    5. Once your message is finished, click Preview to check and then SEND to post your topic.

    *Note: Text formatting works only on texts entered into the message box and nowhere else. You cannot use text formatting on the title of your new topic.


    2. Replying to an ongoing Thread

    Replying to a topic means you are continuing the so-called online conversation or 'thread'. If you want to divert from a particular thread and start your own, then you start a new topic.

    Basically, replying to a topic is similar to starting a new topic. Whereas in starting a new topic you click the New Topic button, in replying to an ongoing topic you click the Reply button. Here's how:

    1. Locate the title of the topic you want to reply to and click on it. At the bottom of the screen you will find the buttons New Topic and Reply.
    2.  Click the TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING I_replybutton and type your reply on the message field.
    3.  Once you finished typing your message, you can either click TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING Captur13button (to check your post) or directly click TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING Captur14button to post message or post.


    3. Quoting a Post

    If you want to repeat the post of another forumer and add a reply to it, you use the QUOTE function. Here's how:

    1.  Click the TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING Quote-1button on the upper right hand corner of the post you wanted to quote. You can quote any post you want. After clicking the QUOTE button, the exact post is pasted on your message field. Type your reply one line below the quoted topic and not within the quoted lines.

    2.  After typing your reply, you may click TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING Captur13button, to check your message or TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING Captur14button to finally make your post.


    4. Editing a Post

    Members can edit only their OWN post and not others' posts. That is reserved only to the Admin and forum moderators. You edit your post if you want to correct or add something to your current post.

    1. To edit your post, click the TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING Edit-1button on the upper right hand corner of your present post (beside quote button).
    2. After editing, click TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING Captur13button to check or TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING Captur14button to post.

    8. Paste the address into your message box and enclose it with the TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING  tags like this (without the bold command, of course):

    https://i.servimg.com/u/f4/12/06/57/36/captur14.jpg" alt=""/>

    9. Review your work before posting by clicking the Preview button next to the Send button.
    10. If your image/photo is displayed in the Preview, you are now ready to finalize the posting by clicking Send.
    11. Whichever way you want it, the important thing is that you have uploaded your photo first and have the uploaded photo's entire url copied for pasting on your message box and enclose it with the TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING  tags.
    12. The procedure above made use of the local image hosting service www.servimg.com for uploading. It is, however, advised to make use of external hosting services (like photobucket, flickr, friendster, myspace, etc.) if you are posting images on a regular basis as the continued use of the local host would consume the forum's alloted space.

    TUTORIAL: STARTING NEW TOPICS, REPLYING, QUOTING AND EDITING Empty POSTING VIDEO CLIPS

    Post by admin Thu Jul 31, 2008 10:42 pm

    HOW TO POST VIDEO CLIPS

    Posting video clips has never been easier. Follow these simple steps:

    1. Search for the video clip you want to post from any of the top video hosting sites (e.g. youTube, eyespot, vimeo, grouper etc.).

    2. To make a wild search, just key in some keywords of what you are looking for.

    3. Once you find it, copy the EMBEDDED CODE (not the link) of the uploaded video and paste it on the message box for posting.

    4. Make sure you copy the whole embedded code and has not left out any codes. To this end, it would be helpful to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-A to select the whole embedded code. Position/click your cursor anywhere in the embedded code and key in Ctrl-A. You can then right click the selected area and select Copy or you can key in Ctrl-C (keyboard shortcut for Copy). You can now paste the copied codes to the message box for posting.

    5. In youTube, the embedded code is found on the right hand section of the video clip.
