Important: Using The Forum

[Nathan]

Welcome to the JapanesePod101.com forums!

In this message, you'll find a quick guide to Getting Started. You can also check out a general list of Frequently Asked Questions. Be sure to read the Posting Guidelines once you're ready to post. If you have a question about getting started or using the forum that isn't covered here, please feel free to contact us at contactus@japanesepod101.com!

Getting Started

To begin participating in our forums, the first thing you need is a user account. If you have registered for any type of subscription (free or otherwise) on our main page, your account will have been automatically created, and if you log into the main site, you will automatically be logged into the forums as well. If you have not registered, please consider doing so - we offer a Free 7-Day Free Trial that will allow you to experience our Premium features as well as having the forum integrated into your complete JapanesePod101.com experience. You can sign up here.

If for some reason you would not like to register on the main site but would still like to participate in the forum, you can also create a forum account manually. To do so, click the Register link at the top of the forum and simply follow the directions. Please keep in mind that should you register on our main site later, you will not be able to choose the username that you register for manually here. If that is the case and you would like to use the same username, please contact us at contactus@japanesepod101.com and we will try to help you out.

Once your account is created and you are logged in, you can begin by replying to a previously created topic or by creating your own. To reply to a topic, simply open that topic and then click the "Post Reply" button that can be found at both the top and bottom of the topic. To create a new topic, choose the appropriate forum and click the "New Topic" button that can be found at both the top and bottom of the forum. Again, please keep our Posting Guidelines in mind when posting.
