Message Board Forums
A Message Board Forum is a broad topic – e.g., “Caregivers Forum”, under which there can be many discussions. Each discussion
page begins with the original posting, and displays all subsequent replies in date order, with the latest reply last.
Posting a message on a discussion page:
Click on the “Reply to this discussion” link (located at both the top and bottom of all discussion pages)
A small window will pop up, with an input box for your message. Above the box are options for formatting the message (e.g., bold, italics). Below the box you will see these three options:
Notifications. Turn on if you wish to receive an e-mail notice when someone replies to this discussion. Signature. Check box to attach the signature you specified in your profile. Disable Graemlins. Graemlins are the smiley faces that can be attached to messages.
To reply to a particular message in a discussion, click the "Reply with Quote" link in that message's display box.
Creating a new discussion:
Click on the forum you think best matches your discussion topic. Click on the “Start a new discussion” link (located at the top left corner).
