Hello Everyone. The RYL Staff would like to welcome you all to RYL – V3. We hope that you are all settling into our new home.
We have noticed that a lot of you seem to have similar questions about the site and so we would like to point you all in the right direction so that you can find the answers that you are looking for.
The most common questions will be covered here, however, if you still can’t find the answer you require, please take a look at our shiny new guide to RYL http://www.recoveryourlife.com//forum/faq.php
My post count does not seem to be increasing.
Please be aware that posts in the forum titles fun and Distraction no long count toward a users post count. All other forums remain unchanged as far as post counts are concerned.
Where are the picture and Events boards located?
For your Safety, RYL has introduced a new rule, which states that you need to have a post count of 10 before you can view the member only areas of RYL. This is so that we can ensure that only members known by the community can access such areas. It also helps prevent banned member from being able to see things such as meet up dates. Your safety is our main concern at RYL.
I use firefox, however when I changed my mood, it has vanished. How do I fix it?
This is a bug in the system. The team are aware of the issue and are currently working on resolving it. In the meantime, to correct the mood, open RYL using Internet Explorer. This should give you a small box with a red x in it where your mood is. If you click on this, the mood can be changed. Please bear with us on this one, we are working on correcting it.
What are the new rules on events and meet ups?
The rules have changed. We ask that all users once they gain access to the meets bored review these changes. They can be found at http://www.recoveryourlife.com/forum/showthread.php?t=905
What are hugs?
If you look in any thread in one of the Support Forums, you will find a button that says +hugs+ on the bottom-right corner of the first post. By pressing this button, you are giving "hugs", and your name will appear underneath the post [along with any others that have pressed the button] to say that you have "hugged" the thread-starter.
The "hugs" system is there to show you care, even if you don't have any advice to give at that moment, and is designed to try and stop short replies consisting of only "*hugs* xx".
How do I transfer my post count?
Post counts and join date can be transferred. To do this please PM Harley or James with a link to your v2 profile. However please also remember that they both have hundreds to do so the update may take a little bit of time. We all ask that whilst this is in progress that you try to remain patient.

What is the buddy system?
The buddy system allows you to add people to your "buddy list", which makes it easier to see if they are online, and access their profile. You can add someone to your buddy list from their profile, or from the drop-down list that appears when you click on someone's name in a post they've made.
You can access your buddy list from the "Quick Links" drop-down list. If someone online is on your buddy list, they will have a + after their name.
Your Buddies are also the only ones who can view Journal entries you set as 'Private'.

The secrets thread was so popular on v2 that we decided to incorporate it into the main site. It is now called Pandora’s box and secrets submitted are kept anonymous. Pandora’s box can be found under the community listings near the top of the page. Please note that pictures should meet RYL current guidlines.

But it's too late to be real, no time to be strong enough just time to leave it all behind, memory has become pain
You're tender and you're tired
You can't be bothered to decide whether you live or die
or just forget about your life
Drift away and die, never say goodbye Drift away and die
Never say goodbye
Drift away and die
*bump* Because I just saw another thread asking questions..
"In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream --
Lingering in the golden gleam --
Life, what is it but a dream?"
Taken from Alice Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
