I forgot my password! Back to Top
Many people forget their passwords, so don't feel too silly... We've all done it!

You can retrieve your password in our password retrieval area.

Can I use HTML? Back to Top
No, for security reasons, our forums do not permit the use of HTML. Our older forums did, but these new and improved forums do not. However, we do have a range of markup codes available for you to use, similar to those used on UBB forums.

Adding images to posts or sigs... Back to Top
We have two codes for adding images:
[image] URL of image [/image]
[img] URL of image [/img]

The above tags will allow you to post an image in our forums or to use in your signature.

Coloured and Glowing Text Back to Top
We have set codes up to cater for both American and UK/Australian spelling, as well as to cater for the basic colours, but mainly using hex codes. The following codes will work:

[color=red]this is an example[/color]
[colour=red]this is an example[/colour]
[c=red]this is an example[/c]

The above will all appear as: this is an example. To view the different possible hex codes, do a Google search.

As with normal coloured text, glow text uses hex codes or the base colour words, such as red or green. To use glowing text, use the following codes:

[glow=red]this is an example[/glow]
[g=red]this is an example[/g]
