    You can select the option to receive a email ( on the email account you used in your profile ) as notification if anyone replies to any of your threads or posts.
    You can select to save any of your sent messages and the replies to it so you can keep track of anything important discussed in mail.
    You can select to get a notification if someone quotes you in their post.
    You can select to get a notification if someone visits your profile page ( the page itself only shows the last visitors, so if you get many visitors this might come in handy ).

    2.4 Date and Time Options



    You can select the time stamp of your posts by selecting the timezone here, this means you can either select your own timezone or set it to UK-server time ( GMT ).
    Note: there is a forum issue where automatically detect DST settings will fail, so if you see that your local time is incorrect it is possible you need to set this manually everytime DST changes

    You can select the start of your week by selecting the day you prefer.

    Forum overview

    Now that you finished setting up your account ( profile ) and settings to your preference, lets have a look at what the forum looks like.






    As you can see it's kind of a big place.
    Lots of area's with space for almost everything related to settlers.
    The forum on thesettlersonline.com provides space for the 3 UK servers.
    Most areas and sections are for all 3 of them, but there is also a server based section that allows players to discuss topics
    that are only related to the players on their server ( guild recruitment, discussions and marketplace ).
    As the guide continues you will be able to find every thread, the correct place for your " new " thread, the rules on our forum
    and how to create / remove / update threads, posts you made.
    it's important you read up on our forum rules before creating a thread ( this forum is moderated ) as it will save you lots of work
    to alter / delete / move anything you posted.

    Note: GUILD RECRUITMENT posts can only be posted in " world forums " under your specified server and only 1 thread per guild is allowed.
