Where did my thread go?

jmbrink26 — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 21:17:04 GMT

If you created a thread, and can't find it under the topic you created it in, then that would typically indicate that the thread has been moved to a different topic in the forums.

In a collaborative effort to promote and maintain efficiency of the forums, some threads are moved to a topic that is more relavent to your thread, allowing users to find information pertanent to topic it was originally created in.

When a thread is moved, you will recieve an automated e-mail regarding this.

If you have any questions regarding this, please contact myself or any other moderator.

Thanks,

Justin

What are the community guidelines?

Fitness Anywhere — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:23:59 GMT

We want you to be part of the Fitness Anywhere community and stay part of our community so we have a couple common sense guidelines to help you stay in the “circle of trust.” Vent your abusive behavior out in your workouts, not in our forums and take a break in between sets to read the below guidelines.

WATCH YOUR…CONTENT:
You know the drill, any content that Fitness Anywhere views as inappropriate (offensive language, images, posts, video content, links containing profanity or sexually graphic etc.) will be removed from the community site. We will be the judge of the consequences such as a warning, removal of certain member privileges, immediate deletion from the community, or reported to appropriate authorities.

VOICE YOUR OPINION, NICELY:
You are more than welcome to tell other members what’s on your mind, but we will not allow any abusive, racist, sexual or threatening comments stay on our premises.

NO SPAM ALLOWED:
You can eat SPAM all you want, we don’t care, but when it comes to the community get that SPAM outta-here. Any junk mail, advertisements, commercial solicitation will get eliminated.

PERMISSION TO POST:
If it isn’t yours, get permission first to post. This includes articles, photos, content from the internet, or other copyrighted material. Feel free to post a link if you want to share others opinions.

IF YOU WANT IT TO STAY PERSONAL, KEEP IT PERSONAL:
Any info that you do not want made public such as email address, phone numbers, personal addresses do not post if you don’t want it revealed.

STREETS SMARTS:
If someone told you to jump off the bridge would you? Members can say they are the Top Fitness Expert in this forum, but that isn’t always true. Be smart and always use some discretion when following other member’s advice.

REPORT THE CREEPS:
You don’t want them lurking in your community, well we don’t want them in ours. If you see images, posts or links that do not follow the guidelines, please click on the “Report Abuse link” so that our moderators can handle the situation.

We have created these guidelines so that everyone has a kick a** time in our community. Fitness Anywhere reserves the right to remove anything that does not follow the guidelines above. We don’t even have to explain or give a warning. So if you don’t like our rules, well than that gives us fewer creeps to report.

Voting for posts you view is entirely optional, but if you think that the post is amazing, you might give it a 5-star, or if you think that it's horrible, you might choose to rate it with a single star.

Once enough votes have been cast for the post rating, you may see a set of stars appear with the title of the post. These stars reflect the average vote cast, and can allow you to quickly see which posts/threads are worth reading.

To find this, right click on the photo and scroll down to “copy image location” or “properties.” This should give you the URL location of the photo as well as the dimensions. Click on Insert/Edit image icon in the rich editor and post the image location into the appropriate field. Choose an Alignment option for when you would like the photo to align in your post. Click insert and you should see the photo
