Welcome to the Atlantian Rapier Forum!
- Notifications:
To setup your forum notifications, click the Profile button found in the top menu bar of the forum, and then click the Edit Profile button on your profile page. You'll then be taken to the Edit Profile & Settings page; once here, click on the Notifications tab.
On the notifications page, you'll see a set of checkboxes on the left column and drop down menus on the right. The left option will enable forum notifications which show up as a number on the 'Profile' tab on the top of the screen, and the right drop down menu will enable email notifications. Smart - only emails you once per item on the forum until you've viewed the item you're being notified about. So if you were notified about a thread you wouldn't receive any further updates about that thread until you visited the forum and viewed the thread. Instant - emails you every time a notification is triggered. Daily - only emails you once per day for all of the day's notifications. Weekly - only emails you once per week of all the week's notifications. A week is Monday thru Sunday.
I suggest enabling emails for Bookmarks, Participated, Personal Message, and Mass Email but obviously adjust these to your preference. - Bookmarks:
The bookmarks system allows you to add interesting threads to a bookmark collection. One advantage to using the online forum bookmarks rather than the favorites features in your web browser is that forum bookmarks are always available through your online forum account regardless of which computer or mobile device you are using. Another advantage is that you can receive notifications letting you know when topics you have bookmarked have been updated. To bookmark, click the Actions drop-down menu found just above the first post of the thread, and from the menu select the Bookmark option. - Threads & Posts:
The home page of the forum has a variety of boards, each defined by a unique topic of discussion. By clicking on a board, you'll be taken to the thread listing page with all of the available threads to read and reply to. In the top right corner above the Last Post column, you will see a button labeled Create Thread. You'll be brought to the posting page where you will begin to create your new thread for other members to participate in.
To create a reply in a thread, simply click the Reply button in the top-right hand corner of the topic and you'll be brought to the posting page. Alternatively, you can Quick Reply at the bottom of the thread above the chatbox.
Tagging works by placing an @ before the person's username. Usernames are always entirely lowercase alpha-numeric characters. Examples: admin, colette, user1234. For more info on tagging, click here. - Profile:
But editing your profile, you'll be able to display a little bit more about yourself on the left of your posts. To edit your profile, click the Profile button found in the top menu bar of the forum and then click the Edit Profile button on the right. Here you will see tabs along the top of your profile page such as 'Avatar', 'Personal', 'Social', etc. Go through each one and put in any information you'd like to provide. Be sure to 'save' at the bottom. - Avatars:
Avatars can be up to 150x150 pixels in size (but will be resized if it's too big, don't worry), and can either be uploaded directly to the forum or you can link to a picture elsewhere. To edit your avatar, click the Profile button found in the top menu bar of the forum and then click the Edit Profile button. - Ect (Proboards User Guide)
