Forum rules
GUESTS CAN POST in this forum WITHOUT JOINING. No one will see your post except me, so let me know if you want it made visible, in your post. That way you can message me in secret, if you want. The Problems and Suggestions subforums are for members only and not hidden.

Extra Smileys: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/misc.p ... _Editor_QR

Not moderated, so you are on your own. Spambots and stalkers and anti-semites will be deleted and banned without notice. Else, try to be thoughtful, protect your own privacy, don't swear much (makes one appear infantile), but I won't censor. POLICE YOURSELF. Substantive posts display maturity, even when being extremely critical.

REMINDER: you can always change your name

This isn't like other forums where once you pick a user name, you cannot change it. You always can. What happens, is that all your old posts change to the new name. You can always change your posts, delete them, whatever.
