Member Messaging Instructions

1. If you profile page is open and you've been busy with other things for a while, you can click the "Refresh" link to see if another member has left you a recent message.
   
   
2. On your profile page, clicking the "Clear All Messages" link will do just that.  Take care: once you clear or delete messages they cannot be retrieved.
   
   
3. The "Hide smilies" link will do just what it says using an XTML command.  When your smilies are hidden, the link will say "Show smilies". Click it to show smilies again.
   
   
4. To insert a smilie in a message; with your cursor blinking where you want the smilie to appear, click once on the smilie you want to show in the message and the program will place the appropriate code for that smilie in message. (Note: only code will show in the post field.)
    
5. Type your message in the message field and click the "Post Message" button.  Messages or replies you post in your own profile page you can delete. Messages you post in another members profile page you CANNOT delete.
    
6. When leaving a message for another member, if you check the "Private message" check box, an asterisk * will appear to the left of your user name. No other member will be able to see your message accept the intended recipient. Left un-checked, your message can be seen by all visitors if you've made your page "Public".
    
   
7. You can respond to messages left by other members in the messages module on your profile page and click post message.  If you are replying to a Private message, you will need to click on the member's username in the message. That will take you to their profile page where you can leave a Private Message reply if you want to keep the communication private.

Note On Descriptions: You cannot add a hyperlink to your caption or description, however you can make your caption/description a web address.  In the sample above you see hand made fiberglass helicopter scaled to fit the blades of a ceiling fan.  In the caption/description field I typed in his upcoming web address: www.HelicopterCeilingFan.com. So while this social site was not built to be a shopping cart, nothing says you can't show a web page address.
