  • General information Keywords and Parameters are generally of the form:
    Keyword= Parameter, e.g. [answers31:Send=Private]
    • We recommend you put new keywords on a line by themselves. Although you may put multiple keywords, especially Owner, Editor, and Moderator lines can get cluttered if you do.
    • Keywords may be in any order, but we recommend putting Owner information at the end.

    • After typing your changes, click on the Save button. Reload will discard your changes (back to the last Update)
