Your Board Viewing Settings:
First you will need to sign in using the user name and password that you joined Hegre-Art under. User names are Case Sensitive by the way. You can then select how you would like to view the board. Either in the traditional flat manner or as a threaded board. What's a thread? Thread's continue responses to specific post vice each post being separate. The post are contained in a folder of all the replies and responses to a specific post. You may chose to use default settings but personally I'd suggest taking the extra few seconds and select your personal settings. This includes things such as how long to remember your login info, how many threads you want to view and such as that. Some symbols may not show up. For instance greater than and less than symbols that you may use to bracket a ALT or LOL. You can use << or >>, or maybe even (LOL) as I do.
New thread:
You would use this function to post a new message vice making a reply to a post. Using the "New thread" will start a new thread. (By clicking the Reply: link located at the bottom of a specific post you can make a response to that specific post. Your post will then be added into that specific post thread and will show up on both the flat traditional board and in the thread of the threaded board as well. You also do not have to use a link title using this method as it will be part of that thread and not a new post. You can reply to multiple posts from the summary thread view by clicking post reply -- if you click more then you'll expand the thread and be at the view thread for that particular thread.) You can also use the box "quick reply" although that one won't give you the advanced options as picking a color or adding smilies and such.
Thread Title:
When using the "New Thread" you will need to type in a Thread Title. This is because you are making a new post and therefore will start a new thread. Whenever possible if you are "responding" to a particular post you should use the RE: link to post vice using the new "Click Here To Post". This will keep all the responses to a post in 1 folder vice having them spread out across the board.
Smiley Info:
Clicking the text link will reveal the available smiley icons that you may use when you make a post. Don't forget to use the : on both ends of the code.
Helpful Code:
Use this code box to share java scripts, html links, and such. Things that would be copy and paste info. Using this box makes it easier for the person to copy the code and also keeps the board looking clean as well. If you wish to use a sponsor identicons and such when you make a post simply select the icon you wish to use at the bottom of the post box. You may view the available icon by clicking the view identicons text link. Clicking on any of the question mark icons will reveal additional information concerning that specific function.
The Search Function:
The new messageboard allows you to search for keywords, by postername or reverse sorted through the list. 1. Want to see if anybody has posted a message to you? Just put your name in the keywords search section and you'll find out quickly. Another trick which is effective and does not require the new search function is using your browser's find function. In IE you would use in the menu at the top: EDIT ---> FIND type in your name or couple characters of your name. For example, I put in Sigma and I can find if any post on that page has my name in it. 2. if you would rather read posts from bottom to top (oldest to newest) instead of top to bottom then click the button that says search and then type in the starting post number and choose the total number of posts to read at one time (10, 25, 50, 100, 250). You can search through all posts numbered after 7100. This is a good way to catch up if you've been gone awhile without having to go through the archives.
Sending a post:
If you would like to send a specific post to someone you simply click the "send post to someone" text link located under the post and fill in the required fields.
Responding to a post:
(see above at posting section)
Pasting a copied text onto the board:
Use CTRL + v to paste into the posting box, instead of your right mouse click and it will work fine.
Enough info so far I think. When you are stuck or left with questions just use the PM function or e-mail us and we make sure to help you asap.
Happy perving !
