Update we are now using a state of the art forum core to run our forum on. But not only a new forum, a new look and a new name to go with it - our old name was originally tied to a site that hasn't been active for around 4 years, on top of which we were getting a high loading from spammers due to the ".info" domain - so we decided it was time for a change and South West Off-Roaders (http://swoffroaders.com (http://swoffroaders.com)) was born ;)
Help
Some bits of help using and navigating the forum:
Parts of the forum can not be seen or used unless you are a member and signed in, including:
Posting can only be done by signed in members
Images on the forum can only be viewed by signed in members So if you can't see a pic - sign in or join us ;)
Media is the new name for the Gallery but is not available to non-members
Chat is available (for members only) If you hold down your ctrl button (cmd for Mac users) when clicking on chat it will open in a new window or tab allowing you to chat and browse the forum at the same time (we still need to do a little tweaking to get this to happen on just a click)
Posting Images can be done in a number of ways:
- in the Media centre they can be uploaded into an existing album or to an album of your own.
- If you want to add photos to your post then you can upload them as attachments
- To add images in your text you can do the following:
Load your images to a storage site like Photobucket, then link from there to your post using the following code:
[img] [/img]
Right click on the image you wish to show in your post and "copy image location" then paste as follows
[img]http://www.4x4offroads.com/image-files/4x4-trucks-iceland-f-350-46.jpg[/img]
produces:
Movies simply load your movie to You Tube or similar site then put the full url to it in your post - the movie will automatically embed and show
Avatars and SigPics If you want a pic reduced to use as your Avatar or a pic turning into a SigPic for use in your signature please ask
