QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BOARDS:
___________________________
1. What are these boards for?
The Click Five official message board is a place where music fans from all over the world can come together and interact. We are a community dedicated to getting out news about The Click Five, connecting fans to each other based on geographic location, connecting fans from all over the globe, and of course interacting with the band.
See forum descriptions for more intformation on each forum's specialties.

2. How do these boards function?
The Click Five forums are run collaboratively by a group of people. The mods are Amber, Priya, Stevie, Meesh, and me. Joey Z also posts/helps clean things up sometimes too.
On this board, new boardies and old boardies are expected to treat each other with respect. Moderators, mini-mods, boardies, and even the admin are expected to treat each other respectfully and equally as possible. While allowing for friend and regional cliques, everyone is invited to participate in every thread on every forum on these boards . The TheJade, JoeyZ, Ben, nate campany #2, and a few select others have somehow earned the ability to post everything and anything that comes to their minds...simply for the sheer quality of their posts and the nostalgia included within their words.

A word of caution: The chat rooms are REAL TIME. This means that they are unmoderated, and users should enter at their own risk.
All other content on the messageboards can be reported to moderators if users feel the need.

8. Do the guys read the boards and go into the chat?/What happened to Ben's Q&A?
At this point in time, we are not sure.
The guys do/did have usernames (Joey/JOEY Z, Ben/Ben, Joe/Joe, former member Eric/Eric Dill (and possibly other screen names), and Steve/Stevil), but the following was recently posted on the C5 website:

quote:

In today's world it's very easy to pose as someone else. Please be aware that none of the members of the band have a public myspace, facebook, friendster or any other networking page. Furthermore people claiming to be them on any of the instant messenger programs or in any chat rooms are not them. The guys are very active with their internet community but will only post in designated area's such as these OFFICIAL band sites: The Click Five's Myspace page, The Click Five's Pure Volume page, The Click Five's Buzznet page, Joey's Friend's or Enemies blog or any other announced "Official Page" which can be found on the interact page on theclickfive.com. Furthermore, the band will post from time to time on theclickfive.com's message boards. However, you will know it's really them because they will ONLY post in the "Band Blogs" section and will ONLY appear in The Click Five's Chat Rooms if it has been previously announced on the theclickfive.com. Now...if you're happy and you know it Clap your Hands! CLAP CLAP!

9. What is a PM?
A PM is a Private Message. You can send messages to other members of the board rather than posting them on the public board. To start a PM to someone you need to click on their name and click on "Invite to Private Topic". To check your PM's you should see a little thing that says "New PM!" next to the little yellow arrow. You can also check your PM's by clicking on Go in the top left corner and then go to Personal Zone and go down to Private Messaging.


10. What is a karma title/how do you get points?
You karma title and points are determined by the number of posts you have made. You get one karma point for each post. The following are the different karma titles:

Level Title Required Points
1 ***newbie*** 0
2 ***FAN*** 100
3 ***SUPER FAN*** 400
4 ***INSANE FAN*** 800
5 ***ULTIMATE FAN*** 1200
6 ***STRAIGHT UP CLICKER*** 3000
7 I Officially Have No Life. 5000
However...please don't post a bunch of nonsense post just to try to up your karma points! Moderators use karma titles to help identify the level of boardies.

11. How do I edit or delete a post?
In the top right corner of your post there should be a little folder that has an eraser on it. Click that and you can edit your post OR if you want to delete your post then next to the "Post Now" button there is a link that says "Delete Message...?" click that and then click "Continue". Poof! Your post is gone.

OTHER QUESTIONS:
________________

24. What is The Click Five's font, and how do I install it?
The old/original font is Adler. You can download it for free by clicking HERE!
You have to have the newest version of WinZip which you can try for free at http://www.winzip.com. Once the font is finished downloading winzip will pop up. If you downloaded the free trial, click "Use Evaluation Version" then keep clicking next until you reach something that says "Unzip then the filename" it will then unzip it then open a folder with the font. Keep this folder open while you open the fonts folder located in Control Panel. Then drag the font you downloaded into the fonts folder.

25. Is there a rivalry between BSB and TC5?
NO!!! Why would there be a rivalry? Here is what Joey said:
"if this is in print somewhere...it is a misquote...we have said countless times that we are different than bsb and other "boy bands" because we are!! there really can’t be many comparisons made except for the fact that we both love poppy music. we're different things..we are a rock band and they are a vocal group. i don’t think there is any debate there. we would never diss backstreet though..because not only are they our friends but we all acknowledge that they are extremely talented...and trust me none of us would ever say they lip-synch...because they don't and beyond that they are awesome singers. just wanted to clear it up before this rumor gets blown out of proportion"
So stop posting all the rivalry posts!

