Message Boards for Dummies

OK, I love this board and since I will be banded in less than 2 weeks I plan to stick around for quite awhile.

But first I need some schooling in Message Board 101.

Happy Valentine's Day!

    Mr. Alex, board owner, has answered our questions about that upper right hand corner.

    Here's what he said:

    The "user reputation" was a waste and he removed it.

    Join date: is the date the user joined LBT.

    Posts: (ex. 57) is the total number of posts the user has made.

    Send a message via: Send an instant message by AIM, MSN, Yahoo, or ICQ... (if the user has this option enabled).
