Instructions for the use of our On line Forum are available below:
1. Log into the AHDH Chat Forum using the link above. It will open in a new browser window. You may then move
between the Forum and this instruction page.
2. Use the Register option located at either of the 2 arrows.
3. The Registration Panel Opens. Complete the required fields and enter the "Captcha" words which are a
security requirement to prevent spamming. You may need to press
the "Play" option to reveal the text you must enter. It is the text within
the " " marks which you enter.
Click the "I Agree" Button and then the "Create Account" button
4. An activation message is sent to the email address you listed in the registration information.
Go to that email account and use the "Activate Account" option.
You will receive an "Account Pending Approval" Message.
Your account will be approved ASAP by a Board Staff Member and then you may log onto the Chat Board.
Please be patient. This is the only manner we can prevent our board from being spammed.
5. Once you are Registered you may Read and Post onto the Board as follows:
The list of Topics ready for discussion are listed in a panel which looks like the following
Cilck on any of the links to open a topic to read
6. For example, choosing the "52nd Mission" link opens the following panel
Each area of discussion contains "Threads" which are specific topics, started by Board Members
Opening the "Welcome ... " thread shows the following
This is one Member's contribution to a Thread. It also shows a photo which anyone can attach.
7. At the upper right of each panel are options for your response
You may reply and write your
comments as a continuation
of the thread's ideas
You may quote this member's
comments in your own response
if you wish to be very specific
about what you have to say

You also have the opportunity to attach a photo and format your text with Bold, Underline, Color, etc
Browse will allow you to find
a photo on your computer to
attach to your reply. Photos
must be smaller than 1MB,
but 200 - 300 KB shows very
well, and conserves bandwidth
Type your test here
9. When you have finished typing and formatting your text, look at the bottom of the reply panel
and use the Spell Check if you wish. You can Preeview your post to see how it looks, but images
do not show with the preview. If you use preview, you must re-attach your images, so it's best to
check your test and then attach images.
When you are satisfied, press the "Post Reply" and your response is inserted into the thread
10. If you have an idea for a new Thread, you may start one. Beginning at the Subject level, you will see the
"New Thread" option. For example, in the 52ns Mission Folder, click "52nd Mission
This opens the list of Subjects in the Folder. You may start your own Subject by using the "New Thread" option.
This opens a text panel just like the previous one, but when you post it to the Board, it creates a new Thread.
