3 Overview To help you get the most from this site, we ve put together this instruction document. It explains each section in detail so you can get to the important stuff without too much distraction or frustration. The Pahrump Valley 4 Wheelers site consists of the Home Page, the Calendar, the Gallery and the Forum. Each of those sections is explained further in this document, but there are a few points you need to be aware of before you begin. These points affect the overall use of the site and a clear understanding will help you avoid any problems. You need to be aware that the Calendar, Gallery and Forum are three separate programs and they each require their own login. There is no one login for all three of them. You will need to log in to each one individually in order to use it. If you don t have a user account, contact the webmaster so they can create a user account for you. The webmaster will create an account for you in all three sections and will notify you of the username and password to use. As an added bonus, each user gets an account at this domain. The address looks like firstname.lastname@pahrumpvalley4wheelers.com and this account can be set up to forward any s it receives to the address that you use normally (i.e. hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc). Only authorized users can post events on the Calendar, add pictures to the Gallery and post comments on the Forum. To un-authorized users, these screens are view-only. The Forum also allows any user to create an account directly in the forum screens, whether they are members of the club or not. This allows other 4 wheelers to participate in a discussion without being a club member. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO COVER ALL THE FEATURES AVAILABLE ON THE WEB SITE. IT ONLY COVERS THOSE FEATURES COMMONLY USED BY THE AVERAGE USER. IF YOU NEED MORE DETAILED INFORMATION, TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROGRAM S DOCUMENTATION AS FOLLOWS: - For the Calendar, select Help\Help Contents\Documentation from the Calendar menu - For the Gallery, go to - For the Forum, click the Help button from the Forum page We are always looking for new ideas for the web site, so please contact the webmaster with any comments or suggestions!

4 The Home Page The home page introduces the club and provides links to a map and to the webmaster as well as buttons to each of the sections. The small slideshow is from a couple of our latest runs.

5 The Calendar The Calendar page provides a Public Access view and a Logged in view. Only logged in users can add or edit events.

6 To add an event, click the Login button to display the login screen. Enter your user name and password that the administrator created for you. You can skip this login screen next time by clicking the Save login check box. Notice that the Logged in view displays an Events option.

7 Click Add New Event to add an event. Events are added in 2 steps. Step 1 - Select the Details tab to enter the event information. Step 2 Select the Participants tab to control who can see this event. Click Save to save your event to the calendar. IMPORTANT: The save step can take up to a minute and may display this cryptic error message (next page), but the event information is still saved.

8 Go back to the main calendar screen to make sure your entry was added correctly.

9 The Gallery The Gallery supports both Public and Private photo albums. This section explains how to create albums and upload files into it. There is a limit on the size of the image files that can be uploaded as follows: - Maximum height or width 1000 pixels - Maximum file size 1MB There is an excellent (and free) file resizing program available here: You can use this program to resize a batch of files all at once!

10 Click Login to access the user s features. Enter your user name and password that the administrator created for you. You can skip this login screen next time by clicking the Remember Me check box. Notice that the Logged in view displays options to post your photos.

11 Create / order my albums You must create an album before you can post photos. Click the New button to create the new album, and then change the name from New Album to the name you want in the text box at the bottom of the page.

This is where you control who can see your photos.

12 Modify my albums The Modify albums option allows you to change many important settings for each album. Scroll down on this screen to see the options related to permissions. This is where you control who can see your photos. You can select the album that you want to modify using the drop-down list at the right side of the shaded menu bar. Select Upload file or Edit to add/change photos in the current album.

13 The Forum The Forum allows both club members and non-members to discuss all things off-road. For now, this forum is un-moderated, which means that anyone can post anything, but that can easily be changed if necessary.

14 Click the Login button to login.

15 Once logged in, the user can participate in any of the current discussions or start a new topic. Topic summary view: Topic detail view:
