Code of Acceptable Behaviour -In registering as an active participant in these Forums, members agree that they will not post any information which is abusive, vulgar, harassing, hateful, threatening, distasteful, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented, or violates any laws including copyright law. Postings containing such material, or postings considered inappropriate by the majority of members, may be edited or deleted by the Moderators at their discretion. Repeated offences may result in the offender being excluded from these Forums. Individuals may only register once under their own name or a pseudonym. Persons found to be using more than one registration may be excluded from the Forums. Alternatively, the Moderators may take action to reduce multi-registrations to a single one.

You've probably seen others use smilies before in e-mail messages or other bulletin board posts. Smilies are keyboard characters used to convey an emotion, such as a smile or a frown . This bulletin board automatically converts certain text to a graphical representation when it is inserted between brackets [].  Here are the smilies that are currently supported by Angmering Forums:

smile [:)] big smile [:D] cool [8D] blush [:I] tongue [:p] evil [}:)] wink [;)] clown [:o)] black eye [B)] eightball [8]

frown [:(] shy [8)] shocked [:0] angry [:(!] dead [xx(] sleepy [|)] kisses [:X] approve [^] disapprove [V] question [?]

There are several Forum Codes you may use to change the appearance of your text.  Following is the list of codes currently available:

Moderators control individual forums. They may edit, delete, or prune any posts in their forums. For instance, Moderators may edit a post slightly if they think it requires clarification to prevent misunderstanding by readers, but such editings will normally be minimal. If you have a question about a particular forum, you should direct it to your forum moderator.

These Forums use cookies to store the following information: the last time you logged in, your Username and your Encrypted Password. These cookies are stored on your hard drive. Cookies are not used to track your movement or perform any function other than to enhance your use of these forums. If you have not enabled cookies in your browser, many of these time-saving features will not work properly. Also, you need to have cookies enabled if you want to enter a private forum or post a topic/reply.

You may delete all cookies set by these forums in selecting the "logout" button at the top of any page.

You may edit your posts within 30 minutes of the original posting. Just go to the topic where the post to be edited is located and you will see an edit icon () on the line that begins "posted on..." Click on this icon to edit the post. No one else can edit your post, except for the forum Moderator or the forum Administrator. NB - You must be logged on to edit your posts. A note is generated at the bottom of each edited post displaying when and by whom the post was edited. Note - The policy of these Forums is for no amending of grammer or spelling mistakes (or missed word) more than 30 minutes after the original posting. No additional sentences or paragraphs may be added after the original posting. Once posted, a post may not be deleted without the agreement of the moderator (see delete icon above).

For security reasons, you may not attach files to any posts. However, you may cut and paste text into your post.

You may search for specific posts based on a word or words found in the posts, user name, date, and particular forum(s). Simply click on the "search" link at the top of most pages.

The Forum does automatically censor certain words that may be posted; however, this censoring is not an exact science, and is being done based on the words that are being screened, so certain words may be censored out of context. By default, words that are censored are replaced with asterisks. Additionally, Moderators may censor abusive or libellous comments. Remember, however, that posters are responsible for statements they make and they indemnify the Angmering Forums' owner, moderators and administrators for any comment which the poster has made which readers of these Forums may find inaccurate or offensive.

Changing a lost password is simple, assuming that e-mail features are turned on for this forum. All of the pages that require you to identify yourself with your Username and Password carry a "lost Password" link that you can use to have a code e-mailed instantly to your e-mail address of record that will allow you to create a new password. Because of the Encryption that we use for your password, we cannot tell you what your password is.

Yes, the Subscription feature allows you to subscribe to the entire Board, individual Categories, Forums and/or Topics, depending on what the administrator of this site allows. You will receive an e-mail notifying you of a post that has been made to the Category/Forum/Topic that you have subscribed to. There are four levels of subscription:

- Board Wide Subscription
If you can subscribe to an entire Board, you'll get a notification for any posts made within all the forums inside that board. (not activated by Angmering Forums)

- Category Wide Subscription
You can subscribe to an entire Category, which will notify you if there was any posts made within any topic, within any forum, within that Category.

- Forum Wide Subscription
If you don't want to subscribe to an entire Category, you can subscribe to a single forum. This will notify you of any posts made within any topic, within that forum.

- Topic Wide Subscription
More conveniently, you can subscribe to just an individual topic. You will be notified of any post made within that topic.

Each level of subscription is optional. The administrator can turn On/Off each level of subscription for each Category/Forum.
To Subscribe or Unsubscribe from any level of subscription, you can use the "My Subscriptions" link, located near the top of each page to manage your subscriptions. Or you can click on the subscribe/unsubscribe icons ( ) for that Category/Forum you want to subscribe/unsubscribe to/from.
