It will be useful to newbites and oldtimers alike. It replaces the big-bunch-of-green-highlighted-posts that used to greet you at the top of the forums.</p> <p>First, you must read the <a href="http://bedbugger.com/terms-conditions/">Terms and Conditions</a> and <a href="http://bedbugger.com/privacy-policy/">Privacy Policy.</a> If you use the site, you're agreeing to abide by them. </p> <p>Next, please read the <a href="http://bedbugger.com/faqs/">Bedbugger.com FAQs</a> before posting. There's a lot of information there, and it can be overwhelming, so you may not be able to take it all in at once. But do have a look and see if your questions are covered. </p> <p>With that out of the way, here are some other things you'll want to know:</p> <p>You need to register to post in the forums. Please do NOT post your email address, street address, name, or phone number on the forums. This is for your protection. </p> <p>Consider using a pseudonym for your username. Avoid posting information in discussions which you think may identify you to neighbors, co-workers, landlords, if this is a concern.</p> <p>To start a new thread, click "Add new" on the top of the main forums page, or <a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/?new=1">click here.</a></p> <p>Before you add a post, you might want to know about tags. <a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/how-to-use-tags">This post explains tags and how to use them.</a></p> <p>You can also respond to someone using the "Quote" function to reply. <a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/new-quote-function">It's not completely straightforward, so read this thread first.</a></p> <p><a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/how-to-private-message-pm">How to send someone a private message (PM), or check your PMs.</a></p> <p><a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-get-a-cool-picture-next-to-my-name">How to get a cool picture (avatar) next to your name.</a></p> <p><a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/test-ignore-1">How to include an embedded video from youtube.</a></p> <p>Can I log into the forums and stay logged in at the blog, and vice versa?<a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/why-do-i-have-to-keep-logging-in-1">You should be able to, but right now there's a glitch you can read about here.</a> I hope it's fixed soon. In the meantime, make sure you are logged into the forums before posting here (or logged into the blog before commenting on the blog).</p> <p>Help, my post disappeared! Was it censored? Probably not. But it might be in the spam filter. <a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/nobugs-my-post-disappeared">Read this and find out what to do if it happens.</a> </p> <p>Finally, <strong> a WARNING</strong>: there have been instances where people have pretended to be "happy customers" (or friends of happy customers) when they actually were associated with the companies selling a product or service. It is against forum rules to advertise your products or services here. Doing so while masquerading as a member of the public is odious and unethical. If you are concerned that the "rave review" you're reading may be faked, please PM me. <a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/warning-to-bedbuggers-be-slightly-critical-of-rave-reviews">You can read a thread about this here.</a></p> <p>That's it. I will now be using the "green stickies" at the top of the forums only for essential information. If you see a second post there (besides this one), please read it!</p> <p>Thanks, and welcome. I hope the forums are a source of support and information to you.</p> <p>If you have problems, comments, complaints or warm fuzzies for me, click "PM THIS USER" under this post and send me a PM (private message)!
