Here are some basics on how to use the forums. Each tag now has its own forum, clicking on the forum button on that tag’s page will take you to its forum. Below is an example of a main page, from here you can see what’s being discussed, who started the discussion, how many replies there are and how long ago the last reply was made.
Clicking on ‘Subject’ will sort topics alphabetically. Likewise clicking ‘Author’ will sort by the original poster (sorted alphabetically). ‘Replies’ will sort by the most populous subjects, and ‘Last Post’ will sort by the most recent responses. Clicking on an author’s name will take you to their profile; this also works when you have entered a discussion.
To enter a discussion simply click on the name of the subject (e.g. ‘FOB & Kidz Bop’) and you will see the original message and all the replies.
Here you can add your own reply by either clicking on the ‘REPLY’ button, or using the box at the bottom of the page, where you can simply write your reply and then click ‘POST REPLY’ button. If you want to quote someone, simply click [Quote], located in the bottom right of their post. The forum will do the rest.
Also on this page you can see the ten most recent topics in the forum, and there is a new topic button so you can add your own from here.
At the top of every forum page you will see a menu bar giving you several more options. ‘Upload’ lets you add a photo or video to the forums, along with a title and a description or comment. ‘Post to forum’ lets you start your own topic, and on the main page there is a box at the bottom of the page where you can also do this. ‘Add as favorite’ will add the forum as a favorite place on you own profile.
