Posting Questions and Threads

1. To post a new question or thread, first you have to go into the forum that you wish to post the new question or thread into.


2. Once you are in that forum, you need to click on the button found above and below the thread list.


3. Once the new thread page loads, you enter the subject of the question or thread in the "Question / Thread Title" box.

You can also select a post icon that will show next to your post and in the thread listing.


4. Now, you need to add a message to your question or thread! Type your message in the "Question / Thread Message" box.

You can add formatting to your post by using vB code (for more information see the "Posting Rules" box below the message box).


5. Select any post options you like from the "Additional Options" window.


6. Once you are satisfied about all the options, you may select one of the buttons:

• "Submit New Question / Thread": This will post the question or thread to the forum.
• "Preview Post": If you want to see what your post will look like, click this button.

Posting Replies

To post a reply, you can use either quick reply or the reply page.

Quick Reply

To use quick reply, the administrator must have it enabled in the forum. If it is enabled, it will show up at the bottom of each page in the Thread Display. You type your message in the message area, and the click "Post Quick Reply."

If you have selected posts to quote using the Multiquote, you will have the option to quote them or deselect them.

Full Reply

Using the Reply to Thread page is exactly the same as posting a new thread, except you have to go into a thread and instead click on the button found at the top and bottom of each thread. Also, the poll options are removed.

Hi,

the new thread button is located above and below the list of threads in a forum. There is also a link "Post New Question" displayed right next to the top new thread button which works the same way as the button.

You can find this button to the left above and below the list of threads in a forum.

You can find this button to the right just below the message that you want to reply to. It is important to use this button when replying to a reply since some people browse the forum in threaded mode and then it is essential to show which message it is that you are replying to.

You can find this button to the left both above and below the displayed thread. Please do not use this button if you are not replying to the original thread-starting message, but are replying to another reply.
