New Members Read! Everything you need to know about the ECF

This thread is meant to give new members important forum-related information, all in one place for easy reference.

First things first. This forum has rules, and all members are expected to know them and follow them. The forum rules can be found here: Forum Rules

All new members have to start off in the New Members Forum for their first five posts. Details can be found here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/78262-new-members-how-many-posts-do-i-need.html

Are you a new member with less than five posts, but the forum won't let you create a new thread? Check your email! The forum sends you an email upon registration with a link that you must click in order to verify and activate your account. Don't see it in your email Inbox? Check your spam folder. Sometimes it gets put in there erroneously.

Having issues with your registration? DO NOT TRY TO "START OVER" BY CREATING ANOTHER ACCOUNT!!! We don't allow multiple accounts here (Remember the link to the forum rules I posted above?), and doing so will cause your extra accounts to be banned, and causes our volunteer Moderators a lot of work. Create a Support Ticket and explain your issue by clicking on the Contact Us at the bottom of every page.

Are you an e-cigarette vendor or manufacturer? BEFORE YOU POST ANYTHING, you must register with us as a supplier before you post on our forum. This is for the protection of our members, and failure to do so will result in your account being temporarily deactivated as an unregistered ECF supplier while your status is resolved. Please contact via email : supplier@e-cigarette-forum.com so we can assist you.

If for some reason you don't like the username you've chosen (hey, it happens more often than you would think), you can request a username change here: Changing username

Important options in your Settings: To upload a Profile picture (the pic that shows in your profile) go to "Edit Profile Picture".
