This may help you guys.Some tweaks may or may not help you
depending on your connection, how your ISP routes you and ever changing Steam updates. But here are a few:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maximize your Video Card:
Click Start/Control Panel/Display/Settings/Advanced
Then Click onto your Video Card. You are looking for either Open GL or Performance Settings. Turn your Vertical Sync to Always Off.. This will increase your Frames Per Second (FPS)

How to do a tracert:

In windows, hit the start button, programs/accessories/Command Prompt.

type tracert and the ip address that you want to trace (for our Tx Reg Maps Server, ex. tracert 63.210.145.174)

Copy and paste the info after the tracert is done into a Notepad file and send it to your ISP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making a demo:
In console, type "record"
If you want to name it, type record nameofthefile, ex record hacker
To stop the demo, just type stop
To play the demo: in your console, type playdemo nameoffile.dem
Ex. playdemo hacker.dem

Recommendations
Hardware
Before you even turn on your computer, you have to make sure that you at least have parts from the 21st century in it, hehe! For DoD, make sure that you have at least a Pentium 4 and 1 gig of RAM. RAM is so cheap nowadays that you should be able to afford this nice little upgrade. Make sure that you buy the correct RAM for your computer and check to see how many slots you have available on your motherboard.

I started with 512 of RAM and DoD took about 20 seconds to load to the main screen and 30-40 seconds to exit the game while I was playing. When I added another stick of 512, the times were reduced to 4 sec. and 1 sec. respectively. AMAZING what doubling your RAM can do!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your graphics card is another component that is very important to a smooth DoD experience. Half-life games run better on ATI cards than NVIDIA, but in either case, make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card. ATI’s default drivers you should update from them, however NVidias’ default drivers suck. If you want to max out your ability with em I suggest using the X-Treme G drivers by TweaksRUs.com. Several members in {CPD} use them including _B_, and myself, Phoenix, and I have noticed it makes for a great ability. They also allow you to Overclock your card but I suggest that you be careful with that. The following link will take you to those drivers.:

Nvidia X-Treme G Drivers
Version: 91.28.v2
Go to the following link for download: http://www.tweaksrus.com/index.php?option=...=661&Itemid=41/
Release Date: 25.05.2006
After you update your graphics card, make sure you go into the graphics card settings and turn off or disable Vertical Sync or V-Sync. V-Sync caps your fps around 30 to prevent horizontal screen tearing. Turning V-Sync off will increase your fps. Since DoD is such an old game and since it is running on the old Half-Life GoldSource engine, computers that are less than 3 years old will not experience horizontal screen tear. Also read these graphics card tweaks: Tweakguides.com
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some hot things are good, like the hot wings at Hooters, but heat is very bad for your computer. Make sure you do not have your computer sitting on the floor. Those computer desks that have than little ledge 1 inch off the floor for your box to sit on is actually bad for your computer. The most dust in a room is on the floor, so the closer your computer is to the floor, the more dust will be sucked inside by the cooling fans.

Try to make sure that your computer is at least 2 feet off of the ground. Also, clean your computer once a month. Wipe the dust off of the top, back and sides. Open her up and use a can of air to dislodge all of the dust bunnies living in your heat sink and motherboard. Be sure to do this outside. Also for you single bachelors, vacuum and dust the room the computer is in. Trust me, it helps, and the women will be impressed with you.....maybe. A clean computer will run cooler and that means more fps while playing DoD. Also make sure that there is at least 12 inches of open cool circulating air behind the computer. Do not have it backed into a corner because the hot air being expelled from the rear will not have any place to go. This will cause your CPU temp to go up. Turning on your ceiling fan will help a little too. Also be sure to wipe the dried saliva and snot off of your monitor screen from those times you sneezed on it but were to busy trying to shovel me to wipe it off, lol!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows XP
Now that your hardware is all set, it is time to get Windows XP ready for some hardcore DoD action. The first thing you need to do is update your virus scanner and perform a full-deep system scan. Make sure and scan every file on your computer. After the virus scan is complete, you will need to get some spyware scanners:
Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition 1.06
Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4
SpywareBlaster
Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (its something else now but youll figure it out)
CWShredder Version 2.15

