I don't know how many are familiar with this Bulletin Board software so I thought I'd throw up a screen capture of how to customize your theme.
Open your User Control Panel >> Board Preferences
When you log in to this forum, you have the option to click the check box "Log me on automatically each visit".
You need cookies enabled to use this, and you will only see the theme that you have chosen when you visit the forum. If you view the forum as a guest -- as many people do, then you will see the forum default theme until you log in.
To preview a working demo of each theme, click the name link below:
* DirtyBoard
* ProSilver
* ProSilverSE
Links
To open a link (on a PC) in a new tab or window:
* Middle-click on a link, or
* Right-click on the link and select Open Link in New Tab or Open Link in New Window
* Hold the Ctrl key down when you click on a link to open it in a new tab
* Hold the Shift key down when you click on a link to open it in a new window
These are general hot-keys, not just for this forum. However, I have added a mod to the forum that should open external links in new tabs the way you are used to doing in most forums. Whether it opens in a new tab or new window depends on your browser preferences settings.
To add a link in your post:
Links are detected automatically, so just pasting or typing in:
- Code: Select all
http://www.somesite.com
will show it in link form: http://www.somesite.com
* You can also wrap a link around a word or phrase:
- Code: Select all
[url=http://www.somesite.com]word or phrase[/url]
will show: word or phrase
Your browser status bar will show the full url when you mouse-over a linked word or phrase.

If you didn't get your confirmation email when registering, check your spam box in the email account you used when you signed up. The auto-email could have been mistakenly identified as spam and sent there.
Please enter your city or area in the "Location" field in your profile. It is helpful to other users when recommending used parts sources or other area specific things.
You can access it through your User Control Panel >> Profile.
It is also helpful to list some details about your rig in your profile signature. Such as year, model, and maybe some basic drive-train info. This helps others answer your questions better when you ask for help in the Tech sections, and saves asking what you have.
Location & Sig are not required, but it is appreciated. Thanks.
If you have any other forum or posting questions, speak up.
