Use semi colon when you think the sentence is complete; still you dont want to put full stop just yet :D

...usually used to separate complex/coplicated sentence

let me give an example so it'll be easier to understand how these words work 8)

"Whenever I log in to the forums and see new topics, I usually end up doing one of following things: I read whole topic and post my opinion; or I just read title of the topic and ignore it completely."

haha this must have complicated the things.
;) let me know if you want further explanation.

colon and semicolon sometimes used in 'event n reasoning' sentences.
e.g.
"Sometimes I really dont recollect to whom I replied to on forums; forums population has increased tremendously."

note that you can also use colon on above example.
