Welcome to 2nd JEEP-CLUB Newsletter.

As announced in first issue, today we cover few bits jeep-club.co.uk forum's structure. In general forum is divided into nine main sections. They are: chat, gallery, general chat, jeep-club bargains, technical discussion, events, globetrotter, the market and anything else.

First thing first – chat. Chat is forum's functionality offering real-time conversation for registered and logged in members. Of course if there is someone who wants to chat with you. Usually someone replies within minutes, so worth to try it if you need quick response.

Chat's visibility can be disabled or enabled from User Control Panel (UCP) - it's last tab on the right hand side of your UCP – mChat. Go there and if you switch 'Display mChat on Index' to Yes, chat will be visible, switch to No and it disappears. Not that chat is not available for Tapatalk users.

Gallery. That explains itself I think. It's our forum's gallery. You can upload files to existing sub-galleries (related) or ask Administrator to create your own private gallery. Images uploaded to the gallery should not exceed 512KB and 1280x1024 pixels in size. There is rating and comments system which allows you to share your views. Comments may be up to 2000 characters, just in case someone is bubbly ;) One more interesting feature is that you are able to uplink gallery image in post, which saves server space and your time in case you want to discuss image previously posted.

General Chat. As per it's name we discuss here various things. Category contains six sub-forums which includes Jeep chat – to discuss all Jeep related things but not detailed technical stuff. 

New Members. Next we have very important category New Members, where everyone should start using the forum quickly introducing her/himself. We do not discuss technical issues there. All threads which turn into 'how to's' are periodically moved to correct sections or deleted.

Off topic – paradise on every forum. We can discuss here anything, only please - be nice ;)

Members Jeeps. We encourage you to post pictures of your car. Also share with us modifications you have done to your Jeep, improvements or whatever you like and if it is related to your car. Section is hungry for pictures!

Event Pictures/Videos. Here we share our events photo stories and videos. Pictures don't have to be uploaded directly to the forum, it could be link to your facebook, picassa, G+ or any gallery. Please state clearly where and when pictures were taken, what kind of event it was and give us a brief story if possible.

Underground. 18+ section. Access granted by Administrator.

To keep Newsletters short we discuss the rest in next issue, mainly for the fact that few sections need a bit more detailed explanation, like for example Jeep-club Bargains and The Market.

Thank you for reading

Cheers