Download all of these, update them, and run them. It will take a while, but it is worth it and each one will catch things that the other ones do not!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Next, click on start and then click on run. In the box that appears, type in "msconfig". Your Microsoft Configuration Utility will open up. Click on the "Startup" tab and you will see a bunch of boxes with checkmarks in them. These are all the programs that run when Windows XP starts. I only have two programs listed on my computer, you probably have a bunch. The goal here is to get rid of the programs that you do not want or need to run at Windows XP startup. This site will tell you what each "Startup Item" does: http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php Also, read this short tutorial about "msconfig" here: http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/. There is some trial and error here and if you are not sure about something, do not uncheck the box. You will have to reboot when you click on OK.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, it is time to tweak Windows XP. It is very easy. Just download this zip file:
http://www.tweakguides.com/files/TweakGuides_XPTC.zip . Extract it to your hard drive. Inside is a simple .pdf file. If you do not have adobe acrobat reader, you can download it from here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. Open up the .pdf file and read pages 80-84 and follow its instructions. I did this and it is real easy and it will not harm your computer, just make it faster and better.
Next, you can clean up your hard drive by using disk cleaner, scan disk, and defrag. These programs are under start-programs-accessories-system tools. Make sure you have at least 1 gig free of hard drive space for your windows swap file when playing DoD.

These are all the non-DoD tweaks that I use. My computer boots up completely in less than 10 seconds and I can go from my computer being turned-off to playing DoD in the DODCops server in about 1 minute. (I am not joking!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steam Tweaks Ok so now your computer is the badess thing in your dorm room, apartment complex, or neighborhood. You feel like you could simulate space shuttle launches with it or communicate with GOD directly. But, we still have a few more tweaks to be in DoD heaven, so startup Steam and let’s getting rockin!

Okay Steam itself takes up a lot of system resources. If you hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and click on Processes in the Task Manager, you will see a list of programs and services that are running. Find Steam.exe and right click on it. Go down to "Set Priority" and you will see that Steam.exe is set to "high" priority. I wonder what genius thought that Steam should be on high priority. The last time I checked, I did not want to play Steam, I wanted to play DoD. This "high" priority is taking up valuable system resources that we could be using for DoD and having lower ping and higher fps. So we have to find a way to make Steam startup with a "low" priority. And if you have Steam startup every time your computer boots up, this makes it even more of a problem.

First, if you have Steam startup every time you boot-up, you will have to go back to that "msconfig" and uncheck the box next to Steam.exe and reboot. Now that Steam is not loaded, we can set it to startup with a "low" priority:

a. Open notepad or wordpad.
b. Type in “cmd /c start /Low Steam.exe”
c. Save as Steam.bat in C:ProgramFilesValveSteam.
d. Make sure to save it as a .bat file.
c. Go to your desktop and create a new shortcut.
d. Go to C:Program FilesValveSteam and select Steam.bat and click ok.
e. Choose a name for your shortcut and click on Finish.

Now click on the shortcut and it will run and startup Steam with a low priority selection. Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and click on Processes in the Task Manager. Find Steam.exe and right click on it. Go down to "Set Priority" and you will see that Steam.exe is set to "low" priority. Yeah! We are now smarter than Spock and Albert Einstein!

Now that Steam is set to load on low priority, we must set your Steam connection speed. Right-click on your little black Steam icon in the lower right corner and left-click on “Settings”. Now click on the “Internet” tab and you will see a box under Internet Connection Speed. Click the little down-arrow and select “LAN/T1>1M”. Then click Ok. This will open up your steam internet connection to the max. Now Steam is ready to obey your every command in taking over the world, hehe!

DoD Tweaks Ok, now we are ready to make DoD run better, faster, and smarter. And hopefully with my knowledge, it will run liquid smooth for you or crash to desktop, LOL! Hmmm, I better not show you how to order pizzas from pizza hut through DoD until I finish working out the bugs. Last time I got 20 pineapple, canadian bacon, and powdered sugar pizzas under the name Mr. Meep.

