| Login and Registration Issues |
| Why can't I login? Have you registered yet? You must register first in order to login. Have you been banned from funender.com? (a message will be displayed if you have) If so then you should contact the Administrator to find out why. If you have registered and are not banned and you still cannot login then check and double check your username and password. Usually this is the problem, if not then contact the board administrator they may have incorrect configuration settings for the board. Back to top |
 |
| Why do I need to register at all? Registration will give you access to additional features not available to guest users such as posting, definable images, private messaging, emailing of fellow users, usergroup subscription, hidden Forums, promotion of your site, submissions to stations, etc. It only takes a few seconds to register so it is recommended you do so. It is Totally Free to register. Back to top |
|
| Why do I get logged off automatically? If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you login the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in check the box during login, this is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university cluster, etc. Back to top |
|
| How do I prevent my username appearing in the online user listings? In your profile you will find an option Hide your online status, if you switch this on you'll only appear to board administrators or to yourself. You will be counted as a hidden user. Back to top |
|
| I've lost my password! Don't panic! While your password cannot be retrieved it can be reset. To do this go to the login page and click I've forgotten my password, follow the instructions and you should be back online in no time Back to top |
|
| I registered but cannot login! Firstly check your are entering the correct username and password. If they are okay then one of two things may have happened. If COPPA support is enabled and you clicked the I am under 13 years old link while registering then you will have to follow the instructions you received. Back to top |
|
| I registered in the past but cannot login any more?! The most likely reasons for this are; you entered an incorrect username or password (check the email you were sent when you first registered) or the administrator has deleted your account for some reason. If it is the later case then perhaps you did not post anything? It is usual for boards to periodically remove users who have not posted anything so as to reduce the size of the database. Try registering again and get involved in discussions. Back to top |

| What are the rules of funender.com? The rules of funender.com can be found by viewing the Forum Rules Page Located Here Back to top |
|
| User Preferences and settings |
| How do I change my settings? All your settings (if you are registered) are stored in the database. To alter them click the Profile link (generally shown at the top of pages but this may not be the case). This will allow you to change all your settings Back to top |
|
| The times are not correct! The times are almost certainly correct, however what you may be seeing are times displayed in a timezone different from the one you are in. If this is the case you should change your profile setting for the timezone to match your particular area, e.g. London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc. Please note that changing the timezone, like most settings can only be done by registered users. Back to top |
|
| What is the signature box used for? A signature is a section where you can place text and links to be displayed automatically every time you post a message in the forums and private messaging. This saves the time for you having to enter your site link, or whatever info you want everytime you post. Members can locate your site a lot easier when they can simply click on the link located in your signature. Once created you can check the Add Signature box on the posting form to add your signature. You can also add a signature by default to all your posts by checking the appropriate radio box in your profile (you can still prevent a signature being added to individual posts by un-checking the add signature box on the posting form) Back to top |
|
| I changed the timezone and the time is still wrong! If you are sure you have set the timezone correctly and the time is still different the most likely answer is daylight savings time (or summer time as it is known in the UK and other places). The board is not designed to handle the changeovers between standard and daylight time so during summer months the time may be an hour different from the real local time. Another reason could be that you have selected the wrong GMT time setting. Back to top |
|
| My language is not in the list! The most likely reasons for this are either FuNEnD3R did not install your language or someone has not translated this board into your language. Back to top |
|
| How do I display an Image under my username? Below your username is an image known as an avatar, this is generally unique or personal to each user. To upload your own avatar, you must go into your Profile settings and near the bottom you will find instructions on how to upload or link to an avatar of your choice. The size requirements are explained in that section of the avatar upload. Be sure not to upload any imagery that violate the rules of funender.com. Each user has an option on whether nor not they wish to avatars from being displayed. This is a useful feature for those who either have slow internet connections, or who do not wish to see avatars in posts. Back to top |
|
| What if I dont want to view avatars in posts? There is in option located in your Profile Settings that allow you to turn off the viewing of user's avatars. This will also speed up the page load time if you have a slow internet connection. Back to top |
|
| How do I change my rank? In general you cannot directly change the wording of any rank (ranks appear below your username in topics and on your profile depending on the style used). Funender.com uses ranks to indicate the number of posts you have made and to identify certain users, e.g. Moderator Enders, Review Crew, and FuNEnD3R have special ranks. To view the Ranks Page and to see the requirements needed to gain a level, click Here Back to top |
|
| When I click the email link for a user it asks me to login? Sorry but only registered users can send email to people via the built-in email form. This is to prevent malicious use of the email system by anonymous users. Back to top |
