Frequently Asked Questions


Why can't I post to the board?
This board has restricted posting privileges. To gain the ability to post to this board, the people who have originated one of the plots on the board must request that access be given.

Any abuse of this board will result in immediate removal of posting privileges.

Why doesn't my password work?
If you were given a username/password in order to post stories on a certain plot and you are trying to log in using Create Plot you are going in the wrong direction. Create Plot is for putting up new top-level threads.

In order to post stories to an existing thread you need to click on that thread's initial post (the one that all the other stories are in response to). That page will then have a form for you to use to post your story.

Why are some posters' names in grey italics?
tel'Mithrim members are able to sign their posts with a distinctive style: italic, grey text.

Any post signed in this way was made by a current member of tel'Mithrim. Any post signed in the default bold black, non-italic, was made by someone who is not a member of tel'Mithrim.

Examples :
Member
Non-member

Can I format the text in my posts?
You can use HTML in the body of the message.

Some Examples are :
<I>Italics</I> Italics
<B>Bold</B> Bold
<U>Underline</U> Underline
<FONT COLOR=red>Red</FONT> Red
<FONT SIZE=4>Bigger</FONT> Bigger
<FONT SIZE=2>Smaller</FONT> Smaller

Why didn't my post show up?
Your post most likely did not show up because your browser did not reload the page, it simply pulled it out of cache. Please reload the page and it should then appear.
