How to navigate the message board....forum view (part 2)

Post by Cathy Monaghan »

From any of the discussion forums, as long as you're a registered message board user AND you're logged in, you can post new topics/message threads or reply to old ones.

If you're not sure whether you're logged in or not, just look at the board's set of navigation tools. If you're logged in, you'll see "Logout" followed by your username. If you're not logged in, that row of tools will include "Register" and "Login". You'll need to login.

To post a new message, just click on the "new topic" button.
