WebBoard Help - Registered Users
Once you successfully login, the following page will be displayed (this
is the Frame Enabled page, if you had chosen the No Frame option, your
Webboard will look different)
On the left hand side are a list of all conferences.
Below, the top navigational bar is shown with options
described.
By clicking on "MORE..." the following menu will
show
Two main features are
1. Edit Your Profile - allows user to change personal information
and settings
2. Email Notification - allows user to select conferences in which
to receive notification if a new message is posted.
Below are detailed description of your choices under the
"Edit You Profile" option.
(1)
Hide Email
Check No to hide your email address from other users. Mailing lists and
email notification will still work. (2) Accept Pages
This option lets you determine whether you will receive pages. A yes means
that if another user pages you, a message will appear in your browser. A
No prevents pages from interrupting you.
(3) Use Frames
This option allows you to turn off frames when viewing WebBoard. The
default is Yes, use frames, which means WebBoard displays both the
Conferences list and the message window at the same time. If your browser
doesn’t support frames or you find frames too slow for your connection,
choose No for this option.
(4) Full Topic View
This option allows you to switch between viewing messages in full topic
view or one-at-a-time view. The default is Yes, full topic view, which
means that the message you select and all subsequent messages posted to a
topic are displayed in the message window. If you select No, only one
message is shown at a time, and you must click a link to show the next
message in the topic. We recommend using full topic view.
(5) Reverse Topic Order
WebBoard lists topics in chronological order. This option lets you decide
whether to start with the most recent or the oldest. A Yes means topics
are listed from newest to oldest. Select No to view topics with the oldest
first.
(6) Automatically mark new messages read
Select Yes to have WebBoard automatically mark messages as read every time
you log off or after 30 minutes of inactivity. When messages are marked
automatically, the next time you log into WebBoard, all the messages
posted since your last visit are marked as new. Select No if you want to
mark messages as read yourself. In that case, you must mark messages as
read by clicking Mark Read on the menubar and then using the Mark Messages
Read page to specify in which conferences you want to mark messages read.
If you select No, messages remain marked as New no matter how many times
you log off until you use Mark Read to mark them as read manually.
(7) Mailing List Format
This option allows you to choose which format WebBoard uses to send you
mailing lists. The three formats are
- non-digest, messages sent individually when they are posted;
- digest, messages sent once a day in a single email message that is
indexed by message;
- digest/ZIPped, messages put into digest format and then zipped
up to compress the size of the email.
