Tips for using the forum

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Freedom! self reliance : One Thread

I am writing these tips for people new to this style of forum. Keep in mind these are only suggestions.

1)If you add your name to the e-mail list it makes conversation flow more smoothly here and also lets you know when a new message is posted so that you can respond. As for getting a lot of e-mail, our forum is still small, and there won't be very much at first. You can also have all the e-mail downloaded into it's own folder that you can just empty if you don't want to read it all.

2)Always check the New Answers page. Conversations run longer there than they do on the main page. If you would like to see a favorite thread hang around add another answer and it will go to the top of the New answer page.

3) You can also get a cookie so that you will not have to rewrite your name and e-mail address over and over again.
