HEY HEY LADIES!?!?
What do you think?! We're TOTALLY pysched! :partay:
[I know this is a little long but please read the whole thing. It may help you more than you think!!]
Obviously as you have noticed it's VERY different than the old forum!! So please play around with it for awhile, you'll pick it up quicker than you think! In the menu board across the top you'll see a link for "FAQ" the site has answered almost all the questions you could possibly think of so if you're having trouble check that out and if you're continuing to have trouble then please let one of the Admins know so they can help you out!!
"Quick links" is also found in the top menu bar. Within quick links you will find a link to your user control panel, I suggest getting into your user CP and checking out each of the links on the menu on the left. It will allow you to truly personalize your MTMH settings to you!
Some of the fun new features of the new board includes are, custom profiles, photo albums, and social groups!!
Your profile works a little bit like facebook or myspace would. You can add friends, message one another on your personal homepage and view statistics and information on how to contact one another outside the forum. Your profile will also contain your personal photo albums and your special groups.
Custom Profiles:
If you notice in your user CP you'll find a link that says "customize your profile". With this link you can pick the colors for background and text of each of the separate boxes that will show on your profile as well as what font you'd like it to be in! Choose any colors you would like! We suggest trying out several of the features on your profile after customizing it to make sure it's easy to read.
Photo Albums:
You will notice in your profile there is a link that allows you to upload pictures to your own personal photo album. It works similar to uploading individual pictures to most other sites. There is not a bulk uploader so please be patient!!
Special Groups:
Currently the special groups are by branch. There is one for each Army, Air Force, Marines, and Navy. Please only join the group in which your service member is a part of. This feature will allow you to speak with other ladies who are involved with that particular branch of the military.
And lastly just a few quick things you guys have expressed concern about with switching to the new forum.
We will update your post counts!! Please be patient there are quite a few of you and it will take some time!
If you were a member of Love & Sex or War News on the old forum PLEASE do not PM the Admin's and request access. We will have this information switched over as quickly as we can. On the other hand if you did not have access to the L&S board or War News and you would like access on the new forum please PM an admin so we can get you set up with that as well.
Please make sure you read and sign the sticky posted in forum announcements titled "OPSEC: Operational Security". I know we all know what it is but we would like you to re-read the rules, we're hoping we've re written them to be a little more clear. Starting with the new board we will begin to be a little more strict with this! Please keep in mind that it's for the safety of our men!!
Again if you're having trouble figuring something out please reference the FAQ link! And if that doesn't help again, please contact one of the administrators! Please remember we're working on quite a few things to get you guys set up and we might not be able to answer your question right away but we will get to you as quickly as we can!
Last but not least HAVE FUN!! WE HOPE YOU LOVE IT AS MUCH AS WE DO!!! :heartbeat:
:cheer: FOR ERIN!! For all of your hard work! And for you Christy and Danie :foryou: for all of the support and helping Erin out!!
