Newcastle Hang Gliding Club

There are a number of ways you can create content on this site. The one you will be most familiar with is forum topic. There should be a button on the left labeled "Create content". After pressing this button look for the button labeled "Forum Topic". You should then see a form that you can fill in with the details Title, Tag, Content, Parent.

A Tag is just a keyword. You can put whatever you like, separated by commas, but be consistent as these keywords will be used to gather content from all over the site.

Parent is the Forum you want to post to. Forums are held with in containers like Flying, Club, Trade, Other.

Comments: When you are reading a forum topic you can make a comment. A comment relates to the original post. Now this is where it can get confusing. You can Reply to a Comment and that reply relates to the Comment and not necessarily the original post. The system lists these comments and replies, with appropriate indentation below the topic. In the old system you used to reply to a post. Now you comment on a post and reply to the comment. Clear as mud? OK then.

You can comment on most of the content created on this site. In fact you can comment on this entry using the "Add a comment" button below.

By the way, if you are not seeing these buttons that I am talking about it could be because you are not logged in.

If you need more information then please ask by making a comment to this entry and I will reply. This way everyone benefits from the answer.

There are other forms of content you can create but I will create another page for that.
