We invite you to browse all parts of the Bulletin Board, but in
order to participate by starting a new discussion or thread, by making
an announcement or replying to anything, you must register. Please
choose a good password; after all, you wouldn't want your name to
be on a comment that you didn't make, would you?
No anonymous posts. This is so that we can help keep
each other accountable for what we say and how we say it.
Please use your
real e-mail address so we can be in touch with you. If it turns
out that you have used a non-existent e-mail, we may delete all your
posts. You can hide your e-mail from others, but not from the administrator.
In order to reply or post you must be a registered member of the board.
The purpose of this is to stop the automated spammers who would otherwise
jam our forums with their messages inviting us to buy a certain stock,
a certain enhancing drug, or click on a web link to their best-in-the-world
porn site.
SO: here's how to register.
- First, get to the Board: put this link in your browser and hit "Go" or
press <Enter> rmcumc.org/Community/
- Then click on "Go to the Board!" at the top of the page. You'll
then be on the main screen of the Board where the very top of the screen
says "Welcome Guest. Please Login or Register." You'll see the
RMCUMC logo, the title of the Board, and the date and time. Right below
the words "Bulletin Board" you'll see this series of words:
Home Help Search Login Register.
- Click on the word Register.
- Choose a username that bears some resemblance to your real name
(no anonymous posts are allowed)
- Enter your valid e-mail address and choose whether you want others
to be able to read your e-mail address. If you want your
e-mail address hidden, click the box "Hide E-mail from public?"
- Choose a password that you can remember but others probably wouldn't
guess (you wouldn't someone else posting stuff in your
name that you don't agree with, right?)
- Type your password again to be sure you typed it right.
- Then read the graphic labelled "Your Verification Code" and
type the numbers/letters shown into the box below the graphic.
(If you can't
see the graphic, give me a jingle.)
- You'll see lots of verbage in the agreement, basically saying
you won't lie, cheat, steal, cuss, or abuse others,
that you will take responsibility for your own posts, and that you can
expand your
profile
with contact info,
icon, a signature, and personal message preferences.
- Click "I Agree" and then "Register"
Congratulations! You can post now. You can also click on the word "Profile" and
fill out lots of stuff about yourself -- if you wish.
How to post
First, go to the forum you wish to post in.
If you're wanting to reply to someone's reflections, choose/click
on their post and then click "Reply" at the top or bottom of
their post.
If you're wanting to put your own name or that of another clergyperson
forward, then choose/click "Start New Topic"
In both cases you'll be presented with a blank form in which you can post
your thoughts. If it's a "New Topic" don't forget to add a subject.
You have a limit of 5500 characters for your post.
When you're finished, click "Post" at the bottom of the message.
Spam Prevention
We have made this bulletin board for registered users only in an attempt
to hold down the automated spam posts that plagued the previous Community
Bulletin Board on this site. If a post appears that is of this type,
please let me know
as soon as possible so it can be removed.
Please know that it is
your responsibility to use reasonable care when deciding whether
to click on a link that may be in a post. The prohibition of anonymous
posts will help prevent the posting of links which might lead
to sites
which would lead to takeovers of your
computer for spam e-mail.
Go to the Board!
