If you are a new forum member the forum board "can look busy'' and we do have a lot of available information so this task can be a bit daunting and perplexing, but fear not as things will get easier and will be less confusing with time, effort and practice.

If you want to ask a question or post new information to the forum, look over to the right side of the page and click on the menu options under the "Categories" heading and closest to the subject matter you are looking for. You can also use the search option in the upper right hand corner of the board (a one word search yields the most results) and enter your search information there too as that will bring up a lot of information. Practice does make things easier and you can ask questions/create new postings as follows:

To create a new discussion or to ask a question:

Click on the "New Discussion" tab (upper right side, above discussion areas)
Select "Category" - Menu will drop down showing all discussion areas
Select the appropriate discussion area from this menu
Type in your question or topic in the "Discussion Title" area
Click inside the text box below the discussion title area and begin typing your question or subject desired.
When you are finished, click on "Post Discussion" to post your question or information to the forum area.
You can also search the "Help" area of the forum as there is valuable information there on how to perform tasks in the forum (e.g. adding photos to posts, creating links, resize photos, posting problems, etc.).... The "Help" area is really intended for forum/computer related problems, but the bottom line here is that if you ask any question we will try to help you out in any way possible. If a posting is posted to the wrong area we will do our best to place postings in the proper discussion areas. Moderators do their best to keep things on an even keel, help out as needed and keep the forum areas up and running.

Private Messages & The Member Bulletin Board

Be careful when clicking on a members profile and sending them messages as there is a distinct difference between a private message sent and message posted on the member's open bulletin board that can be seen by everyone and this information (bulletin board) can also be seen by clicking on the "Activity" button at the top of the page and seen by anyone using the forum. Private messages are private if you click on the "message" menu button in a member's profile, so use this information accordingly.
