How to use JamiiForums effectively

[Chri44ophe55]

Wadau naamini tunawataalamu wazuri sana wa IT humu ndani, kama kuna uwezekano wa kuifanya JF iwe inajiupdate (automatic update) yenyewe badala ya kurefresh ifanywe hivyo. Mfano kwa sasa kama umeifungua kukawa na posts mpya inabid urefresh ndio uzione.

pili kama kuna uwezekano wa kuifanya member akisign in iwe inamsign out automaticall after certain time.

[doctorz]

This is the best so far. Let everyone utilise Jamii Forum as an effective tool to cry our grivance. Lets not use it for personal vendeta. If utilised well this can turn out to be a tool to bring positve and radical changes in our lives. Keep up with the reminders.
It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity

REGISTRATION:

Why should I register?

In order to fully utilize the abilities of this forum, we will require that you register as a member. Registration is free, and allows you to do the following:

* Post new threads
* Reply to other peoples' threads
* Edit your posts
* Receive email notification of replies to posts and threads you specify
* Send private messages to other members
* Enter events in the forum calendar
* Access some forums that the Unregistered user can't access
* Download attachments and documents (which are all safe) uploaded by other registered members
* Set up a 'buddy-list' to quickly see which of your friends are currently online

To register, you will need to specify a username and password, and a valid email address. Entering your email address will not leave you open to 'spam', as you can choose to hide your email address, and messages sent to you via email do not reveal your address to the sender in any case. (To verify this, you can try sending an email message to another user.) We may wish to contact you by email whenever there're any system upgrades, so ensure that the email address you provide is valid and working.

If you are under the age of 13, we may require that a parent or guardian provides consent before allowing you to complete the registration process. More information about this is available during the registration process.

You can alter any of the fields in your profile, except your username. Once you have registered your username, it becomes yours for life.

SIGNATURES:

What is the signature for?

After you have registered, you may set your signature. This is a piece of text that you would like to be inserted at the end of all your posts, a little like having headed note paper.

We enabled signatures so that you will have the option to include your signature on any posts you make. If you have specified a signature, then the forum will automatically append your signature to any messages you post. You can disable signatures on a per-post basis by un-ticking the 'Show Signature' checkbox when you compose your message.

You may turn the signature on and off on posts you have already made by editing the post and altering the state of the 'Show Signature' option.

You can set your signature by editing your profile.

AVATAR:

How do I get a picture under my username?

Avatars are small graphical images that you may choose in your profile. They are displayed by your username on all posts that you make. You can select the image that best describes yourself from your profile options.

These small images are called Avatars. They are displayed below your username on all posts that you make. There are two kinds of avatars: those provided by JamboForums.com and those that you upload yourself.

We provided a set of avatars and are enabled, you may select an avatar that best describes your personality.

We also have enabled custom avatars, which allows you to upload an avatar image from your computer.

SEARCHING:

Can I search the forum?

You can search for posts based on username, word(s) in the post or just in the subject, by date, and only in particular forums.

To access the search feature, click on the "search" link at the top of most pages.

You can search any forum that you have permission to search - you will not be allowed to search through private forums unless we give you the necessary security rights to do so.

Can I send email to other members?

Yes! To send an email to another member, you can either locate the member you want to contact on the member list, or click the

button on any post made by that member.

This will usually open a page that contains a form where you can enter your message. When you have finished typing your message, press the [send email] button and your message will be sent instantly. Note that for privacy reasons, the email address of the recipient is not revealed to you during this process.

Note that if you can not find an email button or link for a member, it means that the member in question has specified that they do not wish to receive email from other members of the forum.

We have enabled the Private Messaging (PM) system, registered members may send each other private messages.

Sending Private Messages

Private messages work a little like email, but are limited to registered members of this forum. You may be able to include vB Code, smilies and images in private messages that you send.

You may send a private message to a member of this forum by clicking the 'Send A Private Message' link in the private messaging section of your user control panel, or by clicking the button in a member's posts.

When you send a message, you have the option to save a copy of the message in your Sent Items folder.

Private Message Folders

By default, you will have two folders in your private message area. These are the Inbox and the Sent Items folders.

The Inbox folder contains any new messages you receive, and allows you to view all the messages you have received, along with the name of the person who sent the message to you, and the date and time the message was sent.

The Sent Items folder contains a copy of any messages that you have sent, where you have specified that you wish to keep a copy of the message for future reference.

You may create additional folders for your messages by clicking the 'Edit Folders' link.

Each folder has a set of message controls which allow you to select messages, then either move them to one of your custom folders, or delete them completely. You may also have a button which allows you to forward multiple messages from a folder to another member of the forum.

You will need to periodically delete old messages, as the administrator has probably set a limit to the number of private messages you can have in your folders. If you exceed the number of messages specified by the administrator, you will not be able to send or receive new messages until you delete some old messages.

Whenever you read a message, you will have the option to reply to the message, or forward that message to another member of the forum. You may also have the ability to forward that message to multiple members of your buddy list.

Message Tracking

When you send a new private message, you may have the option to request a read-receipt for that message. This will allow you to check whether or not a message has been read by its recipient by viewing the Private Message Tracking page.

This page is divided into two sections: unread messages and read messages.

The unread messages section shows all messages that you have sent with a read-receipt request, that have not yet been read by their recipient.

The read messages section shows all messages you have sent with a receipt request that have been read and acknowledged by their recipient. The time that the message was read is also shown.

You may choose to end the tracking on any message you choose by selecting the message and clicking the [end tracking] button.

When you receive a message with a read-receipt request, you may have the option to read the message while denying the read-receipt request. To do this, simply click the 'deny receipt' link rather than the title of the message, if it appears.

Matajiri wanazidi kutajirika, na masikini hali yao inazidi kua mbaya. Wakikaa kwenye vikao vyao, wanazidi kutafuta mbinu mpya zakumuibia yule asie kua nakitu. Matatizo ya umeme hayawafikii, chakula wanapata kila siku. Maji, kuvaa na kilakitu. Iweje leo waongelee mgomo wa madaktari wakati wanatibiwa nje ya nchi? Katiba itawafanya wao wazidi kutunisha misuli juu yetu. Ndio maana wanaipa great importance.Hii ni mara yangu yakwanza ndani ya JF.

Ninavutiwa na uendeshaji wa JF kwani ikitumika vizuri itaiokoa nchi yetu mikononi mwa mafisadi.
