RunRyder moves topics, usually within the first 24 hours of posting, for several different reasons. The main reason topics are moved is to place the topic in a more specific forum. Topics are frequently placed in the Main Discussion that would be better served in a different forum. For example, an electric helicopter topic would be moved off the Main Discussion to the e-Electric General Discussion. RunRyder offers the option of surfing and seeing only electrics and many members view Electric forums only. If the topic title points to a specific model (for example: Century Swift) it will be moved to the e-Century Hummingbird & Swift forum. Many vendors only visit their specific forum therefore your topic would be better addressed in the product specific forum. The Main Discussion is not a place for Classified deals that have gone bad. Warning other RR members of a bad guy should be placed in the CLASSIFIEDS - Feedback - Scams forum. Classified topics may also be moved if the item being sold belongs in a different category or if the item sold is not RC helicopter related. RunRyder only allows Classifieds for non RC helicopter related items to be placed in CLASSIFIEDS - Trade or Wanted forum or the e-Classifieds Elec-Trade Wanted forum. The top of each classified forum explains this rule. **If you believe your topic was moved and you are unable to locate it, click the  logo located at the top of every page. This will display all your topics and their location.

Smilies are small graphical icons which you can insert into your messages to convey an emotion or feeling, such as a joke or embarrassment. For example, if you enter a sarcastic comment, rather than type 'that was a joke', you could simply insert the 'wink' smilie. If you have used email or internet chat systems, you will probably be familiar with the concept of smilies already. Certain combinations of text characters are converted into smilies. For example: :) is converted into a smiling face. To prevent the text in your message from being converted into smilies, check the Disable Smilies Option before making a post.
