Posting a Message or Responding to a Query
Instructions:
The first page of the message board contains a
series of subjects called "forums".
These forums can be password protected or they can
be "open"
Each forum can contain an unlimited number of
posted messages.
Each posted message can have an unlimited number of
"replies".
To post a comment or question, click on the title
of the appropriate forum where you want your message stored. The title
is "rust" colored.
This will take you to a listing of all messages or
topics that have been entered under that particular forum subject matter.
At this point, you can either enter a new message
by clicking on "new topic" in the center of the page both at the top and
bottom of the screen OR you may reply to a previously posted message by
clicking on its title which is also "rust" colored. If you choose to
reply to a previously posted message, the word "reply" will be in the center
of the page similar to "new topic" above.
Whether you choose to enter a new message or reply
to one, you will be taken to the message form which is similar to any word
processing screen.
Enter the text as you want it to appear on the
message board. You can hi-lite the text and bold, italicize, or
underline. You can also add web site links and e-mail addresses.
For those knowledgeable, you can upload images and other types of files.
When finished, you can run the spell checker at the bottom and then preview
the message before it is posted. Finally, click on "Post Message".
