FAO: New Members - Please Read !

[James]

Welcome !

 

Firstly - welcome to our wonderful forums and thank you very much for signing up ! We're 100% certain you will not regret it and you will meet LOTS of really nice people on here who are into your music & clubs ...

 

The very first thing you should do is to post in the Welcome New Members forum and introduce yourself to the other members - these posts normally get a good response - especially if you let us know where you live and what clubs and music you are into.

 

Should you have any other problems using the message board or other parts of the site please email Crew@ClubTheWorld.uk Thanks! James. 9/1/2003

 

Private Messages (PMs)

 

One of the great tools in this community is the ability to send secure private messages to the other members. Your real name / email is never disclosed and its safer & quicker to use this method than email/phone etc... PMs are proving very popular and an excellent way to gossip ! No one has the ability to read your Private Messages unless they get hold of your password - so dont disclose this to anyone. Your password is encrypted and not even myself or SarahPVC, as administrators, can access it. Its up to you whether you delete your private messages or keep them forever ! O yeah, and your inbox is also Spam Free!

 

User Titles

 

When you first register your 'title' is set to 'New Member !'. This changes over time to other titles based on the number of posts you make but a lot of our members do more reading than posting and so their titles stick to the default, so 'New Member !' can be a bit mis-leading. Everyone has the opportunity to have their title changed - all you have to do is Private Message (PM) either myself (James) or SarahPVC with the new title you want - all we ask is that you dont get silly and want it changed every other week ! Sometimes we make up titles for people who dont have them set, but only once we've got to know you properly.

 

Update Your Profile

 

When you first register none of your profile questions will be filled in so please go to the 'My Profile' link on the menu at the top and complete as many questions as you can - you will find that people are far more likely to PM/communicate with you once they know a bit about you.

 

You can also change your display settings such as colours used in the forums and whether you want to be visible to other members in the Who's Online screen.

 

MSN Messenger Passports

We used to have a Live Chat area on the site but it slowed the site down so much we had to remove it. The best way of chatting in 'real time' with other members/your friends/family is to use the MSN Messenger client - you can download this from www.microsoft.com You need to set up a special 'Passort' which is in the shape of an email address like 'yourname@hotmail.com'. It would be really handy if you told the other members what your passport name is so they can add you to their contact list (you can always block them if you fall out! lol). So can you please add your id to this post ... cheers! ...
