Since launch of the national message boards last week, Rivals compiled the most common questions we received so far on the boards.
Where can I find my old signature picture and how do I get that in to my new signature?
You can still go to the "Member Services" link in the top right hand corner of any current front page. From there, clicking "Message Board Options" will take them to a page to log in once more to access their preferences. You can find their signature code in "Message Board" options.
Once you have the URL only of the images you want to carry over you can simply hover over their username in the top right hand corner of the new boards and click Signature.
- Click the image icon. Insert the URL of the photo you wish to embed. Click “Insert.” That will add it to your signature area.

Simply use the @ symbol and begin typing the username of the person you wish to tag in a new thread or reply. Their name will appear in the drop down menu after the @ symbol. Click their username and you're set.
I don't want to get alerts on every thread I participate in. How do I turn that off?
Hover over your username in the top right hand corner and click "Preferences."
A window will pop up to manage your Preferences. Uncheck the first option that says: Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply...
