When you click the arrow you see this:

Anyone noticed the Chat client? you can see it two ways. The first is on the main Forum page:

The second is using the tab above:

Clicking the tab has advantages. First, it's bigger and holds more posts. But you want to chat AND surf the board? Pop that bad boy out & keep surfing!

With the pop-out you can resize the chat to whatever size you want. And since it's in another window, surf away!

Oh, and if you make a typo or want to delete a message you can now do that, too.

Now when you want to know what Style you want you can see what they'll look like!

To change styles you first look at the bottom left of the page:

This pulls up the menu:

Enjoy!

Someone asked how to upload pictures. Here's how!

First, on the bottom right of the Reply box you'll see this:

When you click that it appears. You can then attach it as either a Thumbnail or a Full Image.

Have multiple files?

Have multiple files and don't want to upload them 1 at a time? When you click Upload you can choose multiple in the window!

Easy as pie! And the images? They are on our server so no worrying about Photobucket, Tinypic or whatever.
