    • Navigating Reef Frontiers

      So you finally decided to sign up to the greatest reefing forum on the internet and now you need to know how to find your way around the site. Navigating a place that you are un-familiar with can be a bit frustrating at times so we thought we'd put together a quick "How To" to help you find your way around.
      So with that said, let's get started! We will be concentrating on the home page which is the first screen you will encounter when log in. Any and everywhere you need to get to on RF can be accessed from the homepage.
      Our first screen shot shows the top portion of the home screen.http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/7742/88523034.jpg

      Red box - You will find this section displayed on any page you visit here on RF which is quick access to some of our favorite links including the "sponsors" links that takes you to their respective websites, a few of our selective "photo galleries", the "chat room" where you can hang out to shoot the breeze with your fellow reefers at any time, the "classifieds" section where you are able to buy and sell new/used personal items (reef related) granted you meet the required criteria to participate there whether it being either a 30 day/ 50 post requirement first or you obtain premium membership that gives you instant access and then lastly, our carefully put together "resource library".

      Green Box -The RF banner is actually more than just a pretty banner. It is actually one of your quick links as well that is displayed on any page that you visit here on RF. Clicking it will take you back to the home page.

      Orange box - This is the last section of quick links you will find displayed on any page you visit here on RF. To the left side, we "Home" and "welcome To Reef Frontiers" tabs which will both take you back to the home page just like the RF banner does. The "forum" tab will take you our list of all the dedicated forums we have here all ranging from general reef discussion, specialty equipment forums all the way down to even our various club forums. This is where all discussions take place. Next we have our "blog" tab where you can view the different members blogs and then lastly the "What's New Tab" that will display all of the "new" posts since your last visit to the site. Over to the right side, will be basically all of your personal control tabs with the addition to our advanced search feature. Clicking on your username or the "My profile" tab, will take you to your personal profile page. Here you will view your profile as if you were any other member looking in at it. No editing of your profile is done here, but rather just the info you have allowed others to see, will be displayed here. Then we have the "notifications tab". This is where you will be notified of any incoming private messages (pm's) or incoming visitor messages as well as friend requests. You can also access your pm inbox from here as well. The "setting's" tab is where you can edit your profile to customize it to your liking. Things like adding in or editing your signature which will be displayed on the bottom of any post you make here can be done here, you can also add an avitar which is a profile picture that will be displayed on any post you make here, all the way down to account settings. Next, we have the "advanced search" tab. This is your RF search feature. Simply type in what it is you are specifically looking for and the function will do the rest for you displaying all of the threads it finds related to your search querry and lastly, your "log out" tab. Self explanitory....

      It seems that there are so many people in this hobby that are stressed every time they see something either growing or just appearing in their tanks.
