Foruminfo
Dear members of ICOM-CC,
WG-interactions,
the official forum site of ICOM-CC is now ready to be explored and used.
By inviting you to participate in this forum, ICOM-CC aims to stimulate more interactions between our multidisciplinary membership. You can raise topics/join discussions, private or with as much of your colleague-members or Working Groups involved, live, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, from every part of the world.
Please read the following info very carefully. As administrator of the site, I need your support to turn this forum site into a success. Most of the info can also be found on the forum site and should be seen as a comprehensive manual to get started and acquainted with the site.
Introduction
MWG-interactions is a forum site that gives ICOM-CC members the unique opportunity to start discussions in their own Working Group or with members of other Working Groups on subjects that benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. Just post a topic to the listed Working Groups that you want to be involved. Members of those WG's can react and give their own opinion about the matter or provide you with their professional advise.
Important! Before you register, read this:
Your registration will only be valid when following criteria are met: --1-- You have to register with your last name as your username (in case of identical usernames followed by a digit). Example: The username of John Smith will be entered as "smith" and that of Will Smith as "smith1". --2-- Once you have registered and logged in, you have to click the "Profile" button in the top menu bar, enter your ICOM-number in the "Location" field, and finish by clicking the “Submit” button at the end of the form. Important: When one or both criteria are not met, the administrator will regard you as a non-member and remove you from the site.
What are moderators?
Moderators are individuals (in this case the WG-coordinators) whose job it is to look after the running of their (WG-)forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material.
What can you expect from me, the administrator?
The administrator is assigned the highest level of control over the entire board. He can control all facets of board operation, which include setting permissions, banning users, creating user groups or moderators, etc. He also has full moderator capabilities in all the forums. I am also there to assist you when you need help.
Help, is there a user's manual?
If you are afraid to push buttons without knowing what next will happen or feel uncomfortable without a manual explaining how to use the forum, please go to the "FAQ" button in the top menu bar of the forum site. It deals with all user's issues in a well-structured and explanatory way. For step-by-step help, a support site with very useful flash tutorials is available:
