Hello there! If you are a newly registered member and you feel like being confused and 'scared' around BHW, then this All-In-One guide I wrote is just for you!
BlackHatWorld Interface and features
Here you will find all the BHW sections grouped as Forums and Sub-Forums (The sub-forum is a section dedicated to specific topic related to the main (parent) forum):
• The Marketplace
• Black Hat SEO
• BlackHatWorld
BHW Info
This is the part of the website where you can find some information about BHW:
• Forum Statistics - Number of discussions, messages, Total members and the latest member.
• Members Online Now - Information for the currently online members.
Forums Sub-Menu
The sub-menu consists of 5 links. Each link will redirect you to a separate section from where you can do some extra forums related searches.
On this page you can find all the information for advertising on BHW (Do not confuse it with the Marketplace). It includes detailed information of how and where to contact the BHW advertising representatives and make more detailed conversation about the advertising opportunities.
This is a shortcut link that will redirect you to the Marketplace forum section.
Here you can find all of the options regarding your BHW account. Take your time and get to know as many settings as possible.
Tip: As you can see from the image, near the bottom, there is an option called: 'Two-Step Verification'. I recommend you to use this feature so you can be sure that your BHW account is 100% secured from someone else hacking into your account and making you regret for not enabling this awesome feature.
Here you can see all of the conversations (Private Messages) you have with the BHW members:
Use the 'Start a New Conversation' button to start a conversation. Remember: You need to have at least 15 posts to be able to send a PM. In addition to that, do not forget about the rules while sending Private Messages!
Here you get all the notification about threads/posts/members you have been interacting with lately.
You can also set up the preferences for the alerts you get, by clicking the 'Alert Preferences' link:
If you are a newly registered member, we recommend you, your first thread to be into the introduction (https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/introductions.24/) section, where you will write few words about yourself, your skills and how happy you are to be part of this lovely BHW community.
When you want to answer or ask a question to a particular user that interacts in a thread, use the 'Reply' button so you can quote his post into yours. This will help him (and the others) to know that the answer/question/statement is for him/her.
The 'Multi Quote' feature should be used whenever you need to quote/reply to several users in a single thread, without spamming the thread with a new post for each member.
To be 100% sure that you understand how this 'Multi Quote' feature works, I highly recommend you to check this video from @BassTrackerBoats where he carefully explains the use of it:
When you want to say 'Thanks' to someone for the shared infomation, instead of replying to his post just so you can say how thankful you are, you can just simply press the 'Thanks' button, as shown on the image:
Thanks for reading this guide. Be sure to have this bookmarked for further assistance through your BHW journey!
Kind Regards!

Threads, posts...
Whenever you open a thread to read, the easiest way to get the information of where that thread belongs (as in which section, forum and sub-forum) is to 'follow' the breadcrumbs that you have right under the menu and the sub-menu:
If you are a newly registered member, we recommend you, your first thread to be into the introduction (https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/introductions.24/) section, where you will write few words about yourself, your skills and how happy you are to be part of this lovely BHW community.
When you want to answer or ask a question to a particular user that interacts in a thread, use the 'Reply' button so you can quote his post into yours. This will help him (and the others) to know that the answer/question/statement is for him/her.
The 'Multi Quote' feature should be used whenever you need to quote/reply to several users in a single thread, without spamming the thread with a new post for each member.
To be 100% sure that you understand how this 'Multi Quote' feature works, I highly recommend you to check this video from @BassTrackerBoats where he carefully explains the use of it:
You have noticed a post/thread or user that is breaking the rules? Press the report button! By doing so, you are contributing to the BHW community and making this forum a better place for us all!
After the report is made, a staff member will review the report and will be the judge for the reported thread or user.
After the report is made, a staff member will review the report and will be the judge for the reported thread or user.
If you want to know more about a specific user, just click his avatar (or his username) and a new window will pop-up containing information about the user, as seen from the image below:
Just so you may know, the online status (the yellow circle) and the 'last seen' status might not be visible for every user you check as these settings can be changed inside the user panel.
For more detailed information about the same user, you can follow the 'Profile Page' link from the pop-up window and you will end up here:
From here, you can check the recent activity, the postings and other detailed information about the user.
