| CONNECTION
AND REGISTERING |
| Why
can't I connect me?
Were
you registered?
More seriously, you must be registered in order to connect you.
Were you banished forum (a message is posted if you are it)?
If
so, should contact the Webmaster or the administrator of the forum to
you to discover the reason of it. If
you were registered
and that you are not banished and that you cannot still connect you,
check and verify again your name of user and password.
It is generally from there that the problem comes, if that still
does not function, contact the administrator of the forum, it may be
that the forum was badly configured.

 |
| Why
have I not need to register me?
You
can not need some, it is to the administrator to decide if you need or
not to register
you for poster of the messages on certain forums.
However, the recording will give you access to non-available
additional functions for the guests such as the choice of an image
misadventure, a private transport, the sending of e-mail to friends, the
inscription with a user group, etc.
The registering
takes only a few moments, it is thus recommended to do it.

 |
| Why
am I automatically disconnected ?
If
you do not notch the box to connect yourselves automatically to each
visit when you connect yourselves, the forum will only keep you
connected for one pre established period.
This makes it possible to avoid an abusive use of your account by
someone else. To remain
connected, notch the box by you connecting, this is not recommended if
you reach the forum by using a divided computer, ex:
library, cyber cafe, university, etc.

 |
| How
can I prevent that my name of user appears in the list of the users on
line?
In
your profile, you will find an option Hyde his presence on line, if you
choose Yes, you will appear only at the eyes of the administrators or
yourself. You will be
counted like an invisible user.

 |
| I
have lost my password!
Do
not panic!
If your password cannot be found, it can on the other hand be
re-initialized.
With this intention, to go on the page of connection and click on
I forgot my password, then follow the instructions and you to you
reconnected in one nothing time should be able.
Back to Top |
 |
| I
was registered but do not can connect me!
Firstly,
check that you entered correctly your name of user and password.
If they correctly be entered, then there are two possibilities.
If support COPPA is activated and that you clicked on the bond I
have less than 13 years at the time of the recording, then you will have
to follow the instructions which you received.
If it is not the case, then perhaps that your account needs to be
activated? Certain forums
require that all the new recordings are activated, either by yourself,
or by the administrator before being able to connect you.
When you were recorded, a message should have taught you if
activation is necessary or not. If
you received an e-mail, then follow the instructions which are there, if
you did not receive it, then are you of course that the address e-mail
which you provided during the recording is valid?
One of the reasons for which activation is used, it is to reduce
the chances to see users to misuse the forum anonymously.
If you are sure that the address e-mail whom you provided is
valid, then try to contact the administrator of the forum.
Back to Top |
 |
| I
was registered in the past, but do not can any more connect me?!
The
most probable reasons for this problem are:
you entered a name of user or incorrect password (check e-mail
which was sent to you when you were registered)
or the administrator removed your account for some reason. If you are in the last case, perhaps whereas you did not post
anything? It is usual for
the forums to remove periodically the accounts of the users not having
posted anything in order to reduce the size of the data base.
And you in the discussions imply try to still record you.

| PREFERENCES
AND PARAMETERS OF THE USERS |
| How
can I change my preferences?
All
your preferences (if you are recorded) are stored in the data base.
To modify them, click on the Profile bond (generally in top of
the pages, but that can not be the case).
This will enable you to change all your preferences.

 |
| The
hours are not correct!
The
hours are certainly correct, however, which you can see is the hours
posted in a time zone different from your.
If it is the case, should change your preferences in your profile
to you by choosing the time zone which is appropriate to you, ex:
London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc.
Please note that to change the time zone, as the majority of the
other options can be only carried out by the recorded users.
Therefore, if you are not recorded, it is the good hour to make
it, if you forgive the pun!
Back to
Top |
 |
| I
have change the time zone and the always incorrect hour east!
If
you are sure to have chosen the good time zone and that the hour is
always different, the most probable answer is the passage to the
summer-time. the forum was
not designed to manage the change between the hour of winter and the
summer-time, therefore during the summer, the hour will be shifted one
hour compared to the real standard time.
Back to
Top |
 |
| My
language is not in the list!
The
most probable reasons for this are that is the administrator did not
install your language on the forum, or that that is to say somebody did
not translate this forum in your language yet.
Try to ask to the administrator of the forum if it can install
the pack language for which you require, if there does not exist then
smell you free to create a new translation.