Go to C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamApps***your steam account name***day of defeatdod. Find a file called config.cfg. Open your config.cfg file. Your config.cfg a can be opened, edited, and saved with Notepad, Wordpad, Word, Works, etc. Make sure you backup this file to a floppy disk periodically. Some DoD servers change it without you knowing. Enter in some of these tweaks:

a. For a much nicer white colored in-game text find con_color and change the value to "255 255 255".
b. To change the in game text size, find cl_hudfont and change it to:
"0" - Tiny
"1" - Small
"2" - Medium
c. Find cl_fog and change it to "0".
d. Find cl_dynamic_xhair and change it to "0".
e. Find cl_particlefx amd change it to "0".
f. Bind a key to "stopsound". Ex. bind "k" "stopsound".
g. The "g" key puts an X marker on your minimap for your team to see.
h. The "L" key zooms in and out of your minimap.
i. Find hud_fastswitch and change it to "1". (This allows you to change weapons faster)
j. bgmvolume "1.000000" will turn on the intro music, setting it to "0" will turn it off.
k. Find fps_max and change it to "101". (This opens your Video Card to its max level)
l. Find net_graph and change it to "3". In game you will see your fps and choke. Set it to "0" to turn net_graph off.

You can change these settings from the console too!

Now start up DoD and on the Main Menu, click on Options. Under the Multiplayer tab, click on Advanced. Another box will appear with several options you can choose. Make the only boxes that have check marks are Center Player Names and Automatically reload weapons. All of the other boxes should be unchecked. Next set the multiplayer decal limit to 100 and quality of special effects to low.

Now go to the Video tab and select Medium (16 bit) color quality. Then click on apply and then ok. DoD is now ready to play.

Yes, Either AMXMODX or SOURCEMOD. Both are related and {GSR} has found the MOD teams very helpful.

Depends on the platform used. AMXMODX you would open console and "Bind KEY amxmodx". SOURCEMOD you would open console and "Bind KEY sm_admin". The word KEY represents the key on your keyboard to use when you wish to open the admin panel

We base our admin level per ranks. All {GSR} tagged players do have some but the higher ranking the member the more admin privileges

In some select cases there are non-{GSR} members with admin access. Most of these users are Donors who have donated for long periods of time.

Any game not supported by either AMXMODX or SOURCEMOD will have a general Rcon password to assist the Communities efforts to run quality controlled servers.

RollinDeath@gsrangers.com or you can use one of our site features at Send a Donation.

Yes, our policy has always been community supported and funded. We encourage more players to assist and help our services grow. Send a Donation.

Yes, Use paypal to assist you with those options. Once you have your account set up please proceed with your donation to rollindeath@gsrangers.com or use our site to Send a Donation.

Yes, We accept all forms of payments sent through U.S. Postal services. Brian Campbell P.O. Box 100161 Nashville, TN. 37224

Only when our donors list is lower than server capacity. Once our donation per player exceeds server capacity for reserved slots then {GSR} Members lose slots reservations. Our lowest ranking non-donors will lose slots first. Each rank there for higher will proceed to lose reservations until all slots are accounted for or purchased.

Yes, we have a list of ongoing bans at gsrangers.proboards.com.

Yes, our policy is to ban an offensive players from all servers hosted by {GSR} Administration.

You must find your Player Id on gsrangers.proboards.com. You will then need to have a user account in our FORUMS. After you log in to our forums your will need to request your ban to be reviewed on our Banned Appeals. After you make a respectful request acknowledging your faults our staff will review your case.

Suck it up cause most users never return after such bans. If you got banned from forums then you did some stupid stuff in our forums and we are done with you.

Most users banned from Ventrilo are banned for mic spamming. Those users are not coming back. If you however got banned for other reasons feel free to post at SITE.

Check to see that you are using your username and not your login name. Most people who have this issues failed to notice that the username is the name displayed in forums and not the one used to login to the forums.

There are several reasons why this could occur. First, ensure your username and password are correct. If they are, contact the board owner to make sure you haven’t been banned. It is also possible the website owner has a configuration error on their end, and they would need to fix it.

