New Forums Frequently Asked Questions

We welcome all to our forums section, powered by WOWbb.  We invite our site visitors to post questions and queries and we invite our San Carlos friends to assist us with providing answers. We ask that all obey a few simple rules and netiquette so that all may benefit from this service. 

Please post on the appropriate board.  We have message boards or forums for fishing, diving, sailing and general information and a marketplace section.  Each forum has it's own experts who monitor and respond to queries and questions.

Please do not post in all capital letters-this is considered shouting and is rude to netizens.

We want to encourage an honest exchange of information but we ask all to play nicely. Flame wars, personal attacks or vendettas and profanity are not appreciated or desired. If you have a grudge or score to settle, hire a lawyer-don't put it here. You have the right to post - - you do not have the right to be a jerk.

Q: How do I register to Post

A: To read our forums you need not register but you must do so to post or reply to posts. Follow these instructions to register.

At the upper right you should see:
Not logged in - Login | Register
Click on the Register link and a Register window will open. Fill in all 4 boxes with a username, valid email address and enter the password twice. Please write the password down-we can change it for you but cannot recover it. Click the send button at the bottom right of the Register window. You will get a message that says an email has been sent to your email address so be sure the address you entered is correct.

Wait a few minutes (varies depending on mail server loads) and open our email message. You will see a link in our welcome message that must be clicked on to complete your registration process. That is it and you are now free to post and reply.

If the system does not seem to respond properly after you register, check the security settings in your web browser and make sure cookies are allowed. Ours will not harm you or your system but are necessary to allow the forum to operate properly. If you are still having a problem, email host@sancarlosmexico.com

The new forum format has some features that were not available from the previous provider.  You can edit posts, insert photos, hyperlinks, email addresses and more. At the very top of the forum screen are buttons that will allow you to search the forums by keyword, see all of your posts (My Account), see a list of Members, see and post events on our Calendar, get Help with the forum and return Home to the main web site.  You can also insert an avatar, a small image that represents you and will appear on all of your posts.  See the Avatar tab under My Account for more information.
 

Q:  Can we post photos or hyperlinks?

A:  Yes, but please use good taste and let's try and maintain a PG-13 rating.  You can add an image or hyperlink to your message very easily by clicking on the Insert Image or Insert Link button in the toolbars above the message text box.  Please make the image width 480 pixels or less to properly display.

Q: Can I edit my posts?

A: Yes, you can edit your own posts.

Q:  Are posts ever deleted?

A:  We reserve the right to delete posts that are time sensitive such as events that have already happened or that are not on topic or that are duplicates.  We also reserve the right to delete posts that violate our rules, as noted above.

Q:  Can I post an event or advertise my site?

A:  If you are a San Carlos non-profit organization we are happy to to have you post your event.  If you are a business or for-profit organization and have not been already been granted authority to post, please email your request to host@sancarlosmexico.com before you post.

Q:  I have something to sell or rent.  Can I post this?

A:  Post for sale or rental items in our Mercado (Market Place) section.  Listings are free for 30 days.  Visit the Mercado section for more information.  Please do not post these items in the topical forums

Q:  Can I view the forums in Spanish?

A:  Yes, by selecting Spanish as the preferred language in the Preferences tab under My Account.  The system will also display in Arabic, Dutch, Italian, French, German, Malay and Turkish.  Posts will appear in the language of the poster.

Q:  Can I post in Spanish or other language?

A:  If you do, we request that you provide an English version as well so all can understand your post. If you don't translate it, we reserve the right to do it for you and you may not like the results.

Q:  Can I search the forums?

A:  Yes, we have enabled search capability on each forum so you can search previous posts by keyword.

Q:  I have a question that is still unanswered and I don't want to ask it on a forum.  Can you help me?

A:  First, use our site search feature and type in your search phrase.  If you still cannot find the answer, drop us an email and we'll try and get an answer for you.