 |
| How
can I show an image below my name of user?
There
can be two images under your name of user when you read messages.
The first is the image associated with your row, generally they
take the shape of stars or of blocks indicating how much of messages you
made or your statute on the forum.
Below this one can be a named larger image misadventure, which is
generally single or personal to each user.
It is to the administrator of the forum to activate the
misadventures and to choose the way in which the misadventures will be
available. If you cannot
use a misadventure, that will want to then say that the administrator in
decided thus, you can contact it for him to require the reasons of them
(we are sure that they will be good!).
Back to
Top |
 |
| How
can I change my row?
Usually,
you cannot directly change the title of a row (the title of a row
appears under your name of user in the subjects of discussions and your
profile according to the topic used).
The majority of the forums use the rows to indicate the number of
messages which you posted, but also to identify certain users, ex:
the regulators and administrators can have a specific row which
is clean for them. Unnecessarily
want not poster on the forum with an aim of raising its row, you will
probably find a regulator or administrator which will lower you simply
the account of your total number of messages.

| When
I click on the e-mail link of a user, one asks me to be connected!
Afflicted,
but only the recorded users can send e-mail to people via the e-mail
form integrated into the forum (if the administrator would have
activated this functionality).
This, to avoid the malevolent use of the e-mail system by
anonymous users.

| How
can I publish or remove a message?
With
less than you are the administrator or regulator of the forum, you can
only publish or remove your own messages.
You can publish a message (sometimes only after one certain time
after it is posted) by clicking on the Editor button message concerned.
If somebody already answered your message, you will find a small
piece of text below your message while turning over to read it,
indicating the number of times that you published it.
This small text will not appear if nobody answered, it will not
appear either if a regulator or an administrator publishes the message
(they should leave a message explaining what they modified and why).
Please note that a user cannot remove a message once that
somebody answered there.

| How
I add a signature a my message?
To
add a signature to a message, you must initially create one of them,
while going in your profile. Once
created, you can notch the box Attach its signature during the
composition of a message to add your signature.
You can also add your signature to all your messages by notching
the suitable box in your profile (you will be able to always prevent
from attaching your signature to a message in particular by stripping
the box Attach his signature during his composition).

| How
can I create a survey?
To
create a survey is easy, when you post a new subject (or publish the
first message of a subject, if you have the right of it) should see a
part Add to you a survey in the form below the part Poster a new subject
(if you do not see it, it is that you probably do not have the right to
create surveys). You must
enter a title for the survey and at least two options (to define an
option, enter its name the fields suitable then click on the Add button
the option. You can also
define a limiting date for the survey, 0 is an infinite survey.
There is a limit for the number of options which you will be able
to establish, this limit is fixed by the administrator of the forum).
Back to
Top |
 |
| How
can I publish or remove a survey?
As
for the messages, the surveys can be only published by the postor of
origin, a regulator or an administrator.
To publish a survey, click on the button ' Editor' of the first
message of the subject (it always has the survey associated with him).
If nobody still voted, you can then remove the survey or to
publish any option of the survey, on the other hand, if a person already
voted, only the regulators and administrators will be able to publish it
or remove it. This to avoid
with people faking the surveys by modifying the options in the middle of
the duration of the survey.

 |
| Why
can't I accede to a forum?
Certain
forums can limit the access to certain users or groups.
To see, read, poster, etc you must have a special permit, only
the regulator and the administrator of the forum can grant this access,
you can contact them if you want it.
Back to
Top |
 |
| Why
can't I vote in a survey?
Only
the recorded users can vote in a survey (in order to avoid the faking of
the results).
If you were recorded and that you cannot still vote, then you
probably do not have the suitable rights of access.

| WORK
AND TYPES OF SUBJECTS |
| What
the BBCode?
BBCode
is a special implementation of the HTML, the activation of the use of
BBCode is determined by the administrator (you can also decontaminate it
on a message in particular during his composition). BBCode in itself is similar to the HTML style, the beacons
are contained in hooks [ and ] in the place of < and >, and offer
a better control on the way in which something must be posted. For more information on BBCode, see the guide, accessible
since the form from publication.
Back to
Top |
 |
| Can
I use the html?
This
depends on the administrator who allows it or not, it has a complete
control top. If you are
authorized to use it, you will go certainly accounts that only certain
beacons function. It is a
safety measure to avoid with people misusing the forum by using certain
beacons which could destroy page-setting or cause other problems.
If the HTML is activated, you can decontaminate it in a message
in particular during its composition.
Back to
Top |
 |
| What
is are smilies?
Smilies,
or Emoticons are small images which are used to express certain feelings
by using a small code, ex:
mean merry,: ( mean
sad. You can see the
complete list of emoticons during the composition of a message.
Try not to use these smiley wrongly, because they can quickly
make a message illegible and a regulator could decide to publish it and
even to entirely remove it.
Back to
Top |
 |
| Can
I poster of the images?
You
can show images inside your messages. However, it is not possible currently to directly send your
images on this forum. You
must thus create a bond towards your image stored on a public Web
server, ex: http://www.somewhere.net/my-image.gif. You cannot create a bond towards an image stored on your
computer (unless this one is a public Web server), nor an image stored
on a waiter requiring an authentification, ex:
the boxes e-mail Hotmail or Yahoo, sites protected by password,
etc. To post an image, you
can either use the BBCode beacon [ img ] or suitable beacon HTML (if you
are authorized there).

