INTRODUCTION

There are two types of messages you can post:

New message -- This creates a new discussion topic. Replies to this message make up a thread.
Reply -- Reply to a specific message which has already been posted.

To post a new message, first go to the main Message Index of the group you wish to post to.

Near the top (and bottom) of the page, you'll see a toolbar like the one below. Click "Post New Message".

You will then be taken to a page with a form like the one below.

Post New Message
Your Name:
E-Mail Address:
Subject:
Message: Enter your message here....
If you'd like to include a link to another page with your message, please provide both the URL address and the title of the page:
Optional Link URL:
Optional Link Title:

Enter your details and message, then click either "Preview Message" or "Post Message".
Providing your e-mail address is optional.
When typing your message, it's not necessary to hit your enter key at the end of each line - this formatting is done automatically. Hitting the enter key will create a new paragraph; hitting it twice creates a space before the next paragraph.
To create a hyperlink in the body of your message, type the URL using this form: www.yoursite.com
As long as there is a space before and after the URL, it will be automatically converted to a hyperlink.
If you preview your message, you'll be taken to a temporary page which shows how your message will look. You then have the option to make alterations. When you're happy, click "Post Message".
You will then be taken to a confirmation page. Click "Return to Index", and you should see your message appear at the top of the message list.
