General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
This is the first wave. I expect there will be more. I'd like to get half price myself, anything over that goes to a little chess project I am funding, a large orphanage in Capetown, South Africa that is teaching the kids chess. Right now they need inexpensive internet devices, such as Google Chromebooks. Further information on this available on request. You can respond by PM or in this thread, if that is not deemed inappropriate. It's not by me.

How are you selling Kindle books? It is likely a violation of copyright. You don't actually own the books on Kindle so you can't sell them.
Amazon has a step by step process to transfer ownership of the books to another Amazon account, They disappear from one account and show up up in another. so there is no copyright violation

As far as I can tell you can transfer a Kindle to someone else by deactivating it but you can't transfer titles to someone else. In the U.S. and UK but not Canada you can share titles with family members for some titles.
Do you have a link to a page that describes that step by step process?

Are any KINDLE or NOOK chess books inter-active OR only a simple page print?
As far as I can tell you can transfer a Kindle to someone else by deactivating it but you can't transfer titles to someone else. In the U.S. and UK but not Canada you can share titles with family members for some titles.
Do you have a link to a page that describes that step by step process?
No link, just a conversation with customer service who said it was easy to transfer. I'll look into it expect a response in a couple of days
If you want interactive books you should go to forwardchess.com. Kindle books are simply an electronic version of the print book.
Yes, there are no hyperlinks in the Kindle format, I am pretty sure. They are just books, to be read in the cloud through your browser, or also downloaded to portable kindle readers, about the size of a paperback book. In the early days of the kindle reader, there were problems representing chess fonts on some, but I expect these have been ironed out.
On another note, Vlad please make some room in your private inbox, I want to send you something.