| What
are the advertisements?
The
Advertisements generally contain significant information, you should
thus read them as soon as possible.
The Advertisements appear in top of each page of the forum in
which it were posted. To be
able poster an advertisement depends on the required permissions, these
permissions are defined by the administrator.
Back to
Top |
 |
| What
is post-it?
Post-it
appear below the advertisements and only on the first page the forum.
They are often rather significant, you should thus read them as
soon as you can.
As for the advertisements, it is the administrator who determines
the permissions necessary for poster of Post-it in each forum.

 |
| What
is the subjects of discussions lock?
The
locked Subjects are locked, either by the regulator of the forum or by
the administrator. You
cannot answer the subjects of discussions locked and the surveys which
are contained there are cease automatically.
The subjects of discussions can be locked for many reasons.

| LEVELS
OF THE USERS AND GROUPS |
| Who
are the administrators?
The
Administrators are people who have the most level of control on all the
forum. These people can
control all the facets of the forum, this includes the adjustment of the
permissions, the banishment of users, the creation of user groups or
regulators, etc. They also
have all the capacities of moderations on all the forums.
Back to
Top |
 |
| Who
are the moderators?
The
Regulators are people (or groups of people) of which the goal is to take
care of the respect of the payment and the correct operation of the
forum every days. They have
the capacity to publish or remove the messages and to lock, unbolt,
remove and divide the subjects of discussions in the forum where they
moderate. Generally, the
regulators are there to avoid with people making out-subject or of
poster of the messages not respecting the payment.
Back to
Top |
 |
| What
are the users groups?
The
user groups is a manner for the administrator of gathering users.
Each user can belong to several groups (this differs from the
majority of the other forums) and each group can see itself assigned
rights of access. This
makes it possible to the administrator to manage easily various
regulators of a forum, or to give to give them access to a private
forum, etc.
Back to

 |
| How
can I join a user group?
To
join a user group, click on the bond User groups in top of the page (can
change according to the model of document), you will be able to then see
all the user groups. All
the groups are not open, some are closed and others can have their
invisible manpower. If the
group is opened, you can ask to join it while clicking on the suitable
button. The regulator of
the user group will have to approve your request, it could require the
reasons of you which push you to join the group.
Please not badger a regulator with group if it disapproves your
request, it has its reasons.
Back to
Top |
 |
| How
can I become the moderator of a user group?
The
user groups are initially created by the administrator, it also assigns
a regulator there. If you
are interested by the creation of a user group, the first thing to be
made will be to contact the administrator, try to leave him a private
message.

| PRIVATE
MESSAGE |
| I
cannot send private message!
It
y three reasons for that: you
are not recorded and/or be not connected, the administrator
decontaminated the transport deprived for the totality of the forum or
the administrator prevents you from sending private messages.
If you are in the last case, you should address to you to the
administrator to know the reason of it.
Back to
Top |
 |
| I
continue to receive not-desired private messages!
In
the future we will add a black list to the system of private transport.
For the moment, if despite everything, you continue to receive
not-desired messages, inform the administrator, it has the capacity to
completely prevent a user from sending private messages.
Back to
Top |
 |
| I
have received an abusive e-mail or spamming of somebody on this forum!
We
are pained to learn that. The
e-mail function integrated into the forum includes safeguards to try to
track the users who send messages of this type.
You should send an e-mail to the administrator with a complete
copy of the e-mail which you received, it is significant so that this
copy contains the headings (those provide a list of details concerning
the shipper). Then, the
administrator will be able to take repressive measurements which will be
essential.

| Who
do I have to contact in connection with the questions of abuse or
relative legality with this forum?
You
should contact the administrator of this forum.
If you are not able to contact it, you should initially contact
one of the regulators of the forum and ask them with which should make
contact to you. Please note that
the gggems.com does not have any control absolutely and cannot in no
case to be related on the manner, the place or the person which use this
forum. That is not absolutely
used for nothing to contact gggems.com for a question of legality
(slandering, etc.) not
having a direct relationship with the Web site gggems.com.
If you make an e-mail for gggems.com in connection with third
nobody of the use of this program, then you should expect an
third-answer or not response of the whole.
