| Q: |
What are message boards? |
| A: |
Message boards are a place where you can have conversations with other users over an extended period of time. As opposed to chats, where you "talk" in real time, message boards allow you to post comments for others to read at their convenience and then reply.
Message boards are available for all artists, and for most VH1 shows, as well. |
| Q: |
How do I read a message? |
| A: |
On Message Boards, all messages are contained by discussions. Click the underlined text of the discussion to read all the messages it contains. Messages are shown in order of most recent posted. |
| Q: |
Can I change the way I view messages? |
| A: |
Messages are displayed in one of two ways - linear or threaded. Linear format lists messages as they are received, in chronological order (or reverse, if you prefer); there is no differentiation between original postings and replies. On threaded boards, replies are grouped with their original messages - you can tell which replies go with a message because they are indented under the original posting.
To switch between the two views, click the links that say "Linear View" or "Threaded View." |
| Q: |
How do I post a message? |
| A: |
To post a message to the board, you must be a registered VH1.com user.

- If you want to receive emails letting you know when people respond to your posting, check the "Notify me when someone replies to my post" box.
- To see how your message will look before posting, click "Preview." To send it immediately, click "Post Now."
- Check back periodically for new posts (if you haven't asked to be notified of responses by email).
|
| Q: |
How do I reply to messages already posted? |
| A: |
Once you've read a message, do the following to post a reply:
- Click the "Post Reply" link located below the message text.
- The Subject field will contain the text of the original subject, but you can change it if you want to.
- In the "Message" field, type your reply.
- If you want to receive email to let you know when people respond to your posting, check the "Notify me when someone replies to my post" box.

| Q: |
Can I delete or edit my messages? |
| A: |
You cannot edit or delete a message once you hit the "Post Now" button. Click the "Preview" button to view your message before you post, to make sure it says exactly what you want to say. |
| Q: |
How can I report abuse on the boards? |
| A: |
To report abuse, do one of the following:
- Click on the "Report Abuse" link to the right of the post. This sends an automated message to VH1 board moderators to take a look at the message your report. You must be logged in to use the "Report Abuse" feature.
- Send an email to vh1help@mtvn.com.
