I am SO not a computer person. My dh had to sit with me and explain how the most basic stuff of this new forum works. Most of my day has been just reading posts and waiting for him to come home and teach me:)

 

So, Toni, do you mean don't post in the Title box and put NT, or is it ok to post in the title box and still post a message, or.....just post in the message box? I'm totally lost with the new rad stuff, but trying hard to get up to speed and change from 'just visiting'.

On this type of forum, the only time one should be posting in the subject box is when starting a new thread. If you are just replying to a thread, just typing the message box is fine.

 

But what I mean is all the NT posts. There is no need for them especially when this forum allows for us to have full conversation with quoted features and such, if I see "nt" in the subject line on the main part of the forum, I'm not going to bother replying.

 

The whole point of going to this kind of forum, for any message board, is fluidity in conversation. The one-liner subject posts clog up the server more.

 

If you are replying to a post and you start your post in the subject line, I might miss the first part of your post. That's why, when replying, one should just go straight to the message box. I don't even use the full reply function anymore because the quick reply function has all the same features--quote, bold, link, etc. So for me, I don't even put in a subject line because I don't have a place for one, in the quick reply.

Thanks Toni! That was very helpful and clear. I understand it now.....just hope this old brain will remember it :)

 

I'll probably be asking for a LOT of help in the future. I did put in a wish to the Board Fairy for more techno savvy. Hope she can comply.
