To add an image to your username, access your profile via the link at the top right of your screen, click on 'edit profile' and then 'edit my image'.

What do I put in the title of my post?
A descriptive title is preferred, as it will attract people who think they may know the answer. Generic titles are a lot less efficient.

Why did a moderator edit my post?
Moderators will edit posts when it’s required. If someone uses vulgarities, publishes private information (such as emails or passwords), or breaks the guidelines, we will clean up the publication. We also may edit a post to correct a typo that completely changes the meaning of the post.

What do I do if I posted in the wrong section or category?
Either edit your post or reply to it and explain what was wrong, then use the report post button and a moderator will help. Please don’t abuse this, and keep in mind that most posts will not be removed.

Should I bump my post if no one answers?
Yes. Bumping (moving your own post to the top of the forums) actually makes your post easy to find for members to reply to.
  • Created:
Should I repost my question if no one answers?
No. This actually makes it harder for people to help you, and drains the resources of the volunteers. People actively look at un-answered posts to see what needs help. Making multiples means more posts to look at, and less time to help each person.

How did someone else mark my post solved?
Forum moderators can mark any post resolved. You can also mark your own posts resolved in their specific forum areas. They should have replied and explained why. If you think it’s not solved, you can just un-resolve it and ask again.
  • Created:
Why did a post disappear?
Sometimes posts are removed because a user has been warned previously not to do a thing (like make multiple posts) and they did it again. We always delete spam. We try not to delete useful posts, but if there are legal issues, or harassment cases, we may do so to protect the people involved.

How do I report abuse or spam in the forums?
You can report the post by using the “Report” button found below every forum post. That alerts the moderators that their attention is needed. Please don’t abuse this. It’s meant for issues in that post only, not for general personal issues.

Why can't I delete my post, which is the first in the thread?
We don't allow a post to be removed if it's the first in a thread. This is because it would remove the complete thread. If it contains personal information, please report the post and we can remove this for you.
  • Created:
Why can't I see my post?
It's possible it's been captured by our spam filter. Please give us some few minutes to review your post. If the content is useful it will be approved, but if it contains spam content it will be deleted.

I registered but I cannot login!
Please ensure your username and password are correct. If they are, then the forum requires new registrations to be activated, either by yourself or by Trendri.com administrator before you can logon. You were sent an email, please follow the instructions in the email to activate your account. If you did not receive an e-mail, you may have provided an incorrect e-mail address or the e-mail may have been picked up by a spam filer. If you are sure that the email address you provided is correct, try contacting the board admin.

I registered in the past but cannot login any more!
Try to find the email you received when you registered, verify your username and password and try again. An administrator may have deactivated or removed your account for some reason. In addition, we periodically delete users who did not post for a long period of time to reduce the size of the database. If this happened, try to re-register yourself and get more involved in the discussions.

Should I link to a site?
If you can, yes. When a question relates to a specific website or page, and the site is publicly viewable, a link makes things faster to solve. This will allow people to see the issue and often leads to faster resolutions. Keep in mind, links will not get removed any time later, unless in extreme circumstances. Google will capture posts, including any available links within minutes, so if that is a concern to you, please don’t link in the body of your post.
