Using the FORUM is easy.

EVERYone is subscribed to the FORUM and receives an email when a New Topic is created and posted.

To start a NEW TOPIC, just LOGIN, go to the FORUM, scroll to the bottom of the page

and “CREATE a new TOPIC”, (TOPIC NAME and below that, the CONTENT) then SUBMIT it.  Easy Peasy.

When a NEW TOPIC is created in the FORUM, all members get an EMAIL notification of the NEW TOPIC.

If you want to respond/subscribe to this NEW Topic, just LOGIN, go to FORUM, find the TOPIC,

click on the TOPIC to read it then scroll to its bottom to create your REPLY, then SUBMIT.

(after this YOU WILL receive emails when ANYONE else replies to this same FORUM TOPIC)

(<<DO NOT HIT “REPLY” on your Email about this NEW Topic. That reply will ONLY go to Webmaster.>>)

OR you can  visit the FORUM and read TOPICS since you DON’T need to LOGIN to READ the FORUM.

Re-Reading the topic is a good way to stay informed if you don’t submit a reply.

You can SEARCH for TOPICS and REPLYs using the SEARCH box (upper right) and enter some key/unique word.

(You must LOGIN to SUBMIT/POST a new TOPIC or to make a REPLY, not to read or search.)

>>>Nuances and fiddly things about REPLYs and CHANGES BY TOPIC AUTHOR.

RE: REPLYs: are only sent to the TOPIC AUTHOR and anyone else who has replied to TOPIC.

Replys are NOT sent to EVERYone (this avoids TOO MANY emails being sent).

RE: CHANGES BY TOPIC AUTHOR that are important for EVERYone to see

should be made BY THE AUTHOR by LOGIN then change YOUR ORIGINAL TOPIC and SUBMIT.

If an AUTHOR wants to, they may LOGIN and REPLY to their OWN TOPIC or change their original post.
