Welcome to Vera Bradley Sales!
Here, you will find information on the forum... How to use it, rules, etc.
Make sure you know and understand these rules.
*Why was this forum created?*
Livejournal was great for organization, but there wasn't enough traffic to the site.
Facebook was great for having a lot of traffic, but no organization whatsoever.
So, I decided to create a place where we had both ; organization, a lot of members, and a ton of other great features that both sites don't offer.
*How do I buy, sell or trade? I don't see a place...*

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I receive notifications?
Please click here for more information on our notification system.
A quick note ; PM notifications will always work, whereas email notifications depends on your email carrier (yahoo, hotmail, etc). Each is different, and accepts or rejects the emails depending on that website's settings.
Should we always directly reply to someone, or will they still get a notification if we just quick reply?
It doesn't matter if you quick reply, or 'direct' reply. None of them actually gives you a notification *unless* you set them up in your bookmarks section.
The difference between quick and 'direct' replying is that in quick reply, if you want to use the fancy codes for colors, etc, you have to know them off the top of your head because there is no menu. It's just a box. If you click 'reply', you will be brought to the page where you can change the colors, make words bold, italicized, and so on.
What is the difference between a Username and a Display name:
Your username is what you use to log into the site. Your display name is what shows when you post. Your username can NOT be changed, whereas your display name can be changed when you edit your profile. To do so, click the 'profile' link at the toolbar on the top.
What is Karma?
You will see 2 links under each user's mini-profile on the left of any thread: exalt and smite.
The Karma feature is simply a point system. Exalt means +1 point, Smite means - 1 pt.
Any Registered member can 'vote' plus or minus one Karma point once per hour.
So basically, if you like a member or their post, you can exalt them. If you don't like something they have done, smite them!
Why is your name a different color?
Username colors show what position a member is in at the boards.
-Administrators are purple.
-Global Moderators are red.
-Moderators are green.
-B/S/T Verified! members are blue.
