Q3: Why am I "The Silent Type"?
A3: We use the term "The Silent Type" to identify Forum visitors who have not made at least one post. If you are not sure you are ready to make a "real" post, try the New Forum Users (Non technical) forum. But be aware that since the New Users forum was created only for users to learn how to enter a post -- please do not post a technical question in this forum, which you require an answer to.

Q4: Why don't I appear in the Members List?
A4: You will appear in the Members List as soon as you make your first post -- to any forum, including the New Forum Users (Non technical) forum.

Q5: In the forums, why is my "last visit" shown as "Dec 31st, 1969 at 11:00 PM"?

Q6: How do I maintain a list of threads or topics I am interested in?

Click either of the following links to watch a short video on how to subscribe to informative threads.[ BroadBand High speed | Dialup - Low speed ]. Note: This subscription serves two purposes.
