I'm locked out of the website - what happened?
BBP Online memberships for individuals are assigned a single user name and password, for use on a single computer.  The system can detect when two different computers are trying to login using the same user name and password.  This is designed to protect your membership from being abused if your login information is shared or stolen. 

If this is detected, your account will automatically be locked for 24 hours.

If this happens to you by accident, please let us know and we'll unlock your account as soon as we can.

What are the rules for the BBP Discussion Forums?
The discussion forums are provided as a way for you to ask questions, seek opinions, offer advice, and in general connect with other subscribers. In order for the discussion forums to work, we ask that you follow these guidelines:

• Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.
• Do keep it clean - A differance of opinion between subscribers is acceptable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language.
• Do stay on topic - If you are going to reply to a post, make sure you are placing it in the correct area. Use the reply button below the original post.
• Do not post commercial messages. This means don't use the discussion forums for self promotion.

How do I contact BBP Online?
