Here's a crash course on how to use this site. First things first:
Your Privacy
Please note that the "default" privacy setting is that others can see your profile and email address. Until we can find a way to change that default, please consider changing those settings.
Click "Profile" menu β "Edit Profile" button β "Privacy" tab.
Who can view your posts? At this time, this forum is set up like EP: non-registered users can view posts, but cannot start threads, post comments, or send PMs. If it is of interest to forum members, we can create a "members only" forum where non-registered users can't even see the thread topics or contents. (PM Admin if you think we should do this.)
Site Navigation
The site collectively is a FORUM at freeforums.net.
The site is organized in to a few major CATEGORIES.
A category has one or more BOARDS.
A board has one or more THREADS, identified by their SUBJECT.
A thread has one or more POSTS.
In most cases, start a new discussion by going to the appropriate BOARD, then clicking the "New Thread" button.
To comment on or reply to an existing discussion, click the "Reply" button while reading a thread.
More details can be found in the help link in the menu bar.
Formatting of Posts
For a plain-text reply, simply enter your comment in the box labeled "Quick Reply", the click "Post Quick Reply".
To switch to the rich text editing mode (where you can use formatting features, upload pictures, etc), click the "Reply" button. The editor will change over. NOTE your post is NOT POSTED until you click "Create Post" on that screen.
Advanced users can directly edit their posts in a markup language called BBEdit.
More details can be found in the help link in the menu bar.
