The dark grey IC symbolises that 'new threads or messages' have been placed in
that category, since the last time you logged in. When you first register and
sign in to the Islam Channel Discussion Forum all of the IC circles should be
dark grey as you have not read any of the threads.

7. How do I enter the Sister's or Brother's section?
|
|
These two sections have been created to separate the sisters from the brothers.
After a new user posts 50 valid posts on the forum, they may edit their profile
and confirm if they are a brother or sister. All posts must be valid posts and
not considered spam. After verification is completed by the monitor, they may
enter this section insha Allah.
|
|
8. Where did my post go?
|
|
Sometimes, users post messages on the forum that do not abide by the terms and
conditions of the forum. Please read the terms page, which may explain why a
post was removed. However, sometimes a post is moved into a separate section. A
question on Islam should be in the Islam category and not Reviews and Media.
Infrequently, a forum member may disagree with the monitor's choice of removal
of thread if this is occurs please email
monitor@islamchannel.tv to enquire about a deletion.
