Hey There!
Here is the step by step guideline on how to use the forum. If you just found the site, you will be able to read most of the sections, but not to participate in any discussions. And why miss out on all that fun? So here's a step by step guide on how to do it:
Create your forum account
- Go to the top right corner of the webpage and click register.
- Enter your email address – This is the email where you will be sent a confirmation email to.
- Once you’ve created your account, go to profile. Here you can edit your personal information. It
is essential that you enter your field of study. For example, ‘forensic anthropologist’. You can
also add a profile picture.
- Let us know who you are! There is a subsection called ‘Chit-Chat’ – Talk to Me! Here, we ask
people to give a short introduction to themselves.
Posting
- Once you click on a specific board (where you want to post) in the top right hand corner is
‘create thread’. This is where you can start a new topic.
- Using the icons you can format the text (just like MS word) and add pictures, links etc… You can
also add attachments or create an opinion poll.
- To submit, at the bottom is ‘create thread’ where your post will be sent to the board.
- To reply to someone’s post, you can either, ‘quick reply’ which is typing a response in the box at
the bottom of the page and hitting, ‘post quick reply’ or hit ‘reply’ and you’ll have more
formatting options.
- To remove your post, click the drop down arrow next to Actions, go to moderate, and then
delete.
If you can't figure something out, just ask the moderators! We're here to help
