First READ the forum rules! They may be boring, but it is important you abide by them.
If you don't know where to go? or you dont know where to start?
Post here and we will try our best to help you familiarize the board and get to know the friendly members.

Instant Messaging
While e-mail is a good way to correspond privately with members, it has several drawbacks: You must open your e-mail application to write and send the message; the recipient must open his/her e-mail application; check his/her mail and your message will mixed in with all the other mail and it can take sometimes several minutes to an hour for mail to reach the recipient.
As an alternative to e-mail, This board offers a faster, more private method. Instant Messaging on the boards provides instantaneous delivery to the recipient's Private Mailbox. The mail is sent and received entirely through board, so neither you nor the recipient have to open another program or leave forum.
Instant Messaging also gives both the sender and recipient greater privacy: No one's real e-mail address is revealed. Instant Messages show only the handle and name of both parties.
If a recipient isn't online, Instant Messages wait in the member's IM box until the next time s/he logs in and manually reads and/or deletes them. Instant Messages is a self-contained, highly private e-mail system.

Hi Ree and other Moderators! Even though I've been a member since 2003 I am very much a novice when it comes to navigate around the website. Things dont seem to work right for me. Its getting frustrated when i get logged out each time I clicked on a thread. I keep logging in only to find out I got log out again before i could get to post my entry. Please advise to whats wrong with my connection and if you guys are going to make this website user friendly too  *cheers*

Never say good-bye if you still want to try- never give up if you still feel you can go on- never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go.
