You've
probably seen others use smilies before in e-mail
messages or other bulletin board posts. Smilies are
keyboard characters used to convey an emotion, such as a
smile 
or a frown  .
This bulletin board automatically converts certain text
to a graphical representation when it is inserted
between brackets []. Here are the smilies that are
currently supported by FiseProvincia Forums:

| Creating
a Hyperlink in your message |
|
You can easily add a hyperlink to your message.
All that you need to do is type the URL
(http://www.fiseprovincia.it/forum/), and it will
automatically be converted to a URL (http://www.fiseprovincia.it/forum/)!
The trick here is to make sure you prefix your URL
with the http://, https:// or file://
You can also add a mailto link to your message by
typing in your e-mail address.
This Example:
info@fiseprovincia.it
Outputs this:
info@fiseprovincia.it
Another way to add hyperlinks is to use the [url]linkto[/url]
tags
This Example:
[url]http://www.fiseprovincia.it/forum/[/url]
takes you home!
Outputs This:
http://www.fiseprovincia.it/forum/
takes you home!
If you use this tag: [url="linkto"]description[/url]
you can add a description to the link.
This Example:
Take me to [url="http://www.fiseprovincia.it/forum/"]FiseProvincia
Forums[/url]
Outputs This:
Take me to FiseProvincia
Forums
This Example:
If you have a question [url="info@fiseprovincia.it"]E-Mail
Me[/url]
Outputs This:

| Censoring
Posts |
|
The
Forum does censor certain words that may be posted;
however, this censoring is not an exact science, and is
being done based on the words that are being screened,
so certain words may be censored out of context. By
default, words that are censored are replaced with
asterisks.
|
| Lost
Password |
|
Changing
a lost password is simple, assuming that e-mail features
are turned on for this forum. All of the pages that
require you to identify yourself with your Username and
Password carry a "lost Password" link that you
can use to have a code e-mailed instantly to your e-mail
address of record that will allow you to create a new
password. Because of the Encryption that we use for your
password, we cannot tell you what your password is.
|
| Can
I be notified by e-mail when there are new posts? |
|
Yes,
the Subscription feature allows you to subscribe
to the entire Board, individual Categories, Forums
and/or Topics, depending on what the administrator of
this site allows. You will receive an e-mail notifying
you of a post that has been made to the Category/Forum/Topic
that you have subscribed to. There are four levels of
subscription:
- Board Wide Subscription
If you can subscribe to an entire Board, you'll get a
notification for any posts made within all the forums
inside that board.
- Category Wide Subscription
You can subscribe to an entire Category, which will
notify you if there was any posts made within any
topic, within any forum, within that Category.
- Forum Wide Subscription
If you don't want to subscribe to an entire Category,
you can subscribe to a single forum. This will notify
you of any posts made within any topic, within that
forum.
- Topic Wide Subscription
More conveniently, you can subscribe to just an
individual topic. You will be notified of any post
made within that topic.
Each level of subscription is optional. The
administrator can turn On/Off each level of
subscription for each Category/Forum/Topic.
To Subscribe or Unsubscribe from any level of
subscription, you can use the "My Subscriptions"
link, located near the top of each page to manage your
subscriptions. Or you can click on the subscribe/unsubscribe
icons (  )
for that Category/Forum/Topic you want to subscribe/unsubscribe
to/from.
