Depending on how you use the forum, you might find you're trawling all over the place looking for new posts.

The easiest way to find threads with new posts since your last visit is to use the "View New Posts" option (see below). This reduces the list of threads to only those with new posts.

Once you've finished reading all the threads that interest you (ie: There are other threads with New Posts but you don't want to read them), use the "Mark All Forums Read" option.

This will give you a clean slate and makes the "View New Posts" option even more useful.

When you want to go directly to the most recent post in any thread, simply click on the "Last Post" option in the far right column.

Remember to click on the words "Last Post" and NOT the name of the person who wrote the post.

(Clicking on the persons name allows you to view general information about that person.)

Inserting a photo into your post.

Notes : If you insert multiple photo's into a post you should insert a couple of lines of spaces between them so they go vertically down the screen. Otherwise they will jam together horizontally. You can add comments between the "attachment placeholders".

If you're reading a thread and want to get to the top or the bottom of the page with one button .... use the HOME button to go straight to the top... and the END button to go straight to the bottom.

Ever tried to insert a "Smilie" or "Icon" with your text and gotten this result ==> Welcomeaboard. Hope you enjoy your time here.

Just remember to insert a space between the ":" at the end of the Smilie and the first letter of text. Like this ==> Welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy your time here.