26. How do you make these little hearts? ♥
Type “& hearts;” (without the quotes and without the space)

27. Windows Movie Maker and screen shots (brought to you by Helen):
Screen shots
One way to do screenshots is if you have Windows Movie Maker. WMM, for short, is on the new Windows computers. This is a program that you could also do to make videos like the tour diaries.
First, open up WMM, then make sure 'tasks' is selected, which is on the top of the page. The left side will show a whole bunch of options. Select the 'import video' option. The video MUST be compatable with WMM. That usually means Windows Media format. The video will show up, sometimes in incriments, as picture icons in the middle of the page. Highlight all (click and drag mouse over, or click one and pressl 'ctrl' and a) and drag to the bottom of the page, which is the editer. It needs to get placed in the video section. Then play the video. Under the actual video, which plays on the right side, there are two buttons. One does splitting (which is for when you want to cut out some video) and the other is a still image. Just click on that, and it will save for you.
You cannot play a video from Windows Media, Quick Time, Real Player, etc, and expect that if you copy it to MS Paint that it will become a screen shot. Don't know why, but it doesn't. Dont try it. If you do, don't say I didn't warn you.

Windows Movie Maker Tutorial
To make videos on Windows Movie Maker, or WMM for short, is simple once you know how! It's really fun to mess around and create things. Only newer Windows have this program, though.
Once inside, familiarize yourself with the buttons. To see your collection of videos, click on 'collections' on the top of the page, or just click on the drop box of collections. Collections are anything you import to WMM. They show up in the middle of the page as icons. Videos may come in incriments. For options, click on 'tasks' which is next to 'collections.' The right side will show a list of options. The first set is for importing, the second is for transitions, titles, and special effects, the third is for saving/sending, and the forth is for teaching you how to use it.
1) Importing:
You may import sound, video, and pictures. It will show up in the middle of the page under the collections. As said before, videos may show up in incriments. If the sound, video, or picture, gets deleted off the computer, it will show up as an 'x' and cannot be used. WMM only accepts videos that are for Windows Media. When you want to use what you collected, drag what you want down to the bottom, which is the editing area. When dragging, it will only be placed in the proper category, which you will see when viewing the program.
2) Special Effects/Transitions/Titles:
Click on special effects and they will appear in place of your collections. Dont worry, your collections aren't gone. Click and drag your chosen special effect on top of your video. You can use some, such as the brighten or darken effect, more than once in one frame.
For Transitions, click and drag in between videos. This is why storyboard view is easlier.
If you want a title on, before, or after, select your desired frame and click on the titles option. It will continue to give you instructions.
3) Saving/Sending:
If you are not done with your video, go to 'file' and save the way you already know how. However, if you're finished, I do not recommend saving it that way. The reasons why are because if you choose to delete something off your computer that's included in the video, it will also be deleted off WMM. Also, if you upload it for us boardies to see, many can't see it because it would only play in WMM. This is why you save in this area...."save to computer."
4) Self help:
self explanatory, I would think.

The editing area:
You can view this area in two ways, as a storyboard or as a timeline. As said before, storyboard may be easier for transitions to be included. Timelines show how long the videos are. You can magnify closer if you need to pay attention to details time wise.) When playing what you have so far, under the video, you will see two buttons. If you want to cut out part of song or a video, you can do so by using the splitting button. If you want to make a screen shot you can do so by pressing the screen shot button. Another cool thing is that you can have sounds fade in an out by right clicking your mouse over a frame when it's in the editing area.
Also, you can record sounds yourself with the microphone button that's in the editing area. I personally do this when I want a song from a video or a song that I can't save properly.

I will warn you that there's been a couple of people (me and Jordanne) and possibly more who experience frequent freezing of the program. I recommend saving after every little thing if this happens for you. Frusterating, yes....but finishing products are worth it, haha.
Questions, please PM me. We have a million posts on this subject, so it's easier to just have a thread on it. If you still have questions, please PM me (Flotus) and I can help you out to the best of my knowledge.

AGAIN: if you have a question that is not answered here please PM one of the mods, or feel free to ask your question in a reply to this post.
