Help for beginners
Posted May 20th, 2006 by Steven NortonSome quick help for beginners, which we’ll expand as we go along.
The discussions are organized into forums, like “Service Learning” (which can also be inside an umbrella ‘container’ such as “PTO programs”), and each forum has one or more topics for discussion. PTO volunteers who serve as moderators and administrators are the only people who can create forums or forum topics.
Regular users (with a name and password) can create new discussion topics, post comments to each topic, and reply to one another’s comments. These are rather like a tree — you can add a comment to the main discussion, or you can start a branch by replying to someone else’s comment specifically (and you can reply to that reply, and so on).
