Asterisks replace certain words (such as profanity) that may be deemed offensive by the Message Board administrator.

Icons

What do the icons at the top of a posted message mean?

You will see different icons at the top of a member’s post. Clicking on the link beside the “notepad” icon allows you send that member a private message that will not be visible to other members. The “people” icon lets you add that member to your buddy list. And the green “balloon” icon allows you to read that member’s blog, if he or she has one.