|
| Posting Issues |
| How do I post a topic in a forum? Easy, click the relevant button on either the forum or topic screens. You have to register before you can post a message, the facilities available to you are listed at the bottom of the forum and topic screens (the You can post new topics, You can vote in polls, etc. list) Back to top |
|
| How do I edit or delete a post? Unless you are part of the Moderator Enders Group, you can only edit your own posts. You can edit your post by clicking the edit button located on the top right of your post in the topic you posted in. Back to top |
|
| How do I create a poll? Creating a poll is easy, when you post a new topic (or edit the first post of a topic, if you have permission) you should see a Add Poll form below the main posting box (if you cannot see this then you probably do not have rights to create polls). You should enter a title for the poll and then at least two options (to set an option type in the poll question and click the Add option button. You can also set a time limit for the poll, 0 is an infinite poll. There will be a limit to the number of options you can list, this is set by the board administrator (FuNEnD3R) Back to top |
|
| How do I edit or delete a poll? As with posts, polls can only be edited by the original poster, a moderator or board admin. To edit a poll click the first post in the topic (this always has the poll associated with it). If no one has cast a vote then users can delete the poll or edit any poll option, however if people have already placed votes only moderators or administrators can edit or delete it. This is to prevent people rigging polls by changing options mid-way through a poll Back to top |
|
| Why can't I access a forum? Some forums may be limited to certain users or groups. To view, read, post, etc. you may need special authorisation, only FuNEnD3R can grant this access, you should contact him. Back to top |
|
| Why can't I vote in polls? Only registered users can vote in polls (so as to prevent spoofing of results). If you have registered and still cannot vote then you probably do not have appropriate access rights. Back to top |
|
| Formatting and Topic Types |
| What is BBCode? BBCode is a special implementation of HTML, whether you can use BBCode is determined by the administrator (you can also disable it on a per post basis from the posting form). BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML, tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. For more information on BBCode see the guide located Here. Back to top |
|
| Can I use HTML? The Administrator only allows BBCode instead of HTML on funender.com Back to top |
|
| What are Smileys? Smileys, or Emoticons are small graphical images which can be used to express some feeling using a short code, e.g. :) means happy, :( means sad. The full list of emoticons can be seen via the posting form. Try not to overuse smileys though, they can quickly render a post unreadable and a moderator may decide to edit them out or remove the post altogether Back to top |
|
| Can I post Images? Images can not be shown in your posts. However, there is an Album for uploading images directly to this board. Back to top |
|
| What are Announcements? Announcements often contain important information and you should read them as soon as possible. Announcements appear at the top of every page in the forum to which they are posted. Back to top |
|
| What are Sticky topics? Sticky topics appear below any announcements in viewforum and only on the first page. They are often quite important so you should read them where possible. As with announcements the board administrator determines what permissions are required to post sticky topics in each forum. Back to top |
|
| What are Locked topics? Locked topics are set this way by either the forum moderator or Administrator. You cannot reply to locked topics and any poll it contained is automatically ended. Topics may be locked for many reasons. Back to top |
|
| What does Boost Mean? Boost is a word started by FuNEnD3R as a funender.com way of moving a topic up to the top of the first page. Anytime you post a reply on any Topic, it automatically is placed over the existing Topics. We reply using the word Boost so your topic can get more views to those who have missed it Back to top |
|
| User Levels and Groups |
| What is an Administrator? The Administrator is assigned the highest level of control over the entire board. FuNEnD3R is the Administrator/WebMaster/Developer/Designer, Owner and creator of funender.com, and can control all facets of board operation which includes setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc. He also has full Moderator capabilities in all the forums. Back to top |
|
| What are Moderator Enders? Members chosen to be in the Moderator Ender group are individuals who have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally Moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material. Back to top |
|
| What are Usergroups? Usergroups are a way in which FuNEnD3R can group users. Each user can belong to several groups and can be assigned individual access rights. This makes it easy for FuNEnD3R to set up several users as Moderators of a forum, or to give them access to a private forum, etc. Back to top |
|
| How do I join a Usergroup? To join a usergroup click the usergroup link on the page header (dependent on template design), you can then view all usergroups. Not all groups are open access, some are closed and some may even have hidden memberships. If the board is open then you can request to join it by clicking the appropriate button. The user group moderator will need to approve your request, they may ask why you want to join the group. Please do not pester a group moderator if they turn your request down, they will have their reasons. Back to top |
|
| Private Messaging |
| I cannot send private messages! There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on, the Administrator has disabled private messaging for the entire board or the Administrator has prevented you from sending messages. Back to top |

| I have received a spamming or abusive email from someone on this board! The email form feature of this board includes safeguards to try and track users who send such posts. You should email the Administrator at ▓ e-mail address hidden with a full copy of the email you received, it is very important this include the headers (these list details of the user that sent the email). They can then take action. Back to top |
