Welcome to Forever His!
We've put together this informative overview of our site to help familiarize you with personalizing your experience and using our exciting site features.
Settings and Personalization
Your Profile is where you will do the majority of your personalization. Under your Profile, the link is located at the top of the pag, you'll see a list of tabs on the top which are used to navigate to different areas of your profile.
Signature: your signature is attached under every post you make on our forums. You may customize any way you'd like and as often as you'd like.
Avatar: your user avatar is the little picture that shows up under your user name, next to each post you make. You may use your own avatar or choose one from our avatar gallery.
Information: There are several customizable fields under your information. You can edit the various profile fields such as your biography and location, reset your password, update your email, add a homepage URL and enter your username handles for any instant messengers you have.
Preferences: under your preferences, you can set all of your forum preferences for things such as email alerts, private messaging, and thread/forum display.
Topics Being Watched: you can see the topics that you are watching for replies and choose what you want to watch and what you don’t want to watch.
Forum Usage
New Topics and Replies:
Our message boards are broken up into different categories of interest. Before making a new thread, please make sure you are posting under the proper category. All of the forum categories can be see by visiting the main page of the message boards.
A button similar to this
can be found towards the top and bottom within each forum, and is used for posting a new discussion.
Within each discussion, you will see a button similar to this
which will enable you to reply within that discussion.
Posting a Poll:
• To post a poll while you are posting a new thread, scroll down to "Add a Poll" below the "Submit New Thread" button. You'll see a box you can check to submit a poll. Check that box and enter the number of poll options you'd like to have (don't worry, you can add more options or leave some out when you're posting your poll on the next page).
Thread Subscription:
If you wish to keep track of a specific thread, you may wish to use thread subscription. Thread subscription will keep track of important threads in three different ways:
• When visiting your control panel, you can bring up a full list of your threads you are watching
• By enabling email notification, you can choose to receive emails when a subscribed thread receives new replies.
Search:
Forever His has a search feature which you can use to search all the forums at once, one specific forum or even within one specific thread. To search a specific forum or thread, you will see an option at the top of the forum in the links below the banner.
Adding Pictures:
To add pictures to your posts and/or signature, you will need to first upload the picture to a free photo hosting website, such as www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.us or www.shutterfly.com
Once you have uploaded your pictures there, the URL needs to be inserted between the [ IMG ] and [ / IMG ] tags (take the spaces out). If you use photobucket or imageshack, they both offer a line of code to copy that's already been placed between the IMG tags for you.
