If you want to keep abreast of what's happening, or just want confirmation that something has indeed changed and you're not losing your marbles, this is a good place to look see what's going on.

Alternatively, if this describes you:

As the IE option to increase the type size doesn't work on the forum messages, you have to resort to other means if you're having trouble reading the messages because it looks too small.

A simple suggestion - if you like to work with your browser filling the screen, 'switch on' favourites (or search, or anything) so you have a column of something else on the left.

What is it and why should I care?

Being a Supporter offers you a few perks:

- five extra profiles (for a total of 10),
- five more signatures (a total of 10 for each profile), and
- 100mb (instead of 30) of image hosting.

But for most RG members the most important thing is that if we're supporters, it doesn't cost RG anything for us to view or post in the forums!

This is most definitely, along with the rest of this forum, a work-in-progress. But if I make you wait for the finished item

1) you'll wait a long time
2) you might have given up all hope of being able to use this forum before it happens.

It's going to be pretty obvious what's not here - no link!

If you're new to Yuku forums you may have noticed that everyone, including you, has an avatar - the picture that appears in your profile under your name in a posting - even if it's only "the ghost" that you get by default if you haven't uploaded anything else:

Sometimes it helps to know who you can contact if you have a problem.

Most of the people on this list have a special 'title' that appears after their name:

A WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor allows you to see (roughly) what your post will look like as you create (or change) it.

There is a row of icons for formatting, inserting images, etc. Hover the cursor over one of them and a pop-up caption will tell yo what it does. Here's a list of them in the order they're shown:
