Ok, so we made the big change to the new forum. And now there is so much new stuff.
1. Login. If you were a member before the change, you have to click on 'Forgot Password" first time that you login. The system will then send you an email (check junk folder) and you must click the link in the email and change your password. Then, login as normal!
2. Set up your Profile page. Click on your username at the top right of the forum. Now, click on "Profile". From here, you can upload your little "Profile pic" and this is the little pic that goes up nxt to all of your posts.
Now, upload your Profile's "Cover Photo". Like Facebook this is the big cover pic that goes at the top of your profile.
Not done yet! Now, click on "Edit Profile" and turn on "Status Updates". then scroll down and click "Save".
3. What the heck are "Status Updates"? Its the social media portion of our website. You can post status updates from your profile page and logged in members will see what you posted, displayed on the main forum page. Place an @ before someone's username and your post will appear on their status update. You can share pics, you can share posts from the forum, you can share stuff from outside of this website, too.
4. How to post pics on the forum. From a new post or Status update, you can upload pics from your device to this website and they will display where you post them.
In a Post or Status Update, go to the bottom left and click on "Choose Files" , find your desired image on your device and upload it.
If your image is already hosted on a website somewhere, just copy the "Share link" and come back here to your new post or status update, and click on "insert other media" and follow the directions to paste in the URL. This is also where you load Gif's.
