To post or reply on the BREAZE Forum, you must be registered and logged in. If you are not logged in, you can still read the topics and posts. The Forum link is found in the Resources Menu. The first page you will see is the "latest posts" - the most up to date information. Click on Categories to see all the BREAZE categories. Click on the Topic heading, or Child board, to go to that topic. Now you can see the green "New Thread" button, which is how you Post. Or if you are looking at a thread, you can hit "Reply" or "Quick Reply" - the difference being that in "Reply" you can add images, documents, URL links and other details to your words. Definitions Post - A post is a user submitted message which contains the user's details and the date and time it was submitted. Members are allowed to edit or delete their own posts. Posts are contained in threads, where they appear as boxes one after another. The first post starts the thread. Posts that follow in the thread are meant to continue discussion about that post, or respond to other replies. Thread - A thread is a collection of posts, usually displayed – by default – from oldest to latest, although the option for a threaded view (a tree-like view applying logical reply structure before chronological order) is also available. A thread is contained in a forum, and is displayed in chronological order from newest to oldest, where the date is taken as the date of the last post. When a member posts in a thread, the post will jump to the top since it is the latest updated thread. For more definitions of internet forum terms, look at this wikipedia entry. Video on how to use a forum like this: Our registration process is diffent to the one described in this video. For BREAZE, the Membership volunteer checks out each registration, and then approves your log in, so it does not happen in seconds like in this video - Hit "play" on the video, and then when it has loaded, move ahead to about 2:28, which shows what to do to post once you are registered and logged in.
