How do I report an inappropriate post?
Send a PM to the forum moderator with a link to the post. A link to the post can be obtained by clicking the Link to Post area of the offending message and then copying/pasting the URL into the Private Message to the moderator.

The forum is slow at certain times.
Occasionally one of the banner ads may slow the board down. If you notice this, please send leave a post in the Cobblers Hut. Proboards is very proactive towards slow ads.

How do I make special characters, colors, smileys?
These items are available in the Post Reply box. Smileys can be clicked to be placed at the current place within the message.
To use other effects, select the text you wish to modify and then choose the effect from the menu, for example Bold or Underline. The text will then be placed within the UBBC code to create the effect.
The bulletin board supports UBBC and UBBC extended codes in most fields.

I noticed I can Modify or Delete a post?
Yes, FAStopia believes in it's membership and grants privilege to modify or delete a post. This is unusual for a forum and should not be abused. Generally acceptable use is to correct typos, or rephrase something, but not to change overall content or meaning of a message within a thread.
Also, when quoting other posters, you may trim the text down to address something in particular, but do not misquote others or alter their content to suggest they've stated things which they haven't.

I noticed I have the title Cash Account Trader? What is that?
Each member gets their experience designation based on the number of posts they have made. New members are Cash Account Traders until they hit a certain number of posts. They then become Margin Account Traders.
The levels and the post counts required are a mystery lost during board setup, so surprises await everyone. ;D

What are Bookmarks? How can I use them?A Bookmark is a way of selecting a thread you wish to watch for a long time. Their usefulness is best shown by way of example. To Bookmark a thread, find the icon at the top of the thread and click it once: Once Bookmarked, your entire list of selected threads can be viewed quickly from your profile page: Here is a sample Bookmark list. Note the easiest way to view your Profile is through the Top Menu item circled.
