• Sections with new posts - If you are logged in, the icon next to a section with new posts will be a folder with a BLUE dot, the dot on sections that have no new posts since you last logged in will be GRAY
  
  
  
• Topics with new posts - If you are logged in, topics with new posts since your last visit will have a "NEW" next to them.
  
  
  
• Topics displayed in descending order of activity - topics with new posts will always be at the top of the list
  
  
  
• Private messaging - you can send a member a private message right through the board - use this if you need to exchange phone numbers or other sensitive informaton. Highlight the member's name, and choose "send a private message" out of their profile, or click the icon (folder with paper standing in it) that displays "PM" when you hover over it with your mouse in the pane to the left of a message they have posted.
  
  
  
• Private message notification - if you have a private message from another board member, your greeting message at the top of the board will say "Hey {your login name}, you have 1 messages, 1 are new". You can click on the "1 messages", and you will be taken to your PM mailbox.
  
  
  
• Notification of replies - if you post an urgent message, and want to know when someone has replied, you can click a check into the box below your message that says "Check this if you want to be notified of replies to this topic" and an email will be sent to the email address you put in your profile when someone replies.
  
  
  
• Preview before posting - You can click the "preview" button at the bottom of a message window to see what your post will look like, and make any changes if need be.
  
  
  
• Edit posts after posting - if you forget to preview, or see something later than needs to be corrected in your post, click on "Modify" to edit your post. Your message will display correctly, and will also contain a note that you edited it. NOTE you can only edit your own posts. Moderators can edit any posts

To post a picture, I would first recommend resizing the picture (I usually resize to 648 x 486) and upload it to Photobucket. Under the picture you'll have a selection:

• Email and IM
  
• direct link
  
• HTML Tag
  
• IMG Code
  

If you click on the IMG code it will automatically copy.
Then get back to your Post and click paste.

It will start with then the full http:// address and end in
