- How do I post messages?
Long version: If you want to post a new topic ("post"), you must attach a binary file with your message. Usually people attach picture, soundclip or short videoclip. It's fun and it get's the conversation flowing. If you are replying (answering to other message) you don't need to attach a binary file with your post if you don't want to. You can also enter URL (web-address) instead of uploading a file. There's a place for it below the "Local file"-part. You can enter URL that leads to a picture, soundclip or to a videoclip. You can also enter URL that leads to youtube-video, metacafe-video or google-video. You can try it on the Test-board, don't be afraid, it's safe! Also, if you link to a normal webpage, its current state will be thumbnailed and attached to your post.
Short version: If posting a new message, choose file OR enter URL, enter your message and press Post. If you are replying, enter your message and press Post.
- How do I reply?
Click on the reply icon
on the header of the post you want to reply to. Then enter your message and press Post. You can also attach a file with your reply if you like to.
- I feel uncomfortable writing long posts because the textbox for message is so small
Open wysiwyg-toolbar by clicking on it. Choose rightmost icon which says "Fit to window".
- What "URL" means?
URL is short for Uniform Resource Locator. Basicly, it's a webaddress. You should know this stuff. Please read more from Wikipedia
- What "File" means?
Really? It means a file on your computer (in this case). It can be a picture, soundclip or a videoclip. Or it can even be a compressed ZIP-file.
- Are there any hotkeys?
Yes! Alt-P for post, Alt-R for reset, Alt-S for search. They work on most browsers.
- Why do I have to attach a file?
It's fun, try it. You can reply to messages without attaching a file. Start with pictures! Google up some nice picture and post it with your message.
- What if I don't want to post a file, I am scared
Then you can only reply to other messages. Don't be afraid, you can even draw your own picture with paintbrush and attach it with your post! Sounds like fun, right?
- I can't play video
Do you have Adobe Flash installed? If not, then please install it. You can save the files to your computer and play them locally by clicking the small diskette icon
on the right side of the post.
- How can I post a picture from my mobile?
First you need to take a picture or select one from the gallery on your mobile. Then select "Send". If you have your email-configuration all set up, choose "by email", otherwise or if you are not sure, choose "send by MMS". Enter pic@petrisimolin.com as recipient and add a message to the body of the message (you can leave subject empty). Then send! Your picture and message will appear on board within 5 minutes. If not, please contact me at petri.simolin@gmail.com and complain. You can also send audio- and videoclips from your mobile, isn't it exciting!! This feature has been tested with iPhone, LG KU990, Samsung B2700, SE w880i, Nokia N82, N810, N900, N95, E50, E71, E75, E90, 5800, 6230i. It should work on other phones too.
- I don't speak English
Well, then you have to wait for translated version of this service. However, the content of the messages are usually in Finnish, so if you understand "File", "URL" and "Post", you should do fine.
- My post didn't come through as I thought it would, the picture/link is all wrong

- My 9-year old daughter uses this board and she ran into pictures of huge cocks, what do I do?
This service is for adults. Report yourself to child protective services as you clearly don't know how to raise your child. Not really, just kidding. :) But really, this service is not for children. Weird people post to these forums and they add .. humorous attachments which can be very scary or shocking to small children.
- I am offended by the pictures I see on this forum
Then this forum is clearly not for you. Go to some other forum. Does Disney have a discussion forum?
- I saw copyrighted picture/soundclip/videoclip on your forum! What should I do?
Really? Posters should respect copyrights and only post pictures that are made by themselves or released to public domain. Contact me at petri.simolin@gmail.com with information about infringing post and I will remove it immediately!
