image is stored on your computer, upload as an attachment (below the body of the post) click “browse” and find your image on your computer (max file size is 500kb).
How do I use smilies or icons?
At the bottom of your post, click the blue “vanillacons” link and click on the expression you’d like to put in your post. You can see different vanillacon options by choosing another set of icons from the drop down menu.
Why does my page skip to the bottom when I click on a discussion?
Your settings automatically bring you down to the latest comment in a discussion. If you want to change this, go to “Account” and on the left navigation there is a “forum preferences” link – you can adjust this setting there.
What if I don’t want people to know I’m online?
Under the “Account” tab, you can choose not to appear in the “who’s online” list in “forum preferences.”
