Member: What is.... Register ?
To start with you need an Eddie website account. This is completely free and you can apply for one by simply clicking Register. As a registered member you will not only be able to accumulate fan rating and popularity - but you will also be able to post on the forums, rate other topics and posts, and all use all the advanced features of the EDDiE iZZARD site.

Member: What is.... Fan Rating ?
You start with zero fan rating when you first Register and go up from there. (Note: the cake or death options are there for a reason!!) keep in mind that its possible to lose force. You obtain a higher fan rating by using the site. For example downloading a phone logo will gain you 5 points. others are scattered around the site. There is no upper limit on force, so just aim to make it as high as possible.

Member: What is.... Popularity ?
Using our Rate Post system, users can effect other members popularity. Every time a member posts a new message, other registered members can rate the post, the higher they rate - the higher the message authors popularity becomes. This system will give a good indication of who is thought highly of in the blather section and who is not.

Blather: What can I post ?
The Blather section is there for your convenience and amazement. Please refrain from posting offensive or discriminating material. The Blather section will be monitored by PBJ management and Clock Ltd management - Users seen to be harmful to the community spirit will be banned.

Sometimes Eddie Izzard will be posting messages (via SMS or by the site) so look out for those special messages!!

Blather: Who do I contact about abusive and/or legal matters related to this board?
You should use the Contact us page to contact website support. Who will respond as soon as possible. If still get no response you should contact PBJ.

Blather: What is IZZcode ?
IZZcode is a special implementation of HTML. IZZcode itself is similar in style to HTML, tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed.

The available tags are:
[img src="http://www.imageurl.com"] - Will display an image.
[Pink] text [/Pink] - Will display pink text.
[Green] text [/Green] - Will display green text.
[b] text [/b] - Will display bold text.
[i] text [/i] - Will display italic text

Blather: What is.... Rate post ?
It is a neat little rating system, Allowing registered users to rate individual posts. When you post good/helpful / useful/funny messages in the forum, your popularity level will rise. The other members of the community will also be able to see the average rating level, so everyone will be able to see who the most helpful and respected members are. Members will pick up on who has been around a while and who is trustworthy. Its also for fun, we challenge people to get their force levels as high as possible. Everyone benefits from this system. (1 is considered low and 5 is considered high)

Blather: What are.... izzardcons ?
They are emoticons only spelt different ! - They are a shorthand version of expressing moods.
