Hi everyone,

Welcome to the forums!  Without further ado, some quick basics:

To add a forums post:

1. Click the Start new topic button.
2. Enter the title of your forums post.  Add a brief description of your topic in the Description field if you want (this will be displayed below your title).
3. Write your post in the text field provided.  Click the Follow topic slider to ensure that you are notified of any replies.
4. When you're finished, click the Submit Topic button.

To reply to a forums post:

There are three ways to reply to a forums post:

Quick Reply: simply click inside the Reply to this topic... field (or click the Reply to this topic button) and type your reply.

Quote Reply: at the bottom of the original forums post, click Quote.  The body of the original forums post will appear quoted in your reply below, and you can now write your response.

Multiquote Reply: in the original forums post, click and swipe a word or phrase you want to discuss; a small Quote selection pop-up button appears.  Click the button to excerpt your selected text in your response.  That's it!  Repeat as often as you want.  This is a particularly good way of addressing several different points or issues in a discussion.
