Answer: |
| Why Can't I Log In? |
If you get the message:
- You have either typed in the wrong member name or the wrong password
- You have typed in the correct member name and password, but you haven't activated your account yet.
If you have forgotten your password you can order a new one by clicking on the I forgot my password link on the Login Screen:

However be aware that if you request a new password or you change your password through the Profile Settings your account will be temporarily disabled, and an email will be mailed to your email address with an activation link, that you must use to re-activate your account -- thus it is VERY IMPORTANT that your email address is valid and correct.

| Why do I have to keep logging in? |
- The most likely reason is that your browser does not allow the server to set a cookie on your system, if you keep seeing addresses like the following in your browser's location bar:
http://rrr.kimcm.dk/forum/viewforum.php?f=5&sid=fab890cd75ca993d16dbaa615c14c009
instead of:
http://rrr.kimcm.dk/forum/viewforum.php?f=5
You should allow cookies from the domain .kimcm.dk to be set on your computer, how to do this varies from browser to browser.
- If you leave your computer for an extended period of time while logged into the board, you will automatically be logged of unless you click on the checkbox labelled: Disable Inactivity Logout:

| How do I make a link to a topic? |

When you're looking at the thread you want to make a link to you can copy the address from the Location line in your browser, you can copy it into the post you're writing (works best with two open windows, one for posting and one to look at the thread with). Now there is three ways of putting the link into your document:
- AS-IS: -- Just insert the URL it exactly as you copied it:
http://rrr.kimcm.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1040
Result: http://rrr.kimcm.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1040
Pro: It's easy and quick. Con:It looks a bit "raw" and doesn't offer much explanation of the nature of the link.
- The BB-Code Way: -- Insert the URL inside the BB-Code brackets
[url]http://rrr.kimcm.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1040[/url]
Result: http://rrr.kimcm.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1040
Pro: Works all the time even when there are spaces or other special characters in the URL.
Con: Same as for method #1, as well as being a bit cumbersome for quick & dirty links.
- The "Fancy" Way: -- It is possible with BB-Code to replace the text of the link with some descriptive text:
[url=http://rrr.kimcm.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1040]Nikita's Thread: FIVE STAGES?[/url]
Result: Nikita's Thread: FIVE STAGES?
Pro: It gives you the possibility to explain what the link is about.
Con: Nothing, except a bit of typing.

| How do I make Quotes? |
To make quotes from external sources do the following:
- Use the
or buttons to enter the post message screen. Then enter your subject, and push the Quote button:
- Note that the string [quote] appears in the message text area, this string marks the beginning of your quote, and can either be left alone, or modified to show the source of your quote. If you leave it alone your quote will be preceeded by the text: Quote:, but I will show you how to reference your quote...
- Enter the text ="Satre" immediately after the word quote and before the closing ] (bracket) with no spaces. You can naturally enter another text than Satre, not all quotes are made by Jean-Paul Satre after all
. Then after the closing ] you enter the text of the quote, and when you're done entering your quote press the Quote button again (note that it is marked by a "*" to indicate that the quote isn't finished yet.
- Now your quote is finished and it will be preceded with the text Satre Wrote:. Now you can finish your post with what else you want to say, and post it by pressing the Submit button.
To quote another post do the following:
- Press the
button on top of the post that you want to quote:
- If you don't want to quote the entire post you can trim the text between the two tags [quote="dpoul34]" and [/quote] so that only the desired text is quoted. Then add your own text outside the quote and when you're finished you can Submit your post.
The manual way of quoting:
Just press the button when reading a thread, and start entering your text, and whenever you need to quote something enclose the quoted text with [quote] and [/quote] tags, either in the simple form as specified here or with the more fancy form: [quote="Somebody"].

| How Do I Use Other BBCodes? |
We already looked at some of the BBCode constructions like creating links and using quotes, but there is more to BBCode than that. The basic syntax for BBCode resembles HTML in that you have a start tag (e.g. [quote]) and an end tag (e.g. [/quote]) and some text in between... Let's look at some of the BBCode tags that you can use in your posts:
| Effect: | BBCode: | Visual Result: |
| Boldface | [b]Boldface[/b] | Boldface |
| Italics | [i]Italics[/i] | Italics |
| Underline | [u]Underline[/u] | Underline |
| Simple Quote | [quote]Yabbadabbadooo[/quote] | Quote:
|
| Named Quote | [quote="Frank Sinatra"]Doobeedoobeedoo[/quote] | Frank Sinatra Wrote:
|
| Code Section | [code]int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("Hello %s", argv[1]);
}[/code] | Code:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("Hello %s", argv[1]);
}

| Font Size | [size=8]Small[/size] [size=10]normal[/size] [size=14]bigger[/size] |
Small Normal Bigger |
It is possible to combine the BBCode tags, however you must close them in the opposite order of how you opened them, thus
[b][size=18]Big Bold[/b][/size] is illegal while:
[b][size=18]Big Bold[/size][/b] is legal.
