Just a few pointers for the newbies amongst us who maybe a bit unsure about how to use some of the functions and what certain things mean on the boards....
On the Home page you have all the different categories where you will post your comments. To the left of each category there will be one of two images:
This image tells you that there are no new threads to read in that particular category.
This image tells you there are new threads that you haven't read in that category.
Personal messages or PM's.
When you log in, at the top of the screen under the logo you will see the following:
Hey, YOUR USERNAME, you have 3 messages, 1 is new. Mar 22nd, 2005, 12:30am
or something similar depending on the number of PM's you have.
If you click where it say "3 messages" it will take you to you PM inbox and show you messages that other GeryNuts have sent you. It's basically a messageboard e-mail inbox!
To use the smilies.
When you start a new thread or reply to an existing one the first bit you notice on the screen is a big table of smilies, if you scroll past them you get to your message box. To add a smilie you simply click on the smilie you want to add to your message and it will appear in you message in code form, once you post your message then you see the smilie inserted into your message.
I wont run on anymore because I don't knwo what people don't know how to use, so if your a newbie and you don't understand how something works please feel free to PM me.
