I my suggest a guide for staying safe while foruming. Maybe along the lines of
Staying Safe While Foruming For Members
While visiting and posting on forums can be fun, you have to keep yourself protected too. A few easy ways

• NEVER post your e-mail address, if you truly have too make the @ sign (ATSIGN). That way spam bots won't pick it up and spam it to no end. An example is Howtodoit(ATSIGN)Howtodoit.com (note this e-mail does not exist.)
  
• Know what to keep private. Your address, telephone, messenger, etc. should be keep private AND NEVER be given out. This day in age please keep those private, why? That is something to ask your parents.
  If someone is requesting that, please contact the administrator immediately. Don't fall for peer pressure and know when to say "NO!" to that person.
  
• Watch the downloads. If someone post a download and you are not sure if its safe your not, things you can do
  First- Don't Download it
  Two- Check here http://siteadvisor.com and see their analysis of the site
  Three- Don't Download it
  Four- Check the extension, Some commonly dangerous file types have the extensions (.exe, .bat, .pif, .doc, .xls, .scr ) but that is far from all the dangerous types.
  Five- Don't Download it
  
• Keep Anti-Virus and Firewall software up to date. These are very important as people can invade your computer or send you a virus.
  
• If in doubt ask. Ask a respected admin or moderator about a question concerning your safety.
  
• If you feel a forum is dangerous or breaking the MYFF Terms and Conditions please report it on the Support Forum
  

Could use some work but its just a suggestion. I searched "Safe" and "Safety" but didn't get any results
Also this link http://howtodoit.myfreeforum.org/about45.html&highlight=safe
the color changes can be hard to read at times.

Nice idea and one to which I must admit forgot to do.

I think this could be a working project a bit like the abc of how to build a successful forum.

So will start a new thread to see if we can get this a top guide.


As for the colours on the forum guide they have been sorted cheers.

Will be a little different tomorrow after the admin panel changes.

Also have now added a troubleshooter guide section. This will have i hope most of the common problems and there solutions.

E.G can not find control panel , can not login in, forum gone, etc etc

If on one of your visits you see a post you think should be in there please let me know.
