How to Better Use The Forum... Please Read

Post by cprice12 »

Every forum is a little different, but here is how to get the best experience out of the LetsGoBlues.com Forums...

If You Are New
Please take a moment to introduce yourself in the "Introduce Yourself" thread.

Please take a moment to read over our Forum Policies:

It's pretty standard stuff...but if you aren't familiar with standard discussion forum protocol, then maybe take a look. We're not as strict as most forums, we want you to have fun and be free to discuss & debate, but we also don't want any NSFW (not safe for work) or overly offensive stuff here.

Contribute
If you are a lurker (one who views the site but rarely or never posts), please contribute. It will only make the forum that much better. The more action on the forum, the better...usually. :grin:
Just try to be respectful...for the most part. I know debates can get heated at times, and we allow for that...and that can be a great thing. But please refrain from personal attacks and things of that nature. If things escalate too much, we may have to lock up that thread. Thank you.

If you see an article or something you would like to share, share it here!
If you see something on NHL.com or TSN.ca or stlblues.com or wherever that is hockey related that you think the forum would enjoy...share it here!
Copy a portion of the article and post it here...and make sure you post a link to the original article so as to give credit.

UPDATED PLEASE READ: Posting Images
Something we all like to do/see...and we encourage this.
When posting images, please use the "Upload Attachment" option to post images.
This will avoid the issue of broken links to images when the source image is moved or deleted on the site it is from.

Here's how to properly post images on letsgoblues.com:
- Have the image saved on your computer.
- On the message editor screen, under "Upload Attachment" click "Choose File".
- Browse your computer and choose the image. Please make sure it is 800px wide or less. If it is wider than 800px, please resize it using an image editor first otherwise you will mess up the forum formatting for that thread.
- Click "Add File".
- If all you are doing is posting an image, click "Place Inline". Then submit your post.
- If you are commenting along with the image, you don't have to "Place Inline". Just comment and submit your post.

Your Forum Signature
We encourage you to add a signature to your posts. It can be anything you want...links, images, a phrase, etc...anything that defines what you like or who you are. Signatures always appear under each one of your posts.

Within your User Control Panel, you can add/edit your Avatar (your image under your name in the left column) and your signature (the area under your post). The maximum width for a signature is 650px.

Embedding Videos

Embedding YouTube Videos
Just paste the YouTube video URL. That's it.

Embedding Videos from NHL.com
Just paste the NHL.com video URL. That's it.

Embedding Tweets
Just paste the Tweet URL. That's it.

Promote LetsGoBlues.com
If you enjoy the forum, and you also post on other forums...please put a link to letsgoblues.com in your forum signature on that forum...if they allow for that kind of thing. The more active members we can have here, the better.
Or, if you want to promote LGB in a different way, please feel free to do so.

LetsGoBlues.com Radio Podcast
The ORIGINAL St. Louis Blues Hockey Podcast! Since 2011.
Every week during the NHL season we broadcast the LetsGoBlues.com Radio Podcast, LIVE, on YouTube. Anyone can join in and participate live with us on the air using the YouTube chat. Our shows are then available as a podcast the following day.
During the offseason, we also do weekly shows, but not usually live. These are typically shows with notable guests that are interviewed...and sometimes we do live shows similar to our regular season shows when there is Blues news to talk about.
You can listen to the show on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher...pretty much any podcast directory out there. It's also available to stream here at http://www.letsgoblues.com/radio.

Spam
I think we do a decent job of keep spam at bay. But sometimes stuff gets through. If you see a "Cheap High Quality Jerseys" thread, for example... DO NOT respond to it. Just report it using the "!" button within that post and we'll take care of it when we see it. Thank you.

Have Fun
That's what it's all about! Register, read, post, share, comment... and have a good time. And as always... LET'S GO BLUES!
