Am I missing a step perhaps?

While the General forum section is visible to anyone, there is a Member's only section that is not visible until you have registered and logged into the forums. In addition, registered members are able to have private conversations with others using the private messaging (PM) function. <a href="/forum/register.php">Click here to get registered</a> Must I remember this incredibly cryptic password? No, after creating your account and logging in for the first time you can change your password to something more memorable. If you are currently logged in, you will see "Welcome username" in the upper left. Clicking your username will take you to your profile where you will find an "Edit" link. From there you can change your password as well as other info displayed in your profile page. <a name=formatFAQ>Formatting forum posts</a> For the most part there is no need to use any formatting tags in your posts, you simply type, just like sending an email. However, sometimes you may want more control over how your post will be displayed. To accomplish that, you can use a few select HTML tags. You'll see a list of allowed tags below the post form... <blockquote> Allowed markup: a blockquote code em strong ul ol li img. </blockquote> <ul> <li>a The "a" tag is used to create clickable links, eg; <code><a href="http://www.arrache.org"> CLICK HERE </a></code> </li> <li>blockquote The "blockquote" tag can be useful when quoting another source, eg; <code>They said <blockquote> and you can quote me on that </blockquote></code> </li> <li>code The "code" tag isn't really an HTML tag. It was created so that forum posts could display code that the viewer's browser would normally translate. eg; <code><code> You can make text bold with the tag </code></code> </li> <li>em & strong With these 2 tags you can add italic and bolded text eg; `This is BOLD TEXT This is ITALIC TEXT` </li> <li> ul ol and li These 3 tags can be useful for creating lists. There are 2 types of lists, an Ordered List, which when used automatliccly numbers the items in the list, and an Unordered List which just puts a bullet in from of each list item. The List Item tag is used within both list types to indicate an item in the list. eg; A list of items in no particular order `<ul> <li> An apple </li> <li> An orange </li> </ul>` A numbered list of items `<ol> <li> An apple </li> <li> An orange </li> </ol>` </li> <li>img The image tag as it's called does exactly what it's name implies, includes an image. You specify the image location using a paramter labeled SRC eg <code><img src=http://www.arrache.org/arrache.png></code> PLEASE NOTE: Currently, Arache forum posts can only include images that have been uploaded and are available from another webserver. There currently is no public means of uploading files to this webserver due to size and security concerns. There are however numerous free file hosting services, such as <a href="http://www.mediafire.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mediafire.com</a> , <a href="http://www.youshare.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.youshare.com</a> and <a href="http://www.photobucket.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.photobucket.com</a> to name a few. Depending on your web browser you may be able to copy the image location by right clicking on it. Once you know the URL to an image, you can include it in your post. </li> </ul> <ul></ul>
