I enter AllDeaf. OK, if you want to go to chat with your friends.
So which should we go to?
General Chat in the Deaf Community area.

Now, that is what you and I see the section like this.

To pick any thread you want to read! I ramdonly choose this thread
that said "Oh no!!!!!!". Uh, yeah, something is wrong..... O.o

Ah-ha! Someone's birthday. Well, that is a while ago.

Now you can post a comment... Could be anywhere else!

NOTE: The forum does not have < and > for bold, italic, and others (< b >, < i >, < u >, etc). It only have [ and ] codes for any comment. Explain - [ B ], [ I ], [ U ], and others.



HOW TO EDIT YOUR POST?

This will happen when you click it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE! Once you post a comment, the edit button will disappear after 18 hours (if you are a VIP member, the edit button will disappear after 24 hours). So it is always better to think critically and/or looking for your grammar errors that need to be fixed.



About multi-quotes, you can visit two threads:

* How to Multiquote Different Posts on AllDeaf Part 1

* Part Two

1. I have my photobucket account so I will show you guys how to find an IMG link for AllDeaf Forum. Almost all pictures-uploader sites have the IMG link option, anyways.

2. There is always will have an upload button for pictures uploader sites like Photobucket that you can see the number 2 from the picture. See below.

See the number 3? This is where you can find the IMG link. It will auto-copy a link by itself and you can paste it in any comment.

That is all. Have a question? You can post a comment to here, or to post a thread at How to Use the AllDeaf Forum section.

I signed up last week. Why do my posts have to be reviewed by a moderator before they post? How long will this continue?

Until you have satisfied the mods that you are not a spammer, a scammer, or any other type of undesirable.

Work hard to prove yourself worthy!

Hrm. I posted something more than 2 days ago, and something else yesterday, and they still haven't shown up.

Not sure what's going on here.

Yeah... I can't take posters seriously when someone asked something that is not true. No posts are reviewed by Mods. All users will just post a comment on anywhere here.

I notice a few trolls who try to fish me for their foolish questions in my FAQs for Newbies threads. Some questions are just so silly... I am not going to fall for it.

I posted several comments on the "Cochlear Implants and Hearing Aids" section, only to have a message flash on my screen that my post must be reviewed before it will appear. 3 days later, 2 of my posts still haven't shown up.

It sounds like you don't know what you're talking about.

 

[KarissaMann05]

LOL. I don't believe you. I commented my posts before and no Mod did review my posts. I don't think any AD'er have that issue.

If you have a problem with posts, then you should ask Mods by then.

 

[eirlys]

Great FAQ. It was extremely well thought out and presented. Thank you.

I have also had the same problem. It's been 4 or so days already and my Introduction post and another still has not shown up. I didn't want to be annoying and keep posting if I was not welcome.
