Site Settings

Page Size	How many messages do you want to be displayed on each page of the search results?
Show Sensitive Material Warning	Do you want to be notified of messages that contain potentially offensive material?
View Only Approved Messages	Select this database view if you want to read only postings that have been edited for quality, content, clarity, etc. The dialogue will not be as rapid, but the quality will be the same as what Y? has been praised for over the years. Deselecting this option will allow you to view unedited, raw postings to Y?, which will allow for more rapid but lower-quality dialogue that has not been screened for redundancy, vulgarity, incoherence, spam and more.
Show Full Message	Do you want to see the full message in search results instead of summaries? Note: if you select this option, we cannot warn you of potentially offensive material.
Receive Y? Forum Notifications	Do you want to receive periodic notifications from Y? Forum regarding the status of the service as well as communications from the site owner?
Receive Partner Notifications	Do you want to receive periodic partner notifications regarding special deals and related services?
