FAQ

I just joined, why can't I create a topic?
To prevent spammers from spamming, those who have just joined needs to be added to the Member usergroup by one of the Admins. Only then will you have access to the rest of the boards to create topics or post a reply.

Can I change my username?
By yourself, no. However, PM an Admin and we'll be happy to change your username for you.

Why is my signature not showing up?
There are two possible reasons why your signature is not showing. One, you have not created one, and two, you have not attached your signature to your posts.

If you want to automatically attach your signature to your posts from now on then:
Click on Profile ==> then Preferences tab ==> Make sure you select Yes to Always attach my signature ==> Then, click on the Save button.

Unfortunately, doing so above will not attach your signature to the posts that you have already made before you made your signature. You'll have to manually attach your signature for each post that you have done prior to creating a signature.

How do I earn Points?
