Usage notes
Once you have registered, the use of the forums should be fairly self-explanatory. A few details are described below, more detailed help is available from the built-in help system.
Logging into the forum
After registering you should automatically be logged in to the forum web site. If you return later you will need to login. To do so click on the "Login" link at the top of the page. You will be presented with a login form (shown below) into which you should enter the username and password you gave during registration. To prevent yourself having to log in every time you visit the site select the "Use Cookies" check box below the password field. (Needless to say not work if you have disabled cookies in your browser – in this case you will need to login each time you visit the site).
If you forgot your password, click on the "Forgot password" link. You will need to enter the e-mail address you gave when you registered, and your password will then be sent to you via e-mail.
Organization of the forum.
The forum is organized into a number of "subject areas", for example "General", "Physics", "Analysis and Reconstruction" etc. Within each subject area are a number of discussion forums, for example "Announcements", "General Questions", "ILC Detector Roadmap". Within each forum there will be one or more threaded discussions called "Topics". If you log in when you visit the forum you will be able to see which forums have new messages since your last visit, since they will be flagged with a "glowing" light-bulb. Within a forum new messages will be flagged with red icons.
