Montana Owners Club Tutorial

Updated ~ April 16, 2006

Below is latest MOC Tutorial.  It contains some very useful information about how to use the Forum more effectively.

Prior to registration make sure you have your Norton Internet Security Feature you need to disable it while you register. Norton overreacts and considers it a security threat???  After you register and activate your account you can turn it back on. 

 

 

You need to have your computer set up in this manner to use the forum easily:

 

 

*      Find out what browser, operating system and if you have a firewall running.

 

*      Please make sure you check if the time, date and year are set correctly on your computer.

 

 

 

If you are running Internet Explorer 6, do the following:

 

 

*      Click Tools > Internet Options ~ Privacy

 

*      Under "Websites" at the bottom click "Edit" (on the right)

 

*      Under "Address of Website" type forumco.com and click "allow".

 

*      Click OK at the bottom of the box.  This brings you back to the privacy popup box.

 

*      Click "Advanced" in the middle of the box.

 

*      Make sure that "Override automatic cookie handling" is checked.

 

*      Under "first party cookies" check "Accept"

 

*      Under "third party cookies" check "Accept"

"Don't reload automatically"

"Reload Page Every Minute"
