It seems that the word is getting around and more and more people are finding our site.
This can only have a positive outcome as we will be helping more an more of our brothers and sisters.
Introductions
An important part to this forum is a little understanding of who we are talking to. Mainly because we get veterans from all different conflicts ranging from Vietnam to the present day operations.
So when new members join, it can help as there may be someone from there era on there.
If you happen to come across a post from a spouse, or a non-veteran, give them the benefit of the doubt as they might be nearly blind, and guide them to the sister site which is listed down at the bottom of the page. If they still persist, find their post and select the report function. This will go to Anthony and he will ban them.
Now down to the guts of this post...............
Creating
When creating threads, think carefully about which area to place it under, i.e. anger, relationships, etc, etc, and also remember if you want something kept from 'Google', put it in the 'Members Only' section, however, all anyone has to do is sign up to read it.
Editing
Once you have created a thread or placed a post to a thread there is a small window of time where you have the opportunity to edit it. I am not exactly sure how long that is. After this period, the post is permanent.
Quoting/Replying
We as veterans have minds and thoughts that go all over the place at times and this reflects when it comes to posts. For example, you can have a post started in April 2010 which may contain about four different subjects, then a few comments, then nothing for a month. Then there may be a few more comments. Someone new joins the forum and adds to the thread and it looks ridiculous, even though what the new member is saying is correct. So this is how you do it.
