Why should I register for membership?
Becoming a W member is easy & free! When you're a member you can use any of our interactive features on Wnetwork.com such as the message boards, customized TV schedule, and submitting questions to the stars of your favourite W Network shows.
When you become a WNetwork.com Member, you create a username, which is your screen name. Your username and password are unique and can only be used by you.
Your user name is what appears beside each post you make in the message boards. You cannot use any special characters (for example, a comma or exclamation mark) or spaces in your user name and it must be at least 5 characters long. We strongly recommend that you use some sort of nickname rather than your actual name. Please note that we have numerous user names in our database, so there is a possibility that your desired user name has already been taken. In this case, you can try to use something similar, for example, add a number to the end of the desired user name.
For technical reasons, you cannot change your user name.

What are message boards?
They're a great way to communicate with others in an online community! Unlike chat (where conversations are short, quick and only seen by current chatters), the posts on message boards stick around on the site and can be longer in length. Use the boards to debate issues, share opinions, find advice and begin friendships.
How do they work?
Someone 'posts' a comment or question that other can read, and if they choose, reply to. W message boards are divided into different theme areas (e.g. Relationships, Food, Health) and within these areas are topics/forums that relate to the themes. For instance, under the Relationships theme there is a topic/forum for Sex.
How do I read postings?
Click whichever board subject interests you.
After you choose a board, you will see a list of messages that members have posted about that subject. These messages are referred to as "original posts" - which means that they are the first post in a thread. ("Thread" is term used to describe a specific posting and its replies.) If there are any replies to the original post, there will be a bracket beside the title of the message telling you how many replies there are.
To read a message, just click on it to open it up. Any replies to it will be listed underneath. You can either open the replies up individually, or you can click on 'View All Responses' to open them all up automatically.
How do I reply to a posting?
You must be a W member in order to reply. It's quick and easy to do to register. Once you're logged in, you can click the "Reply" button to reply to any message. Then type your response in the message field and click 'Submit.'

How do I start a new thread?
If you want to write about something that no one has posted any messages about yet, just start your own discussion thread. It's easy to do - go to appropriate board forum and click on "'Post a Message."
Enter the title of your post into the "Subject" field. Then type your message in the "Message" field. When you're done, click "Submit." The post will appear on the web page immediately.
Tips for using the message boards:
- Keep your posts relatively short - although there are no space constraints, people are more apt to read and respond to shorter messages.
- Be detailed - don't just post your views, tell everyone WHY you feel that way!
- Please don't type your message in all capital letters as this makes the post hard to read.
- Remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion - so don't criticize or make fun of others if they like something you don't.
- Do NOT post anything that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, defamatory vulgar, obscene, profane or otherwise objectionable. Your post will be deleted.
