HOW TO CHANGE TIME AND LANGUAGE!!!

Hey! Maybe you don't live on the east coast of the Americas!

Or maybe you are are one of our many non-native English speakers!

Well, I don't have an easy way for you to translate the board's original content. But I CAN tell you how to modify some settings that will make some basic functioning of the board easier for you. The board is now available in 30 different languages and/or dialects and/or alphabets! (There may be more available...please feel free to request one if yours is not here.)

Here is how you do it.

First, go to the user's control panel, as circled in red here:

Select your preferred time zone, from the dropdown menu, opening it by clicking the arrow on the right.

(Unlike what you see here, the time may not instantly update, but don't worry.)

Select your preferred language, dialect or alphabet from the dropdown menu, opening it by clicking the arrow on the right.

The language has not appeared to update yet, but it will. Either click the link to return to the control panel, or click the chat forum icon at top to return to the forum.

If you return to the control panel, it will be in your selected language.

If you return to the forum, it will look like this.

I don't really recommend messing around with these settings unless you know the language you are switching to. Though, if you use this guide, you can probably find your way back. You will have a worse headache if you also switch your setting for the board's "style" at the same time, which moves everything around in your environment....so please don't do that.

Enjoy!
