How can I put an image (e.g. a smiley face) into my posts?
When posting/replying, switch to the HTML view.
Add the following:
<img src="http://www.example-website.com/directory/picture.jpg">
Then switch back to the Design view and your picture should be visible.
You will also have to FTP your pictures to some webspace first - your internet service provide will probably have provided you with some, or there are some free image hosting services you can use.
What's the difference between Email and Private Messaging (PM)?
Email will reveal your email address to the user and send them an email.
Private Messaging stores a message on our site that the user can see when they check their private messages.
Can I subscribe to threads - and then how do I unsubscribe?
Yes - by default you should get a notification when a new message has been approved in any thread you post in (this will apply for new posts, not ones that we have transferred from our previous forum). If you do not wish to get this in the first place, untick the Email me replies to this post box on the post/reply form.
To unsubscribe to a particular thread, go to the thread and toggle the Notify button at the page.
You can also subscribe to all new threads and/or posts in a particular forum. On the threads page for each forum, head to the Options box and the bottom - select the Email option that suits what you require.
What's the Settings link along the top?
