Birthlight Forums

Dear all,

One often misunderstood aspect of the forums is how to reply to a post.  For those of you who receive email notifications when someone posts a message to the discussion board, it is tempting to just hit the reply button on your email program and write a reply.  Unfortunately, when working on a discussion forum this is not the way it works (if you do, your email will only be sent to one person - the forum administrator).  It is necessary to click on the link in the email which will bring you out to the web page of the new post and then click on the reply button that you see there.  Then whatever you then write will be sent out to all the forum members as soon as you click on the "post" button at the bottom.

Here are the steps:
1.  Click on the link in the forum email you received which is at the top of the email (note: do not reply to the email message itself).  The link will take you to a web page on the discussion forum where the post resides.
2.  Click on the "reply" button (thus replying to the original post)
3.  Write your response and then click the "post" button at the bottom of the web page.

That's it!
Jeff
