Information for Forum Members

Who is who?

Everyone on NPLSA.com are considered equal - none more important than others, and every opinion counts. But, you might notice some people with their name in a different colour.

Red
Red is for Site Administrators - Site Administators can access everything, change anything and basically look after both the front end and back end of the system

Green
Green is for NPLSA.com Moderators - Moderators look after the general house keeping on the front end of the forum. They can control posts, moving, editing and deleting as required. They are part of the decision making process that goes in to what happens on the site.

Blue
Blue is for NPL Staff. NPL Staff don't have any extra abilites on the forum (apart from one or two who are also moderators) so the colour is there purely to identify who is a staff member of the NPL. If you are a staff member, just ask Garth to add you to this group.

Putting CARDS in your post

One of the nice things we have here is the ability to put pictures of playing cards in your post. This makes it easier to describe a hand or otherwise, and better to read for others.

To put a card in your post, simply, use the two letter abbreviation, surrounded by square brackets.

For example, to put the 7 of diamonds in your post, simply write [7d] and it will appear like this :



Make sure the letters are in lower case and there is a space between cards, so writing the 9 of spades and the 10 of spades would be [9s] [10s] - not [9s][10s]

Some handy tips...

1) Make sure you're logged in whenever you visit the forum. You will know if you are logged in by glancing up at the top left of the page. You must have cookies enabled for http://nplsa.com - by doing this you will only be presented with a dark blue npl logo next to each topic if there are new posts since your last visit that you haven't read yet. You can then see at a glance if there's any new posts in any of the main topics, and likewise in each of the sub-headings for those topics.



2) You can go straight to the new posts for each thread. If there's new posts in a topic heading you will notice the NPl logo is a dark blue. You will also notice just to the right of that a small icon that looks a little bit like a sheet of paper with a corner folded over. Hover your mouse pointer over this for a brief description of what it does - the answer is it goes straight to the new posts - this means you don't have to wade through a whole heap of old stuff that you have already read.
