Welcome to phpBB3 (Some Basic Instructions)

[message@cdcbaa.org]

Welcome to phpBB3. Some helpful tips to get the most out of our new message board:

After Registration (Settings to review in your User Control Panel (UCP))
1) If you want posts to be sent to your designated email (and reply from your email) —like our old Listserve on yahoo.groups functionality. Make sure:
a. Go to your UCP (top Right‐click your username then you will select UCP)
b. In the UCP at the menu ribbon Go To Board Preferences (after Profile)
c. On the left select Edit Posting Defaults‐ Make sure Notify Me Upon Replies is selected Yes (as it defaults to No). Then press Submit (If you do not want to receive email post
then make sure this is set for No)
d. Next (still in Board Preferences) Go To Edit notification options (this is 2 down from Edit Posting Defaults—on the left side menu)

i. Here you will want to make sure at least the following options have email checked:
‐Someone replies to a topic to which you are subscribed;
‐Someone creates a topic in a forum to which you are subscribed;
‐Someone replies to a topic to which you are subscribed
NOTE: there are other features you might want to select to receive email (e.g. Private Message or Someone quotes you) but the above is merely basic to make sure the email to post is working correctly for you
ii. If you don’t want to receive email to posts then you can not select email for the particular category in the Edit notification options.

2) Final Step to Make Sure you Don’t miss Posts. Make sure you are subscribed to the Forum(s):
a. Go To Overview in your UCP (next to Profiles)
b. On the left menu you will see Manage Subscriptions (below Frontpage). The default Subscriptions you should be subscribed to are (under Watched Forums): NEWS (read
only as used by President/ Admins/Moderators to Post Board New/Info); Questions; Office Space; Referral; Yahoo Old Posts (read only as this is achieve of our old Listserv Archive).
