                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

            8. When you select the Reply option, a panel opens for you to write your response.
                 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.
