FAQs: Forum

Basics: Where to start
Before you start posting anything, you need to register. This allows you to comment much faster (not have to keep submitting your name) and gives you your own avatar as well as other features.
So, click 'Register' in the top right of the forum box. Fill in the form that is displayed, ensuring you fill in all the fields carefully with a valid email address. Tick the box that says you agree to the Terms and Conditions, and then click on the 'Register' button. It will then inform you that an email has been sent to you to complete registration. You'll need to go into your email inbox and find the message (if you use Hotmail or Yahoo! it may be automatically sent to your Junk Email folder). Once you're on the email, simply click on the single link provided (again, Hotmail will probably tell you that attachments have been blocked for your safety; just click OK on the box that pops up). Registration is complete! You'll be directed to the Nabble website if you click 'Continue', so if you wish to remain on the NFC Youth website, simply go back to the website, back to the forum, and you should be logged in automatically!

Alright I'm in, now what?
Well it's quite self-explanatory from here on in. The list of topics shows all discussions that have been created so far; simply click on one to join in, and look for the 'reply' link to contribute. To create your own topic simply go to the main forum page (if you're in a topic, click 'Return to forum'), and select new topic. Fill in the the subject and message fields, untick the box if you don't want to receive emails when someone replies, and click 'post message'. Simple as!

I've been told I can discuss photos using the forum, how can this be done?
This is a simple process, and requires you to simply start a new topic. On this page there is an option to insert an image. You'll get a pop-up box allowing you to either copy an image from a URL or by uploading one from your own documents. To discuss a photo on the website, simply right click the image in question, and select 'copy image location'. Go back to the pop-up box, delete any text in the URL field, and then right click in the field and select 'paste'. Leave the float option as none. When you press 'insert image' it will look like code in your message (that's because it is), but when you post your message it will display the image for all to behold!

How do I edit or delete my post?
Go to the topic from which you wish to alter your post. Click on the 'more' link to the top right of your post, and you will be given various choices including editing and delete options.

I posted on a topic, but it's disappeared!
There are two possible reasons for this. Firstly, you may have not properly submitted your post and instead just previewed it (if this is the case you will probably have to re-write the post). The more likely reason is that it has been purposely deleted! If your post is deemed offensive or inappropriate in any way, it will be removed. Constant abuse of the forums may result in being restricted or banned.

How do I change my personal settings?
To alter personal settings, simply click on your user name which is displayed as a link in the top right corner of the forum box. You'll be taken to your account settings page, and from here you can click 'personal settings' to edit your information, avatar (profile picture) as well as other features.

I don't want people going on my account, how do I logout?
Easy. Click on your user name at the top right of the box, and then click on 'Logout' on the following page.
