Here are some pointers for using this forum:
Under the logo, above, and the \"Welcome\" you\'ll find a bar with 5 buttons across it.
The first is \"members\" and you\'ll find a list of ABC Forum members there.
The last one is \"messenger\" and if someone sends a PM or Personal Message to you that button will prompt you to click on it to view the message.
The \"control panel\" is very useful.
Click on it to see more user options.
Here you can upload your own Avatar under \"edit avatar\" Do a search for avatars and you\'ll find out what they are and download and then upload one you like. My avatar is the ChickHatchery.com logo to the left.
Under \"edit preferences\" it will be a big help to select your time zone.
Under \"edit profile\" you can include your homepage, but you\'ll have to include \"http://\" before
www.whatever.
.
Here you can also include your \"signature\". That way you don\'t have to sign each post - whatever you write in the signature box will be included on all your posts, like mine below.
If you would like to be notified, by Email, when a new post is made to any topic just click the \"Subscribe\" button on the bottom of that topic page.
Since all topics are under \"Ameraucana Marketplace\", you can subscribe to it (like I have) and you\'ll get an Email notice every time something is posted.
You can edit your subscriptions in the control panel.
