A Guest Author is someone who wants to post an article or series of articles on a subject. Just let me know what you want to write about and when. The articles will be featured and added to the announcements.
You can do them yourself or if you know someone who has something special to offer - ask them to join and write about a topic.
This forum is used by members with different software setups, screen resolutions and browsers. Although the forum is tested on many combinations - it is not tested on all of them. If you are using a browser that can be set to smaller, larger or different magnifications of the screen size, setting your screen to 100% should fix this problem.
PM me with the names of the members an avatar and it will be set up.
You can designate an avatar and a color that will be visible on all members names.
YES! In fact thats the purpose of this forum. To provide you with a place where other players meet so you can all exchange ideas and experiences and information on poker.
Just goto the category on the first page titled GUEST AUTHOR and start.
If you have an interest, an experience or some poker topic you'd like to write - the forum can host your writing and feature you in as a Guest Author...
It is improper and not permissible to give passwords to games and not respect the games host restrictions. Most passwords are earned or given to members and not to be given to those not within the membership group.
Open posting or discussing any passwords in chat here is not allowed.
When a host allows the password to be given for a promotion or some reason of their own they have to send me an e-mail or PM that they will allow the password to be given out. In that case a forum will be created for members to access the password but it cannot be written or discussed in an open area of the board. I am fully aware that this is a widespread problem, some forums are obsessed with this issue I am not - it simply won't be allowed or permitted.
I would suggest that anyone asking you for restricted passwords disrespects you and the host. If it is a matter of joining, particularly since the vast majority of poker forums are free, tell them to join then they can assure themselves of getting the password themselves and not jeopardize your memberships in both forums. If the issue is that they've been banned from the forum in question, the answer is self-evident.
Any member can be a guest author.
A Guest Author is someone who wants to post an article or series of articles on a subject, preferably poker related, they feel is of interest to the forum member.
Just let me know what you want to write about and when and the forum will feature you and your articles.
You and a photo or avatar of your choice will be featured in the announcement displayed whenever anyone accesses the site and your articles will be placed in the special guest authors section of the forum.
You can do the articles yourself or if you know someone who has something special to offer - ask them to join and suggest the topic.

Most video's are hosted off-site at youtube, AOL or some other source. Unless the poster owns the video or post, if the host moves it, it is not accessible by the original link. Notify the poster, normally if they can locate it they'll update the link if not, you may have to google it yourself.
There is a google search box at the bottom of the second page of this forum, you may be able to locate the post, if it is still in an accessible location.
When you are in the forum while making a post you will see the Smilie Faces smilies and a drop down menu titled "view more emoticons".
This menu has two options "Smilie Faces" and "Smilie Cards". Except when choosing which smilies to use, both do not appear at the same time.
Simply click the Smile Cards. This displays a deck of cards. When your cursor is where you want to place a card, click the card to insert it in your post.
Yes, if the author authorized you to do it IE it's not a pirated song or video. If it is not something in the public domain it cannot be posted.
To post music or a video with copyright restriction and no authorization of the author exposes you to litigation and problems for the forum.
This rule also applies to the extracts of emissions TV, concerts or anything not publicly permissible to post...
If the post includes audio, do not post it with the audio automatically on. This allows the visitor to make their own decision as to whether they want to listen to the post or not
Yes? You will see two commands "Image" and "host image".
Image
Allows you to upload or paste an image directly into the post or link it to your post from at site that hosts images.
Host Image
Allows you to post the image, via an internet address, to your post. This method makes your images publicly available to anyone who can identify the link, this can be done in some cases, by simply passing your cursor over the image. Pasting the link then makes the image visible in your post.
* Images in the forum are hosted at an internet image hosting site named SERVIMG.COM. When you first try to host an image, you will be required to provide your e-mail address and open an account with this service - it is free. BE careful what you post because public hosting makes the image available to anyone.Be sure it won't be a problem if the photo turns up somewhere else. You may want to take a look at the site first before joining.
You're right. Much of the data and images on any internet forum is in different places. Sometimes a particular server is down or slow. If the server containing the data (images, text) is down the forum cannot retrieve the data and that area of the forum will appear missing. If a site is slower than the others it's image will appear to "hold up" the display. It seems that the FreeRoll monitor is not retrieved as quickly as others.
Another possible cause could be that your firewall may blocking the information. Double check your firewall settings.
If a post is missing and you have not been notified PM me immediately - this should normally not happen. There will be no big deal of blocking posts unless they are illegal, over the top cursing or namecalling, pornographic, breaches of copyright law or are gratuitously derisive of other members or forums. You will always be notified and given a chance to edit the post. The expectation is not that we all disagree on all topics but that we are able to disagree like adults.
