In order to use our member-only forums, you must register as a member first. However, some forums are configured to allow everyone (Guest) to access (view, post, etc.).
If you would like to view or post on other member-specific forums, simply
click on the 
link located at the top of each forum page to register first.
Depending on the registration system setup, you may be required to verify your e-mail address (Admin has the ability to specify the requirement). In that case, a notification e-mail will be sent to you immediately after you registered. Please confirm your e-mail address by clicking on the confirmation URL printed in the notification e-mail. Once you confirmed your e-mail address, you will be able to log in, view, post, and use other features (such as vote, rate message, etc.) in our member-only forums.
You may log in using the link located at the top of each forum page. A pop-up
window will open upon click. At the bottom of the login window, there is a
check box called "Save as Cookie" (see below), and you can check
the box so that you don't have to manually input login information every time
you come to the forum. Remember, do not use this feature
if you are using public terminals to access the forum.
If you forgot your password, click on the 
button to retrieve it. A mail containing your username and password will be
sent to your e-mail.
At top right corner of each page, you will see your current login status after you logged in.
To log out, simply click on the logout link at the top of each page, and the forum will erase your session information and bring you back to the homepage of the web site (this is configurable by administrator).
Member list displays total number of registered members and some of their
basic information. You can sort the display order by playing with the arrow
keys 
and 
, or searching member alphabetically. This page also allows you to send private
messages, send e-mail, visit member’s homepage, or add member to your
contact list (address book/block list) using a combination of check boxes.
You may search for specific posts based on words or phrases that are found
in the subject or message body. You may also search by author name, date within
a particular forum or an entire category. To access this function, just click
on the 
link at the top of each page.
