Forum Help : Start a New Thread
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.
- Enter
your details and message, then click either "Preview
Message" or "Submit
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 "Submit
Message".
- You
will then be taken to a confirmation page. Note that your message will not appear immediately - it will need to be reviewed first.
