How to add a new person to the new board system


First, log in to Fireside, make sure you're viewing the board you want to add a member to (eg. if the new member is for the Moderators board, make sure the Moderators board is highlighted in the left sidebar; if not, click the name of the board to load it).

Second, click on the "Members" link just below "Read messages" in the left sidebar.  A new dialog will open, showing a list of current members. Click on the "Add New User" button in the top bar of the dialog.

Third, type the new user's email address in the email address slot, and before typing in all their other info (eg. name), just click the "Create User" button.  That will check if the person is already in the system or not.  If the person is already in the system, you'll see a message asking whether you want to load the pre-existing user into the board.  In that case you can click Load and you won't have to type in their name etc because it's already in the system.  If they're not in the system, you'll just get a reminder saying you have to type their name, etc.  Go ahead then and type their Full name, Username and Password (leave "is subscribed" checked so they get email notifications for the board).  Then click "Create User" again.

After that, the user list should refresh and you should see the new user's name in the list.  Feel free to add "dummy" test users into the Moderators board for practice.  After adding a test user, it would probably be good to delete the user again so it doesn't clog up the system. You can delete users by clicking the red/white X button to the right of their name in the member list.
