Posting & Reading Messages

How do I post a new message?
When inside a forum, clicking on 'New Topic' will allow you to post a new topic. You will need to fill in a subject title and a message, then click on the 'Post New Topic' button.

Can I reply to a message?
Yes, this is done the same as posting a new one, except that you must be in an existing topic, and you need to click 'Post Reply' instead of 'New Topic'. You can also click 'Quote' to include an existing post as part of your reply.

Is it possible to delete a message?
Yes, click the 'Edit' button on one of your own topics, and then select the '! Delete this message !' check box, and click 'Edit Post'. However, you cannot delete a post if it is the first post in the thread.

How do I edit one of my posts?
You can edit a post by clicking on the 'Edit Post' button above your message. You can only edit your own posts. Depending on the forum, this feature may be disabled.

Can I insert an attachment?
You can insert an attachment with your posts, where allowed by forum settings. The attachment upload form is displayed on the New Post and New Reply pages where allowed. File size limits are displayed on the upload form.

What are smilies?
Smilies are the little faces and icons to the right of the input for message, and can be entered by clicking on them. They display graphical faces as an alternative to emoticons and emoji.
Here is a list of current supported smilies for convenience:

How can I create and vote in polls?
You can create a poll by visiting the forum you want to post the poll in, and click on 'New Poll' (if the option is available). The poll editing page is just like a normal new thread page, but has an extra box for poll answers. You should enter one answer per line.

You can vote on polls in threads by visiting the thread with the poll in it, and selecting the option you want to vote for, and then clicking the submit button. You can only vote on a poll once, so once you vote, you can't change your mind.
