The only information required on your profile is name the other information is optional.

2. How do I include an image in my forum post?

   You will need to have your image uploaded to one of the photo sharing web sites like http://www.photobucket.com/ or upload your photo to one of the photo albums under the Forum Photos category in our Photo Gallery . Copy the URL of the image you want to include in your post.  If you uploaded your photo to our PhotoGallery you can do that by right clicking your mouse while your cursor is on the photo you uploaded, then select View Image Info , then copy the URL of the image displayed next to the Location: tag. Then go to the forum thread you want to include your image in and click on the TV screen looking icon in the toolbar of the text box. It will say Insert Image when you place your mouse on the icon. This will open a textbox, enter or paste the URL of your image in the box then click OK. Your image should then appear in your post.

3. How do I include a link in my forum post?

   The easiest way is to just type the link starting with www. (don't type the http://) If this doesn't work, when you get to the place you want the link (url) to appear click in the "Inset Link" icon in the toolbar of the text box. This icon looks like a chain link. After you click on this icon a box will open and prompt you to enter the link you want to include. Type the link or paste it in the box and click OK. The link should then appear in your post.

4. Forum Members vs. Club Membership

   These are two different memberships.  To join our Fourm is free and you just have to register using the link in the sidebar.  To join our club see Club Membership in the FAQ's. 

Private Messaging

1. How do I send someone a private message (PM)?

   Go to the member page and click on the person you want to send to. Under the "Actions" heading in the left hand column click "Send a Message" Enter the subject and your message and click send. You're done! When the person you sent the message to replys you will get an email notifying you that they have responded to your PM. NOTE: Do not just hit reply on the email notice you recieve. This email notice is sent from the club's email address so if you just reply to the email notice your reply will simply be sent to the clubs email address. To reply to the PM you will need to sign on to our website, go to your profile page and you will see a new message in your inbox.

2. How do I add someone as my friend?

   Go to the member page and click on the person you want to add as a friend. Under the "Actions" heading in the left hand column click "Add as Friend", then enter a short note to the person and click "Send Request". Once the person responds to your request they will show on your personal profile page under the heading "Friends" in the left hand column. Once you have someone identified as a friend you can PM them by clicking on "Inbox" under the Action heading on your personal profile page, this will take you to your Inbox. To PM a friend from here click on the Compose box in the upper left hand corner of the window. You can then start typing their name and it will find that person for you. Now just type your message as before and click Send.

Member Profile

1. What is a Shoutbox?

   Another cool feature while you're on the Main tab of your personal profile page you will see a shout box next to the picture that says "What's on your mind?" You can type a short comment or quote in the box and click "Update". When anyone else puts their mouse over your picture on the forum it will display your comment or quote on the screen briefly.

2. How do I get rid of the default profile image that is used when I post to the forum?

   You can upload an image of your choice by clicking on the "Edit Profile" link under the Welcome section of the sidebar on the right side of your screen. Click the "Upload Image" link under the Profile Image section of your profile page. You can then browse your PC for the picture you would like to use.

Website

1. How do I invite my friends to this website?

   If you are a club member you can invite your friends to our website by clicking

   "Invite" under the Welcome section of the sidebar on the right hand side of the page. This will take you to a page that will let you choose from the contacts you have in your personal email client or just type in the individual's email address and a short message.

2. How do I upload more than one photo at a time to an alblum on the photo gallery page?