You may not have to, it is up to the administrator of the board as to whether you need to register in order to post messages. However; registration will give you access to additional features not available to guest users such as definable avatar images, private messaging, emailing of fellow users, usergroup subscription, etc. It only takes a few moments to register so it is recommended you do so.

If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you login, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university computer lab, etc. If you do not see this checkbox, it means the board administrator has disabled this feature.

Within your User Control Panel, under “Board preferences”, you will find the option Hide your online status. Enable this option with Yes and you will only appear to the administrators, moderators and yourself. You will be counted as a hidden user.

Don’t panic! While your password cannot be retrieved, it can easily be reset. Visit the login page and click I’ve forgotten my password. Follow the instructions and you should be able to log in again shortly.

First, check your loginname and password. If they are correct, then one of two things may have happened. If COPPA support is enabled and you specified being under 13 years old during registration, you will have to follow the instructions you received. Some boards will also require new registrations to be activated, either by yourself or by an administrator before you can logon; this information was present during registration. If you were sent an e-mail, follow the instructions. If you did not receive an e-mail, you may have provided an incorrect e-mail address or the e-mail may have been picked up by a spam filer. If you are sure the e-mail address you provided is correct, try contacting an administrator.

Attempt to locate the e-mail sent to you when you first registered, check your loginname and password and try again. It is possible an administrator has deactivated or deleted your account for some reason. Also, many boards periodically remove users who have not posted for a long time to reduce the size of the database. If this has happened, try registering again and being more involved in discussions.

COPPA, or the Child Online Privacy and Protection Act of 1998, is a law in the United States requiring websites which can potentially collect information from minors under the age of 13 to have written parental consent or some other method of legal guardian acknowledgment, allowing the collection of personally identifiable information from a minor under the age of 13. If you are unsure if this applies to you as someone trying to register or to the website you are trying to register on, contact legal counsel for assistance. Please note that the phpBB Group cannot provide legal advice and is not a point of contact for legal concerns of any kind, except as outlined below.

It is possible the website owner has banned your IP address or disallowed the username you are attempting to register. The website owner could have also disabled registration to prevent new visitors from signing up. Contact a board administrator for assistance.

“Delete all board cookies” deletes the cookies created by phpBB which keep you authenticated and logged into the board. It also provides functions such as read tracking if they have been enabled by the board owner. If you are having login or logout problems, deleting board cookies may help.

If you are a registered user, all your settings are stored in the board database. To alter them, visit your User Control Panel; a link can usually be found at the top of board pages. This system will allow you to change all your settings and preferences.

It is possible the time displayed is from a timezone different from the one you are in. If this is the case, visit your User Control Panel and change your timezone to match your particular area, e.g. London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc. Please note that changing the timezone, like most settings, can only be done by registered users. If you are not registered, this is a good time to do so.

If you are sure you have set the timezone and Summer Time/DST correctly and the time is still incorrect, then the time stored on the server clock is incorrect. Please notify an administrator to correct the problem.

Either the administrator has not installed your language or nobody has translated this board into your language. Try asking the board administrator if they can install the language pack you need. If the language pack does not exist, feel free to create a new translation. More information can be found at the phpBB website (see link at the bottom of board pages).

There are two images which may appear along with a username when viewing posts. One of them may be an image associated with your rank, generally in the form of stars, blocks or dots, indicating how many posts you have made or your status on the board. Another, usually a larger image, is known as an avatar and is generally unique or personal to each user. It is up to the board administrator to enable avatars and to choose the way in which avatars can be made available. If you are unable to use avatars, contact a board administrator and ask them for their reasons.

Ranks, which appear below your username, indicate the number of posts you have made or identify certain users, e.g. moderators and administrators. In general, you cannot directly change the wording of any board ranks as they are set by the board administrator. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank. Most boards will not tolerate this and the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count.

Only registered users can send e-mail to other users via the built-in e-mail form, and only if the administrator has enabled this feature. This is to prevent malicious use of the e-mail system by anonymous users.

