Forum:
A forum is created based on subjects and are normally the result
of site member suggestions. If you think a new forum should be created,
you can email the Forums Manager
with your suggestion.
Topic:
A topic (thread) is created within a forum by members who decide
to start a new topic or ask a new question. Registered site members can then respond to such threads.
Create a new topic:
Within each forum there is a link at the top
of the page labelled Create a New Topic in.... Clicking on this link will allow
one to create a new topic (thread) within a forum.
Message:
Each topic has at least one message. Within a topic there
may be many messages that are replies to either the original message or
other messages within the topic. When viewing messages within a topic,
messages are sorted from the original message to the most recent message.
Subject:
Each message posted within a topic has a subject. You may
decide that your message is deserving of a slightly different subject than
that of the topic. Replies to messages will appear as re: Original Subject
