The
information in the Profile section is public and can be viewed
when anyone clicks on the your user name. Do not include personal
identifying information in your profile, such as: telephone
number, residential address, etc.
Preferences:
Unless you are familiar with the options, leave them set at
the default selections. As mentioned earlier, the first line
reads: "Always show my email address". Click NO to
avoid junk mail from spammers.
There's another option in the Preference grouping: Signature.
Your signature may include anything you wish, as long as it
complies with the "clean, well-lighted place" rules
of the forum. Whatever you decide to type in the signature
box will appear at the bottom of your posts. You might want
to use your name, or your name and the camp and years attended,
or a quote. It's up to you, and you have the option of changing
the selections in your profile and preferences at any time.
After
you submit your registration, an email will be sent to you
with your Forum name and password. Your registration will
then be complete.
Hope
this is helpful to you.
Additional notes:
The
first few categories in the upper section of the Forum are
dedicated to guidelines, technical and general assistance
for using the Forum. The next sections are where the conversations
take place.
