To reset your password click on the Login button and at the bottom of the login page you will have a link to the lost password page to request that a new password be emailed to you.

You will be able to control many aspects and access member features from this central menu."

To change the Times and Dates to your own local settings then simply edit your 'Forum Preferences' through your Member Control Panel Menu, and set by how many hours the time is offset from your own local time. The Forums are not designed to adjust between standard and daylight saving times, so you may need to adjust the time in your Forum Preferences by another hour during these months."

Const strTxtFAQ13 = "If you have sufficient rights to create a poll in a forum you will see a 'New Poll' button at the top of the screen on the forum and topic screens.

Const strTxtFAQ14 = "Some forums are setup to allow only certain users or groups f users to access them. To view, read, post, etc. in a forum you may first need permission which only a forum moderator or a forum administrator can grant you." Const strTxtFAQ15 = "If you are using Internet Explorer 5+ (windows only), Netscape 7.1, Mozilla 1.3+, Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1+, and if the forum administrator has enabled it you should have a Rich Text (WYSIWYG) Editor to type your messages with. If you find that you are having problems posting using the WYSIWYG editor then you can disable this WYSIWYG Editor by simply editing your profile and selecting to turn off the WYSIWYG Posting Editor." Const strTxtFAQ16 = "Forum Codes allow you to format the messages you post in the forums. Forum Codes are very similar to HTML except tags are enclosed in square brackets, [ and ], rather than, < and >. You can also disable Forum Codes when posting a message. Click here to view Forum Codes that are available in the forums." Const strTxtFAQ17 = "HTML cannot be used in your posts, this is done for security reasons as malicious HTML code can be used to destroy the layout of the forum or even crash a web browser when a user tries to view a post." Const strTxtFAQ18 = "Emoticons or Smileys are small graphical images that can be used to express feelings or show emotions.

Const strTxtFAQ19 = "Images can be added to your posts, if the forum administrators have allowed uploading of images you can use this to upload an image from your own computer into your message.

They have the power to edit, delete, move, close, unclose, topics and posts, in the forum they moderate. Moderators generally are there to prevent people from posting offensive or abusive material." Const strTxtFAQ23 = "Usergroups are a way to group users. Each user is a member of a usergroup and each group can be assigned individual rights in forums, to read, view, post, create polls, etc." Const strTxtFAQ24 = "There maybe several reasons for this, you are not logged in, you are not registered, or the forum administrators have disabled the Private Messaging system." Const strTxtFAQ25 = "This maybe because the person you are trying to send a Private Message to has blocked you from being able to send them Private Messages, if this is the case you should receive a message informing you of this if you try to send them a Private Message." Const strTxtFAQ26 = "If you do find that you are getting unwanted Private Messages from a user you can block them from sending you Private Messages. To do this go into the Private Messaging system and go to your buddy list. Go to add the user as a buddy, but instead choose the option from the drop down list 'Not to message you', this will prevent this user from sending you anymore Private Messages." %>
