Q. How to use your search from LiveBoards.com?
A. Using your basic search from LiveBoards is both easy and fast. With your basic search all you will have to do is enter the term or string that you are looking for. After typing in your term click on the submit button. LiveBoards will search for the term or terms you have entered. Once you get your results you can also do another search to expand or narrow your existing search or add a new one. These options are [Exact String] [All Words] or [Any Words]. Your results will be displayed below. In addition to the basic search, LiveBoards Message Boards also offers an advance search (not available on all boards)How to use your advance search
Q. How to use your advance search from Liveboards.com?
A. The LiveBoards Message Board advance search is a very powerful tool. The advance search tool will help those that need specific information find what they are looking for fast. With the advanced search feature you can query your message board for exact strings, any words in search box, or all words. In addition to terms you can search by date, between dates, or even by poster. If your message board has many posts and you find yourself looking for specific information on past posts, you will find this feature to be priceless.
Q. What will changing my layout do for me?
A. Changing your layout is a very powerful feature from LiveBoards. To date all message boards are designed by administrators/owners. Once the board is built to their wishes all visit and post. The problem still remains what one is familiar with. On the web today you have a basic 2 styles of message boards (inline and threaded). There are different flavors with-in these categories. For example with threaded boards there can be two or three levels. A basic threaded board will have a primary post and all its replies within or under the original(parent post). With LiveBoards your administrator can choose between two styles of threaded boards. These choices are the basic threaded model or the threaded with bump feature. What the bump feature will do is post the last topic replied to, regardless of the date of creation of thread. The advantage of this is keeping hot topics on top and not so hot threads will slowly fall down the list. The inline version will display messages descending (most recent to less recent). Many high traffic sites with one arena use this style. The inline model will display messages in the order of their post. With the inline style you can see if the message was original or a reply. When reading a reply you can from that post jump directly to the post it was a reply to. When viewing a post you can also view all replies by clicking on this message has x replies [View Them].
Your View (layout) can be changed to your preference. This is a feature that is unique to your LiveBoards Message Board. Now you can view a board in a way that you find right for you!
Q. How does mail notification work?
A. Mail notification is a breeze with your message board. You have many options to choose from. First you can choose how you would like to receive your email(html or text). That is just the beginning. With our email notification you can read the entire post in your email along with links to respond or view the post online. You can also choose how to be emailed. You can choose to receive your email on every post, Once(1X) a day (12am), Twice(2X) daily (12am, 12pm), Four(4X) daily (12am, 6am, 12pm, 6pm). In addition to your choice of times(X) daily you can have email on every post as well. Some like people like to monitor posts as they are posted and yet like to read the entire days post in their mail at their convenience.
Q. What is "users logged in"?
A. Users logged will show you known posters on this board who are logged in and have done something at this board with in the last 15 minutes.
