letters, numbers and special characters. For passwords, it is best not to use "dictionary" words.

even tougher to guess. Never give your password to anyone.

|
Why did some words in my post change or get blocked out?
|
If enabled certain words may be censored. Typically this is done
with foul language. Please check the board rules for what language may or may not be appropriate.
Depending on how the censor is setup, some words may simply be blocked out, and others may change
into a different word.
|
|
What should I use for my topic subject?
|
Make sure you use a descriptive subject line for your topics.
It is vital for users when viewing, so they can know what the topic is about. You are more
likely to get viewers and get a response to a topic with the subject of "Macintosh Photoshop
Question" than with a topic subject of "Help!!!!!!!!!!!!".
|
|
How can I tell what posts are new?
|
When viewing a list of topics, you will notice an image
in the left column. If this image is "lit up" it means there are new posts in this topic.
Check the Icon Legend at the bottom of the screen for a detail of each image used, as different
skins can use different images.
You will also notice an arrow image right before the subject of the post. Clicking on this
arrow will take you to the FIRST UNREAD post. Clicking on the subject will take you to the
first post in the topic.
|
