In the SuperTRUMP User forum, http://www.ivorycc.com/goforum.html, you can post questions about SuperTRUMP, get answers, read other people's questions and answers, and engage in discussions. You can also attach files to your posts. Additionally, Ivory staff will also regularly post usage tips which may be of interest to you.
| Please be aware that postings on the forum can be seen by other forum members (not just Ivory Consulting staff). While getting help using a particular SuperTRUMP feature you certainly don't want to reveal confidential information. |
| You may choose a username and display name to mask your identity. If you also conceal your email address, no one but forum administrators will know who you are. |
When you've completed the registration process, you may want to adjust your public appearance in the forum and how the forum appears on your computer. Here's how:
The "Modify Profile" box is also where you can delete your account, using the "Delete Account" button near the bottom.
To cancel the "Modify Profile" box without making any changes, just go to another page. We suggest clicking the "Home" link near the top of the page.
The best way to learn is just to explore the forum, looking all around each page for things to click on. Most of these techniques will be familiar to you if you have ever used an online forum. Here are some ways to use the forum.
If you are viewing any "thread" of messages and responses, near the upper left of the box there is a link called "Bookmark" or "Remove bookmark". Clicking this link will add this item to (or remove it from) your personal collection of bookmarks. Your bookmarks record message threads that you may want to monitor. You can be notified via email if the thread changes. To see your list of bookmarks (and to revisit them), first click on the "Profile" link near the top of any page; then near the top of the "View Profile" box, click on "Bookmarks". To manage your bookmarks and notifications, click on the "Manage Bookmarks" link at the upper right of the "Bookmarks" box.
Searching for a Particular Topic
The "Search" link at the top of each page allows you to search for certain words in all the messages in all the boards in this forum. You can also focus your search on certain boards or within a recent time interval.
Begin by choosing a board in which you want your question to appear. If you don't find a board that seems to fit your specific question, choose a general-purpose board that fits. Don't worry too much about where; we'll move your question and its replies to the right place if necessary.
When you're viewing the board, look for a "New Thread" link near the upper right corner of the main box. (If you don't see the "New Thread" link, it's because you're not permitted to post messages in this board. Try another board.)
When you click the "New Thread" link, you're shown a "Post Message" page where you can compose your question. Many options are presented, but the most important things are the subject and the text of the message itself. In certain boards you can attach a file to your message. When your message is complete, click the "Post Message" button at the bottom of the "Post Message" box. To cancel your message without posting it, just go to any other page.
To reply to an existing message (someone else's or your own), first find the message and view it by clicking on its subject. Then do one of the following:
Remember, you can bookmark any thread so that it's easy to revisit, and (optionally) so you are notified if anyone adds to it.
You can modify your own messages even after they're posted. But you can only add an attachment the first time you post a message. If you want to change your attachment, or to add more, then post a reply to your original message. It might be a good idea to modify your original message to say if the original attachment is out of date.
The "Members" link near the top of every page displays all the forum's members by their display names. If you click on a display name you'll see the user's profile. The left-hand side of the profile lists ways to contact the user electronically.
For forum help click the "Help" button near the top of each page. Macromedia Flash is required. The menu at the left-hand side displays the available tutorials.
The host service (ProBoards.com) has a support forum that you can view without registering. (But most of the ProBoards support forum is intended for administrators of forums.)
You can also contact the Ivory Consulting support staff.
