Finding your User Account Control Panel (formerly known as User CP)
The User Control Panel (usercp) can be found at the top of the page on the main navigation bar. Hover your cursor over your name and a drop down will appear. Alternatively on a tablet/phone you can just tap on your name and the drop down will appear.

If you are a regular user of Facebook you can use your Facebook account to sign up or login with your Facebook account. Just click on the Login with Facebook link.

Alternatively you can continue register or login with just your email/password combination as before.
 
Finding The Latest New Posts
One of the popular features on the forums is always the "New Posts" since you last logged in/visited. You can find it in the secondary navigation bar at the top of the page.

Tagging someone in a post
If you want to tag another user in a post you can do by using the @ symbol before their username. If you don't know the exact spelling of the name it will provide a drop down with options. The user tagged will be notified via an alert (and an email if they chose this option).
 
Similar Threads Shown on Thread Creation
With over 440,000 posts we have a lot of info available to members. To help avoid duplicating content we have just installed a feature where similar threads are shown to you when you create a thread based on the title you type in.
 
Ignore certain forums when displaying New Posts
A feature that has been requested for quite a while is the ability to ignore certain forums when you click on New Posts (which is how a lot of member find out what is new on the forums since their last visit). Well we now have that functionality in your Account Settings Page.

 
Get The Latest Posts Since Your Last Visit
If you are interested in seeing just the posts since your last visit you can click on New Posts (the little red indicator tells you how many unread new posts you have) and you are then given a list of the latest Forum Posts
 
Reporting a Post
If you see a post that contains spam or something that might be offensive - please report it to the Forum Moderation team by clicking on the report button under the post in question.
