How do I sign up?
Easy peasy. Most posting elements on Holy Moly are all wrapped up in one piece of piss sign up form. Just click here to sign up. If you've already signed up then login using your username and password on the LOGIN area on the left hand of the page.
If you've forgotten your password, don't panic, just click the "forgotten password" on the same box.

How Do I Post Images and Links?
To post an image you need to wrap this little bit of code around the URL of the picture, which can be found by right-clicking on the image, opening Properties and copying the URL there.
POSTING AN IMAGE CODE:
Remember to include the quotation marks.
You can’t post images from your computer’s hard drive unless you’ve already hosted them on a site like Flickr or tinypic.
To post a page link simply cut and paste it the URL of the page you want to link to into your message, making sure you put a space before it. If it’s a really long URL, use tinyurl or you’ll break the board and we’ll come round and break your legs.
We do the rest, we’re that good to you.

What can I talk about?
Well, it's a gossip website, so get all your juicy stories on there. Having said that, most people ignore the gossip part and use it as a kind of online Speaker's corner. But be aware if you annoy or bore people, you'll get shouted at, deleted or generally disgraced.
I am obviously legally obliged to remind you to look at the sites Terms and Conditions for more information etc.

Why has my post been deleted?Whilst we try and be as liberal as possible and advocate free speech, the following stuff will just get deleted, whether in context of a joke or a "comedy" character or otherwise:
- Any form of racist language, innuendo or nicknames
- Any form of malicious homophobic language or comment.
- Anything even remotely 'rapey'. e.g. "ooh kick her fucking back doors in and rape her face"
The moderators will delete stuff they deem to be out of order. You may not like it, but tough shit - don't be out of order then. Having said that, they will NOT delete you just for the hell of it. They don't get paid, therefore have much better things to do(!) with their time than sit and wait for your post before pouncing.
It's a messageboard, enjoy it, but... y'know. It's a messageboard.

How do I sign up then?
All you need to do is click sign up in the Login box on the left, type out your name, username, email address and a password and click away.
Holy Moly! will then send you a link you’ll need to click to confirm your registration. So, pretty much like any other registration process, really.
NB: Your password needs to be six or more characters long and can contain numbers and lower and uppercase letters. Passwords are case sensitive.
And Then What?
Then you can login whenever and for as long as you want, build you profile, post pictures and videos, send messages and all sorts of other things. Probably.

Once you’ve registered (see REGISTRATION), you can…

Click the SIGNUP button over on the top left of the page at the bottom of the LOGIN box, wait for the page to load then fill in your Name, pick a Username, add your email address and pick a password.

How Do I Do All These Things? Follow the links in the Member Options drop-down menu on in the top left hand corner of the page once you’ve logged in. It should all be very obvious how you do all of these things, however, although we know you’re not a bloody idiot, it’s worth noting two things about adding pictures and videos.
|
|
One Thing (adding pictures) To add pictures, simply browse your hard drive by clicking the browse button. Once you’ve found the picture, simply click open, give it a title, click ADD IT, and your picture will miraculously appear. If you want to add a picture you’ve found on the internet, simply right-click on it, “save image as” and then upload it from whichever folder you’ve saved it to on your hard drive.If you use a Mac, this will be a little different, but if you use a Mac you’re probably some stupid haired and difficult glasses wearing designer type who knows all about this kind of thing anyway.
|
|
Another Thing (adding videos)
You can add videos from all sorts of video hosting sites, including YouTube, Google Video and some others that we’d never even heard of before. Just use the drop-down Video Provider menu on the Add Videos page. However, you can’t, yet, add videos directly from your own computer. You’d need to upload them to a hosting site (YouTube, Google Video, et bloody cetera) first and then link to them. The instructions for uploading from each of the providers are simple.

How Do I Delete My Profile, Pictures And Videos? Soon you’ll be able to delete everything yourself, but right now if you do want to delete your profile, and we hope you don’t because we like having you here – even the horrible ones – email holymoly@holymoly.co.uk and we’ll take it down as soon as we can.In the short term however, you can delete all the details in your profile by simply clicking the edit link next to The Facts, or clicking the EDIT PROFILE link and manually deleting everything you’ve put in there.
For now, however, only we can take down your pictures and videos.

The Mailout
Sign up the get the unbeatable, uneatable and occasionally unreadable Holy Moly! mailout every Friday. Foul mouthed, first with the news and free. Then spend the rest of the week trying to find out which actor it is that likes to be shat on during sex, and which C-list reality TV twat got caught bumming a dog while shovelling industrial quantities of cocaine up their nose. Holy Moly! will only use the email address to send you the Friday mailout and the very occasional breaking news story, such as, erm, Courtney Love’s death.
It will not be sold on, passed to double glazing sales morons, or given to dodgy companies trying to sell fake Viagra or pills that make you come like a horse.

Can I Get A Plain Text Version Of The Mailout?
No. Holy Moly doesn’t do plain text mailouts any more because they look shit, like something from 1999.If you are still in the Stone Age, have a brick for a phone and a wind-up ZX Spectrum, don’t worry (even though you should, you Luddite).
You’ll be sent a link to a webpage hosting the mailout instead. See, everyone’s a winner.
|
Mailout TipsHoly Moly! strongly recommends that you register using a non-work email address. If your employer is one of those paranoid idiots whose email controls mean you can’t even communicate with clients in Scunthorpe or Cockfosters, the mailout will get blocked. Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo are your friends. To make sure that the mailout is not blocked by spam filters or any nonsense like that, you should add mailout@holymolymailout.co.uk to your address book. If you’re not sure how to do that, take a look here
