In order to post a message in this forum you have to register. It only takes a moment, and there’s no requirement that you reveal any personal information about yourself. It’s suggested that you register with a throwaway email address, so as to prevent any persons or spambots from harvesting your regular email address for unscrupulous purposes.

Registering will also give you the option of changing background themes to suit your own preference. New themes will be added when I find them.

The basics to posting are: Select the area that you want to post your comment in. (example: Test Board) Then select New Topic. Now add the title of your comment in the Subject field. Afterwards, type or paste your comment in the large screen area.

When completed, click on Additional Options. Make your choices, if any

Now click Preview. If you’re satisfied with how it looks, click Post.

See how easy that was?

As for adding smileys, and using the text format options, it’s best to just experiment after reading the online HELP file. <above>

Please don’t be afraid to post---I’ve left the option open for you to be able to correct or delete anything you’ve posted on this forum. The Edit buttons are self-explanatory. Use them at will. I’ve also added a Test Board so you can practice posting and editing. Use it---that’s what it’s there for…

Now: To comment or reply to another person’s comment: after reading their post, just click the Reply button, and follow the posting procedures above, the only exception being, you won’t have to fill in the Subject field. It will be filled in for you.

I hope this quick reference has been helpful to all that have never posted on a forum before… …Go ahead and post---you can’t break it…
