:-k It's often been said that if all else fails... :rtfm2: ...scary stuff... :terrified: ... however you'll be happy to know that we've made it a whole lot easier than that...! :yea:

......................................... This Tutorial will answer any of the queries you may have had. :evil3:

We'll cover POSTING below, but consider for a moment, before you hit the keyboard... :puter: A few basic DO’s and DON’Ts :evil3: when POSTING A REPLY... :type:

[-X DON'T HIT THE 'NEW TOPIC' BUTTON if you're simply replying to a post, or adding a new post to an existing Topic... :thumbright: DO HIT THE 'POST REPLY' BUTTON...
If a Topic already exists on particular subject... [-X DON'T START A NEW TOPIC ON THE SAME SUBJECT.

As the Admin :3some: Team, we spend hours regularly tidying up the Forums, trying wherever possible to MOVE TOPICS TO FORUMS WHERE THEY BELONG, but please keep it in mind...
[-X NOBODY CAN MOVE AN INDIVIDUAL POST...! :roll: (We just have to delete them... not our favourite task...!!!) [-(

As Chippies, Chippy Ned, Seejay and I were brought up on the theory... "Measure Twice, Cut ONCE"... Put simply... Think it through BEFORE you post! Happy Posting...!!! :type:
Image
.............................. In each Topic, Members posts look like the example below, you’ll notice the Control Buttons you’ll soon be familiar with...
Image
.............. You’ll notice that the Post Reply panel is very comprehensive, but we’ll simplify the process by explaining the functions you’ll be using when posting...
This is the FULL Post Reply panel... Image ...your computer screen
won’t let you see it all at the same time, but when you’re posting, you’ll be able to scroll down to see the entire panel and to get to the important control buttons at the bottom...

.......................................... You start your post by clicking in the white panel and entering your text via your keyboard...
Image
.................................... Once you’ve typed in your post you can embellish the way it’s going to look in a number of ways...
Image
Image
............................ When you’ve got the text itself looking how you want it, you can further enhance your post by adding Smilies (Emoticons)...
Image
................................................................ We have a HUGE range of 300 Smilies to choose from... :fright1:
Image
........................ At various stages of preparing your post, you’ll want to see how it’s going to look before you actually submit it to the Forum...
Image
....................................................... This is what you’ll see after hitting the Preview button...
Image
........................................... Once you’re happy with the overall result, you’re ready to share your creation with the world...
Image
.............................................................. And VOILA..! There it is, your completed work of art... :yea1:
