Things to do when accessing the forums for the first time

[Stephen Atty]

We've set the forums up so that users are automatically created, just like they are for the Bug Tracker.

This however means that a lot of the settings are very much set to the defaults and so you should spend some time reviewing them.

One of the first things to do is to to go to your profile settings ( http://canalplan.org.uk/forums/profile.php?section=essentials&id=3 ) and review your Username and your email address - both of these have been imported from the Canalplan Database and might not be totally correct.  

Unlike a stand alone forum where the Username is used to login we are using a different field to control logons and so you can change this if you want....  The Username is displayed when ever you post anything in the forums and so you should change it to something meaningful.

We have tried printing a planned route as we have done in the past but now it shows whole route when planned but when try to print it only shows & prints the first page, not 6 as it should. We are printing straight off the program not as a 'pdf', should we use the method as mentioned?

You'll need to set it to create a PDF - printing the page from the web browser won't work correctly.
