What does it mean to subscribe to a topic? (13/02/2008)
The button 'subscribe to topic' enables you to automatically receive email alerts when a new comment has been posted.
User Avatar - Personal Image (13/02/2008)
All user images (Avatar) can be uploaded and changed within your personal profile page. Go to "mycook" and then to "my profile page" and under your own settings your find the category "avatar/photo". Our CooksUnited Server then saves two images sizes: a large one which shows in your profile page and a smaller one which appears in the forums or groups next to your user name.
Why can images be seen in some forum entries and in others not? (13/02/2008)
Cooksunited.co.uk is using Caching. This means that all data is saved, however, the updating process takes a bit of time (and is usually done overnight). So if you have just uploaded a new photo it may or may not show immediately but it has already been securely saved on our server. If a new forum entry has been submitted, the Caching usually updates all data automatically within an hour and your new pictures should show. So please be patient and wait for our Caching system to update all files and data and within a couple of hours – and at the very latest after 12 hours – all profile changes should be visible to everyone.
What do the little orange dots under a user name mean? (13/02/2008)
The little dots indicate the activity of every user. The more points, the more active the user is. Depending on the amount of points, the user symbols are allocated. Running over them with your mouse a description of each symbol becomes visible.
What is a tag search and how do I use it? (13/02/2008)
Under New Recipe you find all search tags on the right hand side which you can use to search for a recipe. Click on a tag or enter a tag of your choice in the box and click enter. For further information about tagging please click here: Recipe Submission: Tagging
Who do I contact in the case of a technical problem? (04/04/2008)
If you have encountered a technical problem like a login problem or you cannot see a recipe or you have noticed a mistake anywhere then please email support@cooksunited.co.uk. Please list the technical problem with as much needed and necessary detail as possible including your operating system and browser information. This will enable the support team to help more quickly and efficiently.
How can I cancel the Newsletter and Recipe of the Day subscription? (04/04/2008)
If you are not interested in receiving the CooksUnited Newsletter anymore then you have two choices.
1) Click on the link at the bottom of the last Newsletter you have received.
2) Go to http://www.cooksunited.co.uk/newsletter.php where you find a form to unsubscribe from the newsletter. Enter your email address and choose the type of Information you do not wish to receive anymore (Newsletter, Recipe of the Day) and then click the submit button.
In any case you will receive an email to confirm your cancellation. In this email you find an activation link you have to click on in order to enable your unsubscription. If you have cancelled both subscriptions it is important that you click the activation links in both emails in order to cancel both subscriptions separately.
