The following are questions that frequently come up on the board,
as well as a collection of links that have been popular recently.

Changing your username
You may only change your username once, so make sure you pick the one you really want! You can find a new username on the following page:

Check username availability
 
What are the rules for posting on the message board?
The "Rules of the Board" are linked to in the form where you post new messages.
 
How do I get an icon next to my name?
You can get an icon, and more, by donating to the board. Your donations help us keep the board running, and pay for hosting fees as well as hardware costs. See the donations page for more details.
 
What is the "Trust Level" for other users?
For donors, there is an option for setting the "Trust Level" you have for other posters. Using the trust levels you set, we then create a "Web of Trust" to find other people that you should trust. For instance, if I trust El Jefe, and he trusts Boardman, then the Web of Trust suggests that I should trust Boardman. However, because Boardman isn't directly trusted by me, a percentage is taken off the trust level.

The "Web of Trust" is updated nightly, so changes that affect you indirectly won't show up until the next morning.

How do I post a link?
To post a link, simply include the URL in your post, with white space surrounding it. Make sure to include the http:// at the beginning or it may not link properly. For example:

http://college.espn.go.com/ncf/index
 
How do I post an image?
To post an image, it must first be uploaded somewhere on the web. Then, in your post, simply add the following HTML:

<img src="http://www.domain.com/image.jpg">
HTML will be taken care of automatically.
 
My religious debate post was deleted. Why?
This isn't a religious debate board. If you're interested in religious discussion, please go to an LDS message board such as LDSTalk.com.
