I will be using this thread to help explain some of the site features. Let me know if you have any questions.

Tip #1: Supplement Reviews

Did you know that you can add supplement reviews at MAB?

Your submitted reviews help with Google traffic, bringing more visitors and to MAB. Please take time to write a review of any supplements you have used.

Here is the link for the main supplement reviews page:

How to leave a review:

--Step 1: Find the product your are looking for on the reviews page via brand or product category.
--Step 2: Scroll to the bottom of that product page and look for the section "Leave a reply".
--Step 3: In the leave a reply section, enter your name or nickname, and review in the comments box.
--Step 4: Add STAR ratings for various aspects of the supplement, including VALUE, EFFECTIVENESS and more!

Tip #4: Understanding Reputation Titles

Different levels of rep points provide different rep titles. If you hold your mouse over someone's rep points/bars, you will see something like:

"Bodybygamma is a lifting beast"

"glwanabe is a lifting machine"

"Joe Weider is either a troll or a spammer"

The following is the amount of rep points required for each rep title:

Note: This title and point system was adjusted on 11/27/2010 to reflect the spirit and rep standards on the forum.

Tip #5: Creating a favorites list.

Favorites. You are now able to create your own thread favorite lists for easy access. When on a thread, click "thread tools" and you will see a "add thread to favorites" link in the drop down menu. Once you click this thread, a "favorites" link will appear in the top navigation menu where you can easily access your favorite threads/logs.

Tip #6: Twitter-like status.

Twitter-like status. Look under your name on any post, or under your name on your profile and you now see an "edit" button. Click this, and you are able to create a current "twitter-like" status. Once done, hit "save" and this status appears under your name in italics across the forum.

Tip #7: Today's Top Posters

Today's Top Posters. I added a "today's top posters" section at the bottom of the front page below the "current active users" section.

Tip #8: Rating helpful posts

4) Helpful Posts. You can now rate helpful posts by clicking on the GREEN THUMB's UP image at the bottom right hand of the post.
