I am not going into a long drawn out bunch of rules and regulations. Most people have enough forum experience to understand that for the most part it just boils down to treating others as you enjoy being treated.

No spamming  :-X

Your welcome to promote. As a matter of fact, this forum encourages and supports it's members to let us know all about your internet activities. For new members, you are welcome to take advantage of getting your website banners as well as actual items from your websites placed within the two members marquee boxes at the top of the forum.

Post and participate regularly for a while and our forum will be happy to promote you. We want to reward active members with as many promotional opportunities as we can.

Members signatures allow for a lot of information about your various websites. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to create an informative signature. It truly is the very best business card that the forum has to offer. Take advantage of it ! ;)

Other than that, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you settle in.

Welcome, and we hope you will make our forum one of your regular daily stops.....

Just a reminder...... , and this does not apply to most members.

We really do enjoy promoting members via the members marquee and items boxes at the top of the forum.

Just a reminder that for us to promote you, you must post and participate on a regular basis. We want to reward active members with as many promotional opportunities as we can.

It does not require much to reap the promotional rewards that our forum offers. Simply post two informative posts a week and enjoy the average of 1500 page views a week that the forum is seeing.

I do not look forward to removing members banners and special items they have asked me to list.

Not harsh at all Seth.

That really sums it up nicely, and yes..., I too would love to see new members sign up with interesting and unique lapidary techniques like Stans knapping work.

Like I said. Just a reminder, but they will be removed

George,
I have a few things I would like to sell.  Any rules, special or not so special, I need to be aware of?

Of all the things I've lost..I miss my mind the most.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're probably right.

i think this is the second time I read about the signiture request. I am very slow with this computer stuff. can you explain what you are looking for with the signiture. A step by step how to would be great. does it make a difference if I have nothing to sell. thanks for your help.

For you Alvin.. Go here to your profile information page..

Scroll down until you see the Signature box.

Since you have donated to the forum, you will see this in that box.

Code:

[img]http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u340/taogemstones/forum_supporter.jpg[/img]


Just add your name, link to your website, or maybe your blog either above or below that..

Scroll down to bottom of page and hit "change profile"

That's it !  :)

Tell ya what... I will add your name and a link to your Theriult Flies site for ya..

If you want to add anything else just give it a whirl..

So now what you will see within your signature box is this:

Code:

Alvin

Can we post a movie on the forum directly?   (I guess could put it on youtube and post a link - is that the only way?)
