3. How to post

[david farley]

1. You can only post or create new topics if you are registered and logged in.

2. To reply to an existing topic, click on reply. The message window will now open and you can insert text and format it as you would in any wordprocessor. You can also add hyperlinks including image/video urls. This is all done using the icons above the message window. (NB For images on your own computer you do not use the image icon. Uploading images from your computer is described in the 'managing images' topic).

3. To start an new topic, simply click on 'New Topic' in the main forum window and proceed as above.

4. Once you are happy with your message, you can click on the preview button to see how it will look or click on submit to post without previewing.

5. You can still change your message after posting by clicking on the 'pencil' icon on the right side of the message screen. You can also delete you message using the 'X' icon next to the 'pencil' but you cannot delete a post once someone has replied to it.
