You go to the topic you want to post under and you click new post to star your own this is what you do most of the time when posting unless someone has a previous post under the topic you were gonna post in then if you want to carry on with the other persons post or answer his or her question or you just want to say something then you would click reply any other time you click new post this is how what ever you want to say get read because usually when you reply people dont want to read another conversation that you are having with somone else basically you only reply when you want to say something to people who are having a conversation but you click a new post if you want to start your own like if someone introduces themselves and you want to welcome them then you would click reply within that persons post but if you are the one introducing yourself then you would hit new post its that simple so please do this the way ive explained so what your saying is seen also read all stickies they are important please do not reply to stickies AT ALL! Stickies are just posts that an admin posts so people read only no replying you also have a friends list please pay attention to this you go into profile to send and receive freind requests you will also see foes these are people you do not like (enemies) hopefully we have none of these here but shit happens you can also add avatars thats basically your picture theres also signitures these are pics with your name on it that you see at the end of my posts you can also build your profile kind of like myspace so please forums are very easy to use read the stickies and you should have no problems thank you also make sure you welcome the new members in introductions and make them feel welcome
sincerly,
