How to use the menus:

For Macs (and non-touch-screen devices):

The menu titles with the down-arrow to the right of their names have sub-elements. To access the items within these menus move your mouse pointer over the menu heading without clicking. Clicking on the menu titles (or Sub-menu Titles) will give you detailed help about each of these items. Eg: Clicking on the Abyss Members heading or the Abyss Blogs Sub-menu heading will give you help about these items while clicking anywhere else will choose that item.

For iPads, iPhones (and other touch-screen devices):

The menu titles with the down-arrow to the right of their names have sub-elements. To access the items within these menus you will need to tap once on the menu heading. Tapping on the menu headings (or Sub-menu Titles) a second time will give you detailed help about each of these items.
Eg: Tapping once on the Abyss Members menu heading will bring up the menu. Tapping on it a second time will bring up help about this menu – the same with the Abyss Blogs sub-menu heading. Tapping once on any of the other menu items will choose that item.

Accessing the Abyss Members Area:

You can access the Abyss via the Abyss Login item at the top right (click or tap on it once):

Enter the email address you gave to the club next to Username or Email (or Username if you know it). If this is the first time you have logged into the Abyss Member’s Area, the password will be one sent to you via email when you joined. If you do not know your password please click on the Forgot Password? link. If you are having any problems please contact the Apple-Q Registrar using the form at the bottom of this page.

Once you have entered your password, click on the Login button.
