Greetings Newcomers, my name is Jerome O Isaac, and I’m a Newcomer like you.
Tip: open two copies of
IPIU forum, use one to view this Guide and the other practice with.
First time when you enter IPIU front doors and have read the
Mission Statement and after you sign your
Code Of Ethics. you will be taken to the forum, where you can Introduce yourself to other members, letting them know you’re here, so they can stop by and welcome you.
Part of the training here involves reading and writing, these two basic tools when sharpened will take you very far in this Private Investigating business.
For simplicity, I have highlight all the Major things to look for in Red, read them carefully and practice them a few times until you are familiar with the process, ok have some fun and I’ll see you at the end of this guide.
Now when someone with a title under their name like, Admin, Technical Support, Forum Guide, Sr. Moderator, Moderator, etc., asks you to
Post your Question in
your Introduction where it would be better suited , this is what you do.
If you are unsure of how to get to the
Forum Introduction Area. Click here ->

At the top of the page you will see A
Menu Bar Look to the far Right of the
Menu Bar and you will see a welcome with Your Name and time you logged-in, like this ->