To post a new topic in a forum, click the relevant button on either the forum or topic screens. You may need to register before you can post a message. A list of your permissions in each forum is available at the bottom of the forum and topic screens. Example: You can post new topics, You can vote in polls, etc.

Unless you are a board administrator or moderator, you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post by clicking the edit button for the relevant post, sometimes for only a limited time after the post was made. If someone has already replied to the post, you will find a small piece of text output below the post when you return to the topic which lists the number of times you edited it along with the date and time. This will only appear if someone has made a reply; it will not appear if a moderator or administrator edited the post, though they may leave a note as to why they’ve edited the post at their own discretion. Please note that normal users cannot delete a post once someone has replied.

To add a signature to a post you must first create one via your User Control Panel. Once created, you can check the Attach a signature box on the posting form to add your signature. You can also add a signature by default to all your posts by checking the appropriate radio button in your profile. If you do so, you can still prevent a signature being added to individual posts by un-checking the add signature box within the posting form.

When posting a new topic or editing the first post of a topic, click the “Poll creation” tab below the main posting form; if you cannot see this, you do not have appropriate permissions to create polls. Enter a title and at least two options in the appropriate fields, making sure each option is on a separate line in the textarea. You can also set the number of options users may select during voting under “Options per user”, a time limit in days for the poll (0 for infinite duration) and lastly the option to allow users to amend their votes.

The limit for poll options is set by the board administrator. If you feel you need to add more options to your poll than the allowed amount, contact the board administrator.

As with posts, polls can only be edited by the original poster, a moderator or an administrator. To edit a poll, click to edit the first post in the topic; this always has the poll associated with it. If no one has cast a vote, users can delete the poll or edit any poll option. However, if members have already placed votes, only moderators or administrators can edit or delete it. This prevents the poll’s options from being changed mid-way through a poll.

Some forums may be limited to certain users or groups. To view, read, post or perform another action you may need special permissions. Contact a moderator or board administrator to grant you access.

Attachment permissions are granted on a per forum, per group, or per user basis. The board administrator may not have allowed attachments to be added for the specific forum you are posting in, or perhaps only certain groups can post attachments. Contact the board administrator if you are unsure about why you are unable to add attachments.

Each board administrator has their own set of rules for their site. If you have broken a rule, you may be issued a warning. Please note that this is the board administrator’s decision, and the phpBB Group has nothing to do with the warnings on the given site. Contact the board administrator if you are unsure about why you were issued a warning.

If the board administrator has allowed it, you should see a button for reporting posts next to the post you wish to report. Clicking this will walk you through the steps necessary to report the post.

This allows you to save passages to be completed and submitted at a later date. To reload a saved passage, visit the User Control Panel.

The board administrator may have decided that posts in the forum you are posting to require review before submission. It is also possible that the administrator has placed you in a group of users whose posts require review before submission. Please contact the board administrator for further details.

By clicking the “Bump topic” link when you are viewing it, you can “bump” the topic to the top of the forum on the first page. However, if you do not see this, then topic bumping may be disabled or the time allowance between bumps has not yet been reached. It is also possible to bump the topic simply by replying to it, however, be sure to follow the board rules when doing so.

BBCode is a special implementation of HTML, offering great formatting control on particular objects in a post. The use of BBCode is granted by the administrator, but it can also be disabled on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML, but tags are enclosed in square brackets [ and ] rather than < and >. For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page.

No. It is not possible to post HTML on this board and have it rendered as HTML. Most formatting which can be carried out using HTML can be applied using BBCode instead.

Smilies, or Emoticons, are small images which can be used to express a feeling using a short code, e.g. :) denotes happy, while :( denotes sad. The full list of emoticons can be seen in the posting form. Try not to overuse smilies, however, as they can quickly render a post unreadable and a moderator may edit them out or remove the post altogether. The board administrator may also have set a limit to the number of smilies you may use within a post.

Yes, images can be shown in your posts. If the administrator has allowed attachments, you may be able to upload the image to the board. Otherwise, you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor images stored behind authentication mechanisms, e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password protected sites, etc. To display the image use the BBCode [img] tag.

