How do I edit my message? If you didn't log in before posting
your message, you cannot edit any messages. By logging in before posting,
you'll be able to edit the message later. You can edit by selecting the
[EDIT] menu option at the bottom of your message.
How do I remove my message? Only the board administrator
can remove messages. It is suggested you preview your message before posting
and try editing the message first. If your message still needs to be removed,
please send a note to the administrator.
How do I send the poster e-mail if I don't know her address?
At the base of every message is a menu bar of links. One of these is [SEND
EMAIL]. If the poster specified a valid email address when they posted
their message, you only have to click on the link to send them email. There
will be cases where a poster forgets or makes a typo in their email address.
In these cases, please respond to the individual's message in the message
board.

in, select [USER] off the menu. To change your email addres, select Modify
your account information and press Submit. Change your address and press
Submit once again.
How do I know if somebody has responded to my message?
When you post your message, select "Check if you want to receive email
when a new message is posted to this thread?" to receive email anytime
anybody responds to your message in the board. Another way is simply visiting
the board and looking :-)
Where did my message go? It was there last week! Due to
space limitations and the dated content of most messages, messages may
disappear after a week or two. Newer messages are always displayed first
in the board. As messages grow older, they'll slowly move down the page
and onto the second page of the board.
You can select which page you want to view by selecting the numbers
at the top of the message board. Usually, you will be viewing page 1. Selecting
2 will take you to page 2 of the board. When messages grow so old, they
are automatically deleted and lost forever.
Cool Tricks
Here are some more cool features that you can use...
Embedding URL or Hyper link
The board automatically removes all HTML tags from your message. However,
you can still embed your URL simply by typing the URL. That is, if you
type
http://www.babymingle.com
the message board will automatically link it and display

Embedding an Image URL
You can place an image in your message by typing "image:www.yourdomain.com/imagename".
Please no huge images and please keep all images under 100KB in size.
For example, if you type
image:www.refundsweepers.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif
You would see the image happy.gif in your message.
