Using the Forum

Most people who are active on the web will be familiar with forums. They are often used in a question/answer format to help software users, or as a conversation trail for people commenting on a topic.

Access to the forum is via the Debate/Forum link in the IGCP572 Project menu.

There are two forums, and all logged-in users can begin a new topic or contribute to a current discussion. 

To open a new topic of discussion, click on the "Post New Forum Topic" link. You may have to select which forum you want your topic to be opened in, if you are not already reading a particular forum. 

When you are reading something that has been posted to a forum you can contribute to the discussion by clicking on the "Post New Comment" link. 

You will be taken to a standard editor page where you can now create and edit your comment. See Using the Editor for instructions on using the editor.

When you have finished entering your content, use the "Preview" button at the bottom of the page to check your post and see what it will look like. When you are satisfied with what you have written and how it looks use the "Submit" button to post it to the website.
