Here is a brief explanation of some of the questions you may have about the Board.

• Can I use html tags anywhere in my posts?
• Why are there colons in the message section when I try post a followup?
• Why didn't my post show up?
• How often does the Board roll over?
• Can I post a link to another web board?
• Can I post a link to another yo-yo store?
• Can I post information on modifying a yo-yo?
• Why was my post deleted?

• Can I put html tags anywhere in my posts?

  No. You can not use HTML tags in any field. If you attempt to post HTML, the board script will just throw out everything in <>'s.

• Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?

  Colons appear in the message dialog box when you follow up on a message. They indicate that those lines are being quoted from the previous (original) post, like the > you see in some e-mail messages. Why : instead of >? Because > is an integral part of HTML markup, and as noted above, anything between <> is going to be deleted. So using lots of > would get pretty confusing for the web board program. Anyway, feel free to delete as much of the quoted original as you wish.

• Why didn't my post show up?

  Your post most likely did not show up because your browser did not reload the main page. Instead, it simply pulled an old version of the Board out of its cache. Please reload the main page in your browser and your message should then appear.

• How often does the Board roll over?

  It depends on the volume of postings, but generally a post on the Board will not last longer than two days. Frequently, the board will roll over within 24 hours. Check back often, if getting a response is important to you.

• Can I post a link to another web board?
  No. See Rules #2 and #3.

• Can I post a link to another yo-yo store?
  No. See Rules #2 and #3.

• Can I post information on modifying a yo-yo?
  Yes, as long as the modification is not what Dave considers potentially illegal. See Rule #4 for details. NOTE: installing break pads in any yo-yo not made by Playmaxx is considered potentially illegal, and is therefore not allowed.

• Why was my post deleted?
  Most likely it violated one or more of the Board rules.
