Welcome to everyone who visits the Class B Camper Van Forum. I hope that you will find this forum site to be informative and useful. If you like it; please register and participate. Share your knowledge, ask questions, post links, share your travels etc.

Re: Navigating this site

The Forum Index is the home page. The Class B Forum logo in the upper left corner is linked to the index. Click on the photo and you return to the index. It's the quickest way for me.

Re: Avatar control panel

You can choose a picture to display beneath your name from the three installed galleries: Animals, Dogs & Simpson’s When you are logged in, the Avatar control panel is in the User Control Panel.

You have to be logged in to see attachments. Forum guests cannot see or download files attached to posts.

I just noticed the View posts since last visit link that shows up on the right hand side of the forum when you have logged in.

I knew this forum had it but I never saw it

Re: joining this forum

When you join this forum your account isn't activated immediately. I review each new member sign up before activating it.

That can take between 5 minutes or maybe a day or more if I'm away. I am sorry for the delay but, on forums, the Memberlist can be easily overrun with sign ups that have nothing to do with camping or Class B RV's.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

When registering, you must enter a displayed code in the box. That code is to keep spammers off the forum.

Some computers may not display the code and some people might not see it that well.

I’m happy to set up an account for you with a temporary password that you can change later. There's a link to my email address on the registration page. Send me the username you want to use.

Be sure to take a look at your setting in the User Control Panel. (located near the upper right corner of your browser window)

The are lots of options there:



(edit) The User Control Panel looks different than the above image on the new version.

Manage Subscriptions, Manage Bookmarks, Manage Drafts, Edit Profile, Edit Signature, Edit Avatar, Edit Account Settings & more.

-----------------------------------

I added more avatars. They are available in your profile. Go to User Control Panel (upper left corner of this website) then go to your Profile.

The avatar galleries are:

Animals
Dogs
Outdoors
Simpsons
Space

Space and Outdoors were added today.

Avatars are small images that are displayed below your username on all posts made by you.

On the old forum, links to websites open in a new browser window. On this new forum, links to websites open in the same browser window that you were using.

If you want the link to open in a new window; Right Click on the link and choose "Open in a New Window"

Right-clicking is clicking the right mouse button one time. If you right-click on a file or folder, you are presented with a menu of common actions such as Open, Copy, Paste, and Properties. Viewing the properties of a file or folder is how you can learn about the size, location, and creation date (and more). In a web browser, you can right-click on links to save their “target” (what they link to) to your computer, view the location and file size of images, not to mention the ever-useful Copy and Paste.