The only posts that will be routinely removed are those in the FeedBack / Suggestion box section or posts linking to sites we feel do not protect its members. If you receive PM's promoting these sites or sites you find questionable PM Admin. When these posts are reviewed you'll be notified whether the idea can be implemented - at this time it will be removed.
You cannot post links to other sites without advising me - unlike many forums we are not automatically adverse to affiliations with other forums but we will not post advertisements for other sites that compete with ours (for example, sites that have a requirement to use a service they have that we have here like software. A major way that all sites support themselves is through its members using its services - hopefully you want the site to succeed and will use it's facilities). Do not compound advertisements of affiliates. Typically affiliate items on the site are there by agreement adding, altering or independently placing promotional items may cause conflict with that affiliate. If an affiliate is doing something you think we've missed let me know. Members have to use the links in the forum to access other sites, download software, join services - that is of utmost importance to the success of the forum. If you locate a poker, travel, entertainment related service you feel is of value to others - let me know and I'll try to include it. When a posting is moderated and it includes links the links will be removed. If you use another sites links for a service you have to ask them for help if problems develop.
"BUMPING" an important announcement
When you create or edit an important or current post, go to the bottom and click announcement or post-it and the post will stay at the top. "Bumps" are unnecessary takes unnecessary space and will be deleted.
Have you registered? Seriously, you must register in order to log in. Have you been banned from the board? (A message will be displayed if you have.) If so, you should contact the webmaster or board administrator to find out why. If you have registered and are not banned and you still cannot log in then check and double-check your username and password. Usually this is the problem; if not, contact the board administrator -- they may have incorrect configuration settings for the board.
You may not have to -- it is up to the administrator of the board as to whether you need to register in order to post messages. However, registration will give you access to additional features not available to guest users such as definable avatar images, private messaging, emailing to fellow users, usergroup subscription, etc. It only takes a few minutes to register so it is recommended you do so.
If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you log in, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university cluster, etc.
In your profile you will find an option Hide your online status; if you switch this on you'll only appear to board administrators or to yourself. You will be counted as a hidden user.
Don't panic! While your password cannot be retrieved it can be reset. To do this go to the login page and click I've forgotten my password. Follow the instructions and you should be back online in no time.
First check that you are entering the correct username and password. If they are okay then one of two things may have happened: if COPPA support is enabled and you clicked the I am under 13 years old link while registering then you will have to follow the instructions you received. If this is not the case then maybe your account need activating. Some boards will require all new registrations be activated, either by yourself or by the administrator before you can log on. When you registered it would have told you whether activation was required. If you were sent an email then follow the instructions; if you did not receive the email then check that your email address is valid. One reason activation is used is to reduce the possibility of rogue users abusing the board anonymously. If you are sure the email address you used is valid then try contacting the board administrator.
The most likely reasons for this are: you entered an incorrect username or password (check the email you were sent when you first registered) or the administrator has deleted your account for some reason. If it is the latter case then perhaps you did not post anything? It is usual for boards to periodically remove users who have not posted anything so as to reduce the size of the database. Try registering again and get involved in discussions.
All your settings (if you are registered) are stored in the database. To alter them click the Profile link (generally shown at the top of pages but this may not be the case). This will allow you to change all your settings.
The times are almost certainly correct; however, what you may be seeing are times displayed in a timezone different from the one you are in. If this is the case, you should change your profile setting for the timezone to match your particular area, e.g. London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc. Please note that changing the timezone, like most settings, can only be done by registered users. So if you are not registered, this is a good time to do so, if you pardon the pun!
If you are sure you have set the timezone correctly and the time is still different, the most likely answer is daylight savings time (or summer time as it is known in the UK and other places). The board is not designed to handle the changeovers between standard and daylight time so during summer months the time may be an hour different from the real local time.
The most likely reasons for this are either the administrator did not install your language or someone has not translated this board into your language. Try asking the board administrator if they can install the language pack you need or if it does not exist, please feel free to create a new translation. More information can be found at the phpBB Group website (see link at bottom of pages)
There may be two images below a username when viewing posts. The first is an image associated with your rank; generally these take the form of stars or blocks indicating how many posts you have made or your status on the forums. Below this may be a larger image known as an avatar; this is generally unique or personal to each user. It is up to the board administrator to enable avatars and they have a choice over the way in which avatars can be made available. If you are unable to use avatars then this is the decision of the board admin and you should ask them their reasons (we're sure they'll be good!)
In general you cannot directly change the wording of any rank (ranks appear below your username in topics and on your profile depending on the style used). Most boards use ranks to indicate the number of posts you have made and to identify certain users. For example, moderators and administrators may have a special rank. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank -- you will probably find the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count.
