The
Forum screen is organized into two panels:
Section A: The Left Panel will let you add a contribution
to the forum, update or delete an existing one. A pull down
menu in the upper left corner will let you retrieve a contribution
that was previously entered. You need to complete the form
to submit a new contribution or modify an existing one.
More specifically:
a) To add a new contribution, enter the forum topic,
your text, and optionally a URL link and link-name (you
can also use the Upload function, explained in section d
below) and click on Confirm.
b) To respond to a message, and therefore participate
in a forum discussion on a given topic, select a topic in
the menu on the top right panel, and click on topic. The
topic will be entered as your Forum Subject. You may also
select the message (you want to respond to) from the list
of forum messages listed on the right panel. Complete the
form by entering your text, and optionally a URL link and
link-name (you can also use the Upload function, explained
in section d below) and click on Confirm.
c)To modify or delete an existing contribution, retrieve
it from the menu on the upper left of the screen, make the
necessary changes, and click on Confirm or Delete.
d) To Upload a contribution, click on the Upload
Button, then follow the instructions to upload:
- When you are on the Upload Screen,
click one by one on each Browse button. When, and only when,
all the file names to upload appear in their respective
textarea, click on the Upload File button.
- The next screen
will display: Upload finished. Read the information, then
click on Add Document.
- You will be back to the forum screen:
the forum form will now include the URL of each file you
uploaded. Complete the forum form with any information you
want to add, then click on Confirm.
Section B: The Right Panel includes, from top to
bottom:
e) An Expand/Contract
button to expand or contract the text of the forum messages,
f) Further down, a list of topics to select from.
g) Further
down, the list of forum messages.
