Posting, User Guide, and stuff

#1 Post by Bill W »

Hi Guys...

Being a newbie is a pain and I suppose it is to everyone involved...

But I had an almost impossible search for the "new post" button... I think I found it just by accident, what is a simple way to find it?

Also I'm wondering if there is a way to add page numbers to the "User Guide" or if the is a numbered version available...

I would be glad to to add page numbers myself to the existing file if there is some way to do that and make it available to all...
Regards,

Bill W :snail:

For a New Topic just click on the Forum you are going to post in. The New Topic button is on the left hand side. For a new post in an existing topic. when in a topic, the Post Reply button as at the top left.
This has been a question that I have received by email many times. It is really quite simple but because of unfamiliarity with the phpBB software I suspect new users do not realize that new posts are started by starting a topic and the organization of the Forum is in sections by subject.

Hi richb

Thanks for your quick reply...

Now I know...the Forum is really nice, but it is not too user friendly...

Like any site of this type, time to become familiar with it is required. Usually a short time. We have been in existence for almost 15 years with this basic format and it has served the community well in my opinion. I do not consider it "not user friendly".

Ok then, it is just not Bill W and others like me, friendly...

Really like MX though...

Of course you know that being around for 15 years is not what makes MX great...or anything else for that matter...

Regards,

I agree with the others, i had the same problem today posting a post which i have still not done. Other OS System forums usually have a create a post box so i would like to put it forward as a bright idea see as you are open to improvement suggestions?. I will follow your instructions and see if it works.

Not only is this an old thread, but you might want to look up at the top of the Forum page: see the little "Create new topic" box?!
