How to Post a Thread or a Reply Post

[Elonna]

Everyone,

I thought I would put a quick explanation of how to post a thread or reply post on here so that if any of you are confused, it will help you get the hang of the forum quicker.

To Post a Thread: In order to make a new Thread, you just click into the category you want it to appear in, such as Open Discussion or Tell Us Your Story, etc. Once you are there, all you have to do is look at top right side or the bottom right side of the page. There you will see a blue tab that states "New Thread". Click this and you are then able to give your Thread a subject line and type the body of your tread. When you are done, if you look towards the bottom of the page you will see options that state "Post Thread" and "Preview Thread". If you want to see it exactly how it will appear on the forum, press the preview thread. If you are happy with it, then just post it. It will then appear under whatever category you have put it under.

To post a Reply Post: To do a post under a thread already in existence, all you have to do is click into the existing thread, and you will see in the same position you found "New Thread" a new button which states "New Reply". Just click this and it will bring up the area for you to type in your response to the exiting thread. The subject line will already be filled in as you are reply into an existing thread.

Hope this helps!
