Navigation
To bounce around the forum, above this board on the left and right hand side, you will see a number of links and buttons. You will also find a link to your Message 'Inbox' Where you can communicate with members of the board.
Private Messages
Whilst on the board you can send private messages, simply click on the persons name and a little menu will pop up, just select PM and the rest is straight forward..... Please note you must be a member to benefit from this facility.
What is Mana?
The Black Forum uses an advanced iterative algorithm to determine the most respected users. A user "adds mana" to other users she/he respects, and the more mana she/he has, the more the increase in recipients' manas. A user can also change their mind, and remove mana from someone to whom they added mana before. However, the more members a member adds mana to, the less the effect of those mana additions.
For example, let's assume that your mana is 3 out of 4. If you want to add mana to someone then you basically add him/her 3 points divided by the number of members to whom you added mana before. If you added mana to one member before, the amount of mana you would add is 3/(1+1)=1.5 points. This is a dynamic process. Whenever someone adds or removes mana, the manas of all members are calculated from scratch.
Finally, mana takes the normal distribution rule into account, and it gets increasingly accurate as you get more members.
Pop-up User Menus
The Black Forum greatly reduces the number of buttons and icons that clutter the screen by moving them to pop-up menus that only appear when you click a clearly marked username. A pop-up user menu contains the following options (some may be grayed out depending on the information provided by users).
- View Profile
- Send a Private Message
- Send E-mail
- Visit Homepage
- AIM
- ICQ
- MSNM
- YM
- Add Mana
Spell Check
You can now spell check your post before submitting, by simply pressing on the ABC tick on the post tool bar, this will then highlight the word that are incorrect, if you click on the highlighted words it will bring up a box with suggested words for the correct spelling.
