HOME PAGE
1) On the Left Hand Side (LHS), you will see the main 'Categories' & sub 'Boards' (these may be adjusted from time to time). - a 'new' alert box indicates any new posts.
2) On the Right Hand Side (RHS), you will find the most recently updated Thread topic (together with boxes indicating the total number of topics and number of posts).
3) To go to the latest post, either (i) click the LHS 'new' box or (ii) click the most recently updated topic name shown (in blue) on the LHS.
4) The Top Navigation Bar (grey) contains a drop-down menu with Navigation Tree for the whole forum - you can go directly to any sub-Board from here.
POSTING
1) You can Create a new Thread topic or reply to Threads using either the Quick Reply box at the bottom, or the Reply box (with more options) at the top right.
2) Attachments - use the "Add Image to Post" button (on the Reply page, not in the Quick Reply box) as below - this is preferable to using the "Add Attachment" button, as it does not use up Forum storage space. Images, videos of any size can be added to your posts & can be downloaded by visitors & members - if you wish to restrict the downloadable size/resolution of your images, you should downsize them before uploading. See 7 Nov 2017 Update below.
MOBILE DEVICES
1) You can choose to view the forum either in Mobile Version or Desktop - at the bottom of your screen.
2) Alternatively, the Tapatalk app is commonly used for using forums on mobile.
