Forum Rules

The rules of this Forum, from the provider and from the club, are:

• This forum is publicly visible, so avoid inflammatory or offensive subjects or comments. Try to keep your language reasonably clean, and try to keep to things vaguely related to SoAGC.
• Constructive criticism is fine, but abuse and obscenity are not, nor is committee-bashing. Please restrict yourselves to comments that you would make to somebody's face.
• Do not obscure your identity when you register
• The administrator of the forum is boardmaster@stratfordgliding.co.uk and is otherwise anonymous. Replies will come via webmaster@. The administrator has every right to delete, gag, or ban you for breach of these rules, so don't annoy them.
• The forum is for club members, and is not a committee vehicle. The administrator is a club member but not a committee member. Committee members are club members too, of course, but any posts by them represent personal opinions and not club policy.

Hints and Tips

Some useful things to know about this message board and how to use it:

• When you enter, you see a list of areas. These are major divisions of the site, and only experience will tell how those divisions will bed in. There's a board called Welcome which you can experiment freely with.
• In each area is a list of subjects. Subjects should be directly relevant - your rant about launch point practice won't be noticed if it's under the Tuesday's TLE Evening Cancelled. If you create a new subject, make sure the title is obvious. For example, a discussion about something on a particular date should be a new subject and the date should be in the title.
• Within each subject is a list of posts, which constitute a discussion on the subject. Click reply to add a post to the subject.
• There's a bar above the boxes that looks like this:
  Stratford Gliding Club :: Welcome :: Welcome :: Testing
  Navigate by clicking bits of this bar.
• Create a new subject by opening the area, where you will find a New Topic button. Topics and Subjects seem to be the same thing.
• The Latest Post tells you which subjects are active.
• Times are US MidWest, so add six hours. Once you're logged in, click Panel and Change my Preferences to get to a page where you can say what time zone you are in.
• Subjects are ordered by most recent post.