Sorry, but only registered users can send email to people via the built-in email form (if the admin has enabled this feature). This is to prevent malicious use of the email system by anonymous users.
Easy -- click the relevant button on either the forum or topic screens. You may need to register before you can post a message. The facilities available to you are listed at the bottom of the forum and topic screens (the You can post new topics, You can vote in polls, etc. list)
Unless you are the board admin or forum moderator you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post (sometimes for only a limited time after it was made) by clicking the edit button for the relevant post. If someone has already replied to the post, you will find a small piece of text output below the post when you return to the topic that lists the number of times you edited it. This will only appear if no one has replied; it also will not appear if moderators or administrators edit the post (they should leave a message saying what they altered and why). Please note that normal users cannot delete a post once someone has replied.
To add a signature to a post you must first create one; this is done via your profile. Once created you can check the Add Signature box on the posting form to add your signature. You can also add a signature by default to all your posts by checking the appropriate radio box in your profile. You can still prevent a signature being added to individual posts by un-checking the add signature box on the posting form.
Creating a poll is easy -- when you post a new topic (or edit the first post of a topic, if you have permission) you should see a Add Poll form below the main posting box. If you cannot see this then you probably do not have rights to create polls. You should enter a title for the poll and then at least two options -- to set an option type in the poll question and click the Add option button. You can also set a time limit for the poll, 0 being an infinite amount. There will be a limit to the number of options you can list, which is set by the board administrator
As with posts, polls can only be edited by the original poster, a moderator, or board administrator. To edit a poll, click the first post in the topic, which always has the poll associated with it. If no one has cast a vote then users can delete the poll or edit any poll option. However, if people have already placed votes only moderators or administrators can edit or delete it; this is to prevent people rigging polls by changing options mid-way through a poll
Some forums may be limited to certain users or groups. To view, read, post, etc. you may need special authorization which only the forum moderator and board administrator can grant, so you should contact them.
Only registered users can vote in polls so as to prevent spoofing of results. If you have registered and still cannot vote then you probably do not have appropriate access rights.
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. Whether you can use BBCode is determined by the administrator. You can also disable it on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page.
That depends on whether the administrator allows you to; they have complete control over it. If you are allowed to use it, you will probably find only certain tags work. This is a safety feature to prevent people from abusing the board by using tags which may destroy the layout or cause other problems. If HTML is enabled you can disable it on a per post basis from the posting form.
Smileys, or Emoticons, are small graphical images which can be used to express some feeling using a short code, e.g. :) means happy, :( means sad. The full list of emoticons can be seen via the posting form. Try not to overuse smileys, though, as they can quickly render a post unreadable and a moderator may decide to edit them out or remove the post altogether.
Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).
Announcements often contain important information and you should read them as soon as possible. Announcements appear at the top of every page in the forum to which they are posted. Whether or not you can post an announcement depends on the permissions required, which are set by the administrator.
Sticky topics appear below any announcements in viewforum and only on the first page. They are often quite important so you should read them where possible. As with announcements the board administrator determines what permissions are required to post sticky topics in each forum.
Locked topics are set this way by either the forum moderator or board administrator. You cannot reply to locked topics and any poll contained inside is automatically ended. Topics may be locked for many reasons.
Administrators are people assigned the highest level of control over the entire board. These people can control all facets of board operation which include setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc. They also have full moderator capabilities in all the forums.
Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) whose job it is to look after the running of the forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material.
Usergroups are a way in which board administrators can group users. Each user can belong to several groups (this differs from most other boards) and each group can be assigned individual access rights. This makes it easy for administrators to set up several users as moderators of a forum, or to give them access to a private forum, etc.
To join a usergroup click the usergroup link on the page header (dependent on template design) and you can then view all usergroups. Not all groups are open access -- some are closed and some may even have hidden memberships. If the board is open then you can request to join it by clicking the appropriate button. The user group moderator will need to approve your request; they may ask why you want to join the group. Please do not pester a group moderator if they turn your request down -- they will have their reasons.
Usergroups are initially created by the board administrator who also assigns a board moderator. If you are interested in creating a usergroup then your first point of contact should be the administrator, so try dropping them a private message.
There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on, the board administrator has disabled private messaging for the entire board, or the board administrator has prevented you individually from sending messages. If it is the latter case you should try asking the administrator why.
In the future we will be adding an ignore list to the private messaging system. For now, though, if you keep receiving unwanted private messages from someone, inform the board administrator -- they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages at all.
We are sorry to hear that. The email form feature of this board includes safeguards to try to track users who send such posts. You should email the board administrator with a full copy of the email you received and it is very important this include the headers (these list details of the user that sent the email). They can then take action.
