Everything You Need To Know To Get Started On The AnswerBank All At Once!
Welcome to The Answerbank AB Editor
It's good to have you on board. We hope you'll enjoy The AnswerBank, not only for finding answers, but for giving them as well.
We thought it would be best to send out a handy reference guide for all new AnswerBank members.
You can log in to The AnswerBank with your username or email address in combination with your password here.
You can also log in using your Facebook account for easy and seamless access. Don't worry, we don't take any information from your account or post to your wall - it's just another way for you to log in with one click.
We cover a lot in this guide and there's a great deal to digest here, so don't worry about using the list above to jump to the parts of the guide which interest you the most. You can always put this somewhere safe and refer back to it later.
Keeping Track Of Your Questions
So, you've asked your first question but you don't want to hang about for the answer?
The best way to keep track of your answer is by clicking the "subscribe" button on your own question.
The subscribe tickbox can be ticked before you submit your question.
Or you can subscribe to any question by clicking the "subscribe" button found in the bottom right-hand corner of every question.
A subscribed question will send an email to your inbox whenever it is answered, meaning you can check back at your leisure.
If you want to check back on questions you've been involved in then visit the My Profile section of the site here.
Using the tabs in the centre you can see questions you've asked, answered, subscribed to and even those you've recently viewed!

Quizzes & Puzzles Advice
Are you like the thousands of others who signed up for for Quiz and Crossword clues, hints, tips and answers? You're in good company if so!
Here's some top tips for getting the best out of our Quizzes & Puzzles section:
When asking for help with a crossword clue or a quiz, please do a search through AnswerBank first to see if the clue has already been answered, especially if the crossword is more than a day old.
If the question has not been previously posted: Please state the name, number, date and type of crossword or puzzle in the title of your post, e.g. Sunday Times Cryptic 4461 27 Nov 2011
Remember: Not everyone will have a copy of the quiz or crossword in front of them, so please write the clue EXACTLY as it appears, the number of letters required and which (if any) you already know e.g.
13d Excellent on-line resource for answering questions (10) A?SWE?B?NK
If you want to post a follow-up such as a thank you for any assistance you have received, please do so in the same thread - do not start a separate thread for this.
The Crosswords Title Builder
In the Crosswords topic we have a "Title Builder" tool for putting together accurate titles to ensure everyone knows what crossword you're posting about.
Select the paper or magazine
Select the crossword name (and enter a number if this applies)
Add the date of the crossword
Click "Build Title" and your pre-made title should appear in the title section of your question. You can edit this if you want.

Asking The Right Question
To get the best possible answers, you need to ask the right questions!
Each AnswerBank question is made of two main elements, a title and a description.
Title: This gives flavour to the question, presents the main theme and asks the broad "question". This is what hooks others into being interested in your question, and what would be spotted in the latest posts pod (which you will see at the top right of every page of The AnswerBank). Make sure everyone can simply identify the main thrust or theme of your question from the questio
