Message Boards
1. What if I am offended by something posted on a myKnitting.com in a message board?
The goal of a community based site such as myKnitting.com (and many others around the web), is to allow users to express their thoughts, feelings and accomplishments. This goal is also the inherent problem with these types of sites when a malicious user decides to abuse their privileges. We try to monitor all postings for inappropriate material, but if we have missed something, please contact us and we will correct the situation immediately. Users deciding to abuse their privileges will have their account made inactive so they cannot continue to harm the integrity of our site. Of course, we hope this will never happen!!!

2. How do I get started posting messages on the message boards?
Anyone browsing our site can view messages on the message boards, but you have to have an account to post messages.

If you want to reply to a message already posted, make sure you are logged in first. Once you are logged in, go to the message you would like to reply to and click the "reply" button next to the specific message you would like to respond to. The message text you are responding to, as well as your response will be posted in this string of messages.
3. I wanted to be notified when a particular message board was updated. Can I do this?
Yes, you can! First, log into your account (you need an account to receive notifications). Then navigate to the message you would like to set up for email notifications, and click on the "update notifications here" link near the top under the message title. Then you can elect to receive email notifications whenever someone updates the message. You can remove the notifications in exactly the same manner.
