Default Re: old dog new tricks

Okay Benj, with my current avatar I figured it was appropriate to answer an old dog's questions.
1. A thread is a Topic within a specific Forum...like the Non Villages Discussion, that is a Forum. A "thread" within that Forum is "Never Ending Story" Basically a thread is a topic within a forum.

2. A Sticky is a thread that stays permanently above the threads of a particular forum. The sticky's are there so that they don't get lost. They are always up top so that people can access them when needed.

3. As a new member you can up to your 1th post, post in the new members area...but you and post wherever you choose. ( However we girls prefer you stay out of the Feminine Forum. Hopefully it is boring for guys there anyway)

4. To list your states or whatever on your user profile, go to "User CP next to your name at the top of this site. Then click on Forum Profile Information on the left of your User page. On the right, next to the word Signature there is a box. Type your states in that box, click change profile at the bottom and then go back out to the Forum and see if you did it right. Keep trying til you do or ask for help again.

Congratulations on venturing out on your own into the world of technology. There are quite a few of us on this forum who are here for you whenever you need help.
