How to post

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Purple : One Thread

To post a new subject:

1 - Click on "Ask a Question" in top left corner of main page.

2 - Fill out the name, address and subject fields.

3 - [Optional] Set the "category" to where you want your post archived. This is only useful if you want to someday search for specific old posts. I have created 3 additional categories but we can add more if we want them. (Note: Categories will not show up on this board until these first few messages become "old". The option for posts to be automatically marked as old is currently set at 15 days.)

4 - Set "Notify Me of Responses (via email)" to NO.

5 - Write your message and click "Submit" button.

You will then be shown a page stating your message has been sent. Click on the word "Purple" in the top left corner to be returned to the main page. (Note: There is also an option available on this page which allows you to have your name and address automatically filled in each time you post.)

To post a reply to an existing message:

1 - Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Contribute an answer" button.

2 - Fill out the name and address fields and write your message.

3 - Click the "Submit" button. You will then be shown a page stating your message has been sent. Click on the word "Purple" in the top left corner to be returned to the main page. (Note: There is also an option available on this page which allows you to have your name and address automatically filled in each time you post.)
