First off let's define the terms "Post", "Thread" and "Forum".
- Post is the individual question or reply from a member.
- Thread is the collection of posts that make up a particular discussion.
- Forum is the collection of Threads that are related. Forum is also used to describe the entire Forum. To be more accurate the overall Forum is a collection of sub-forums (like "Off Topic Lounge", "Classified Ads", etc.)
To start a new Thread:
- Go to the board that you want to start the new message in. (for example "GT/CS and HCS Forums" or "Classified Ads")
- In the upper right click on the "Post Thread" button and a screen comes up where you compose your message. Fill in the blanks and then click the "Post Thread" button at the bottom.
To reply to an existing Thread:
- Go to the thread you want to reply to.
- Scroll all the way to the bottom, and below the last post will be a "write your reply..." window. Compose your message there and click the "Post Reply" button at the bottom.
