There are three ways

to view this forum:
1. as a Guest
2. as a Forum Member (labelled as a Member)
3. as

a Forum Member with a current ACA membership (labelled as an ACA Member)

Guests may view

only parts of the forum and post on only a small part of it. <span

style="color:#ff0000">TIP:</span> <u>When reading threads

of the posts here you'll find links to photos sometimes within the thread. If you were a member

of the Forum these photos would just appear within the thread automatically. You wouldn't have

to click each photo, each time you visit. Membership of the Forum is FREE. </u>

Members

may view a big part of the Forum and post on those parts. <span

style="color:#ff0000">Forum members may view other member profiles. Forum members may

now also use the PM(private message) facility.</span>

Members

that have current membership in the ACA may view practically all sections and take full part in the

activity. (There are some behind the scenes stuff too, (restricted to the staff) primarily just

toggles and switches, used by the staff) <span style="color:#cc0000"><!-

-/coloro-->We don't automatically check to see if you're an ACA Member. It's your

responsibility to send an e-mail to ron@fishpost.com and tell

him you're an ACA Member. When your membership has been verified, you'll see NEW areas

within the Forum list.</span>

<span

style="color:#3366ff">If you're a member, to enhance your experiences here, check

the upper right section at the top of your screen (MY CONTROLS, View New Posts, My Assistant, New

Messages). </span>

MY CONTROLS:
We have a profile area

for each member. The info below the screen name comes from the data entered there. Click on their

screen name for further info and alternate contact info. To get to your own, click on either the

"MY CONTROLS" near the top of your screen or your own screen name, enter only the info

you want shared. Telling us where you live allows us to know if you're nearby or on the other

side of the world from us. If you don't chat or IM, don't put anything in those places. If

you've got 6 e-mail addresses the one you prefer to use is probably the only one we need,

someone can also leave a message for you here.

*** If you feel you're famous and

don't want to mingle with those of us that aren't, you can still visit here and not be

bugged by us peasants. When you login just click the additional "login as invisible" box

and you can secretly view all the activities of your underlings, un-IM'd and un-messaged. If,

however, your screen name is known OR you feel compelled to post, eventually the fact that

you've been here will probably come out. Unlike a club meeting, you CAN slip in and out

undetected. You DON'T have to continue to visit us in a Guest status.

Location, as

well as some other important info, should also be in the text of ads in our TP section. The TP

section is an in-work process. As the people that post get asked questions about what airports they

use or alternate methods of shipping, they'll get tired of answering the same questions, again

and again, and will start including that info when they post. Of course, some will be slow to catch

on, so expect to have to question them.

<span

style="color:#3366ff">View New Posts:
If you're a frequent visitor here, by

clicking "Mark All Posts As Read" box at the bottom of the index, you'll find a fresh

slate each time you re-appear. New posts can be found by clicking the "View New Posts" at

the top of the screen. Topics that have received new posts will have the ACA emblem highlighted in

red on the left side of the topics in the index.</span> <!--

thread. Clicking on the small orange and white square to the left will take you to all posts that

have been added to the thread since your last visit.</span>

Spam and porn:
We monitor the board for spammers and porn posts. We delete such posts and

restrict the abusers from posting freely. Each subsequent post by them has to be approved by a

moderator before it's actually added to the board. </span>
