Re: A few newbie questions about using the forum

[Barry Galbraith]

When I log in to the forum, I see a Preferences button above the list of topics.
Clicking on it opens a page with a list of options down the left side.
2nd option is "Edit signature". That's where my signature "Good luck" comes from.
Another option is "Show followed topics" That's where I can see a list of topics I've replied too.
There is "spam prevention" on every post. Just enter the 5 leter pixelated code and your post will be posted.
For me, the "Follow topic", "Email me...", "Add my signature..." are checked by default. I suspect, but don't know for sure, that they are promoted from my previous post. Check them once, and they stay checked until you uncheck them.

Good luck,
Barry.
