When posting as amother in a different thread each person gets a new color assigned to them.

Changing the colour of text is achieved by using the following codes: [color=example]____[/color]. You can specify either a recognized colour name (eg. red, blue, yellow, etc.) or the hexadecimal triplet alternative, eg. #FFFFFF, #000000. For example, to create red text you could use:
[color=red]Hello![/color]
or
[color=#FF0000]Hello![/color]
will both output Hello!

Put the text you wish to quote between the following tags: [quote]example[/quote]

Administrators are people assigned the highest level of control over the entire board. These people can control all facets of board operation which include setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc. They also have full moderator capabilities in all the forums.
Moderators are individuals whose job it is to look after the running of the forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material.
Usergroups are private support forums where women who have something specific in common can talk in a private environment.
You may join as many groups as you are eligible for. Be sure to check the minimum requirements to make sure you are eligible before requesting access.
To join a usergroup click the usergroups link at the top of the page and you can then view all usergroups. Not all groups are open access -- some are closed and some may even have hidden memberships.

Most groups have a minimum number of posts you must have before being eligible to join. If you haven't heard back from the usergroup mod after 2 weeks, then send a pm to Yael. She can give you access.
