Welcome to Saxperience.
 

I'd like to give all new members a warm welcome to the Saxperience Community. :clapping:

Saxperience is moderated to ensure members can maximise their enjoyment of the community and share information in a welcoming environment.

Please ensure you take a look at the Community Guidelines and abide by them.

Saxperience operates a yellow-card / red-card system for members deemed not to be following the community guidelines. Further information about this infraction system is available for you to read.

Whilst you interact with members within the Saxperience Community you may earn or lose reputation points, dependant upon how helpful or respectful you act. Further information regarding the Saxperience Reputation System is available for you to read.

Account Activation

In order to participate within the online Saxperience Community you must register with a valid email address. As soon as you register a user account an email is sent to your defined email account with instructions of how to activate your user account.

If you have not received this activation email, it is likely that the email address you supplied is not valid, or your email service provider has categorised the activation email as SPAM. Hotmail is notorious for doing this... please check your Spam mail or Junk mail inboxes before contacting me.
Activation emails are sent automatically - If you are encountering a problem, it is likely that this problem rests at your 'end' of the chain.

Custom Avatars, Signatures and For Sale / Wanted Forums

The use of certain priveleges within the Saxperience Community have to be earned. When you first register your user account is labelled as a 'new member'. Once you have made 100 posts within the Saxperience community AND have been a registered member for 30 days, your account will automatically be upgraded to 'regular member'. Automatic upgrades are performed once each hour... so please wait a little while before assuming something is wrong.

When you become a 'regular member' you will have the ability to make use of custom avatar images and signatures... as well as a number of other features, such as being able to edit your posts and thread titles.

You will only be able to access the For Sale & Wanted forums once you have satisfied the 100 post and 30 day registration stipulations. I understand you may see this as an inconvenience, but this is try to protect all saxperience members from rogue traders.

More information will be added soon, but I hope this brief note helps you to understand some of the frequently asked questions regarding new member registration.

Thanks
Simo

Welcome everyone to Sax-p :) Also if you fancy getting more involved than just on the forums, check out your regional sections regularly for up and coming meets/events (These are properly organised and are not 'Cruise' based meetings)- Various activities take place from time to time such as Go-Karting, Paintballing, Barbeques, Meals & Social evenings etc. Apply to the region to make it easy for people to contact you about these events if you are interested

To join a Region:

1) Click onto your 'user CP' (this is on the homepage where your profile is)
2) Scroll down the left hand menu and look under 'Miscellaneous'
3) Click on 'Group Memberships'
4) Select which group your most suited to location wise (Click in circle)
5) Click 'Join Group' at the bottom of that page

to add a custom avatar.

click on "user cp"
then click on "edit avatar" on the left hand side
then either paste the image address from a picture hosted elsewhere - imageshack/photobucket etc, or browse for a picture on your computer

then save changes....

please take note the maximum size of your custom image is 120 by 120 pixels

also you need to be a regular member (have 50+ posts) to do this
