Title: How do I post a new topic
Post by: Miss1948 on Thursday 17 November 11 03:22 GMT (UK)

I'm a real beginner - and on the Forum board, I only have buttons that say - reply - notify - send to a friend.  So how do I get started with a new topic?
Please can someone help me?  Tell me what I'm doing wrong please. ???

Miss 1948
On the home page, scroll down until you find a topic under "Board Name" ie Ireland, Scotland or Armed forces etc.
Click on your chosen topic and then select new topic.
Type in your query and send.
Good luck.
Billy

Please bear with this silver surfer, because I'm having a similar problem myself. I want to post a link to the History of Wollaston forum, but in the Useful Links section there are only two buttons 'notify' and 'new poll'. I can't see a button for 'new post'.

Many thanks for any help given.

Welcome to Rootschat  :)
You can't post a reply on USEFUL LINK topics- they are only for reference.
"It is not possible to add replies on this board, so if you have a link which you wish to share with us, then create a new topic on this board, describing the site and why you think it is worth sharing."
