support Hello,
Firstly I must say, I am an absolute beginner when it comes to forums. I'm aslo a computer dunce which doesn't help.eg: I don't even know what an EZ portal is.
I have taken advantage of the Create a Forum free for 45 days (I think it's 45days) in order to teach myself how to set up a forum. Up until now I've been a member of a forum, but I am determined to set up my own. I've looked at the Guide/Tudtorials section and I would be grateful if you could link me to a thread which may be able to assist me.
Also, whilst trying out various things, I wanted to see what happens when someone request a basic such as change username. This message came up:
To change this member's username, the forum must also reset their password, which will be emailed to the member with their new username.
I understood that as meaning because I was the one who set up a test forum, the password I used to set up the test forum I then had to change. Is that correct? Do I have to do that everytime someone wants a username chage? Also, the email sent to the person who wanted their username change included their IP no. Is that normal?
The other thing I should like to know and I hope you can help me, is the forum of which I am a member of uses SM2. When I set up my test forum, the page I was given looks very much like the forum of which I am a member. Does this mean I do not have to download SM2 and that it comes automatically with Create A Forum? Or do I have to download SM2 separately? Can I do it for the test forum in order to learn it.
I would apprecaite your assistance in this, but be warned I shall be asking a lot of questions. support