Global announcements contain important information and you should read them whenever possible. They will appear at the top of every forum and within your User Control Panel. Global announcement permissions are granted by the board administrator.

Announcements often contain important information for the forum you are currently reading and you should read them whenever possible. Announcements appear at the top of every page in the forum to which they are posted. As with global announcements, announcement permissions are granted by the board administrator.

Sticky topics within the forum appear below announcements and only on the first page. They are often quite important so you should read them whenever possible. As with announcements and global announcements, sticky topic permissions are granted by the board administrator.

Locked topics are topics where users can no longer reply and any poll it contained was automatically ended. Topics may be locked for many reasons and were set this way by either the forum moderator or board administrator. You may also be able to lock your own topics depending on the permissions you are granted by the board administrator.

Topic icons are author chosen images associated with posts to indicate their content. The ability to use topic icons depends on the permissions set by the board administrator.

Administrators are members assigned with the highest level of control over the entire board. These members can control all facets of board operation, including setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc., dependent upon the board founder and what permissions he or she has given the other administrators. They may also have full moderator capabilities in all forums, depending on the settings put forth by the board founder.

Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) who look after the forums from day to day. They have the authority to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally, moderators are present to prevent users from going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material.

Usergroups are groups of users that divide the community into manageable sections board administrators can work with. Each user can belong to several groups and each group can be assigned individual permissions. This provides an easy way for administrators to change permissions for many users at once, such as changing moderator permissions or granting users access to a private forum.

You can view all usergroups via the “Usergroups” link within your User Control Panel. If you would like to join one, proceed by clicking the appropriate button. Not all groups have open access, however. Some may require approval to join, some may be closed and some may even have hidden memberships. If the group is open, you can join it by clicking the appropriate button. If a group requires approval to join you may request to join by clicking the appropriate button. The user group leader will need to approve your request and may ask why you want to join the group. Please do not harass a group leader if they reject your request; they will have their reasons.

A usergroup leader is usually assigned when usergroups are initially created by a board administrator. If you are interested in creating a usergroup, your first point of contact should be an administrator; try sending a private message.

It is possible for the board administrator to assign a colour to the members of a usergroup to make it easy to identify the members of this group.

If you are a member of more than one usergroup, your default is used to determine which group colour and group rank should be shown for you by default. The board administrator may grant you permission to change your default usergroup via your User Control Panel.

This page provides you with a list of board staff, including board administrators and moderators and other details such as the forums they moderate.

There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on, the board administrator has disabled private messaging for the entire board, or the board administrator has prevented you from sending messages. Contact a board administrator for more information.

You can block a user from sending you private messages by using message rules within your User Control Panel. If you are receiving abusive private messages from a particular user, inform a board administrator; they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages.

We are sorry to hear that. The e-mail form feature of this board includes safeguards to try and track users who send such posts, so e-mail the board administrator with a full copy of the e-mail you received. It is very important that this includes the headers that contain the details of the user that sent the e-mail. The board administrator can then take action.

You can use these lists to organise other members of the board. Members added to your friends list will be listed within your User Control Panel for quick access to see their online status and to send them private messages. Subject to template support, posts from these users may also be highlighted. If you add a user to your foes list, any posts they make will be hidden by default.

You can add users to your list in two ways. Within each user’s profile, there is a link to add them to either your Friend or Foe list. Alternatively, from your User Control Panel, you can directly add users by entering their member name. You may also remove users from your list using the same page.

Enter a search term in the search box located on the index, forum or topic pages. Advanced search can be accessed by clicking the “Advance Search” link which is available on all pages on the forum. How to access the search may depend on the style used.

Your search was probably too vague and included many common terms which are not indexed by phpBB3. Be more specific and use the options available within Advanced search.

Your search returned too many results for the webserver to handle. Use “Advanced search” and be more specific in the terms used and forums that are to be searched.

Visit to the “Members” page and click the “Find a member” link.

To subscribe to a specific forum, click the “Subscribe forum” link upon entering the forum. To subscribe to a topic, reply to the topic with the subscribe checkbox checked or click the “Subscribe topic” link within the topic itself.
