Trouble Logging In

Makes sure you are logging in with your username and not your email address! If you have forgotten your username, use the lost password form and enter your email address, the new password email will contain your username too. Make sure caps lock is off. If you have entered your password incorrectly 10 times in a row, you will be locked out for 6 hours. You can try again after 6 hours has passed, however, reset your password rather than risk being locked out for a further 6 hours. When you do reset your password let your browser store it for you so you dont forget it in the future.

Web browser requirements

We support Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari. If you are not using the most up to date version of one of these, you will be requested to do so when asking for help. If you are using one of the browsers and its the most up to date version, but are still have problems, we recommend you reset your browser. Instructions on how to do this are further down the page.

Forgot login details

Click the forgot password link on one of the login boxes or click this link here Reset password. An email will then be sent to you detailing your username and instructions on how to reset your password.

Changing your password

• Go to your profile
• Click settings
• Click Click here to change your password. Or click this link Reset Password
• Click generate new password
• A new random secure password will be generated, you can either use this or replace it with your own.
• Tick confirm weak password (This option will only be displayed only if it considers your chosen password to be weak
• Scroll to the bottom of the page and click update profile

You will need to pick a strong password. include a capital, a number and a symbol. This doesn't have to be hard to remember. For example: If your normal password is london you could change it to London@1983 or preferably a longer memorable number at the end. (Like a phone number) I recommend using the lastpass plugin to store your passwords https://lastpass.com/

Changing your username

To change your username you need to contact a member of staff, everyone is allowed 1 username change. If we allowed users to change usernames at will, things could quickly get very confusing. Not to mention the fact it could also be abused by spammers etc.

Reporting and Ignoring a member

Each members profile has a report button, press it to report a user. To ignore a user in chat, click on there username in the right hand panel and select ignore, you can un-ignore in the same way. If all users in the chat room do this to the same user its as good as having a member banned. Which they likely will be once reported :-)

Sending Reading and Replying to Messages

Uploading and posting an image in the forum

How to delete your account

For security reasons, this is no longer possible. This is to prevent users impersonating others that have left. However, all your data can be wiped if requested.

How to resize and upload a profile photo

• Open your photo in paint
• On the home tab, select RESIZE
• Select PIXELS
• Change the highest number of the two numbers to 200
• Press OK
• Save the resized file as a new file
To upload the new photo
• Select profile
• Select change profile photo
• Upload that new file

If you are wondering why there is a limit, it is because the larger the file the longer it takes to upload, Whilst uploading you are taking up some of the limited bandwidth this site has to run on. The current file size limit is 500kb and dimension limit of 1200px

Galleries

Each user is allocated a maximum oh 10mb space for photos. However, you can have an unlimited amount of images if they are hosted somewhere else. For example; you can upload an unlimted amount of images to somewhere like imgur, flickr etc and have them appear here. All you need is the direct link address to the image. Its important the link is a direct link, otherwise the link wont be recognised as an image. Ill use imgur as an example. Using chrome. After uploading your image to imgur, right click the image and select 'Open image in new tab' The web address for the image in this tab is the direct link. Copy it into the alljoinon image upload form. See the video below.

Posting images on the forum

Get the direct image link as explained above. Press the "img" button on the forum reply form, paste in the direct image link.
