[Ron Ramirez]

Just in case this isn't obvious, here's a quick tutorial on how you can make posts to the Phorum.

1. Find the section of the Phorum where you want to place your post.

Go to the Phorum home page at http://www.philcoradio.com/phorum/ where you will see the Phorum home page:



For the purposes of this lesson, we are going to pick Philco Home Radios. So click where it says Philco Home Radios in bold blue letters.

2. Do you want to start a new thread?

On the first page of the Phorum section where you want to start a new thread, click the button labeled New Thread (the button which the red arrow is pointing to).



You will then be presented with a page that looks like the following:



Type your post in the empty white box. You can use smilies as seen to the left of the white box if you wish by simply clicking on one (or more).

When you are finished, click the "Post Thread" button (red arrow is pointing to it - it says "Post Reply" here but when you do this, it will say Post Thread.

Voila, your new thread is started!

3. Do you want to reply to a current thread?

Let's say you are looking at the thread Philco Alignment Adapter? in Philco Home Radios.

Click the button labeled New Reply (see, the red arrow is pointing to this button).



A new page will open up, with an empty white box in which you may type your reply.



When finished, click the Post Reply button (the red arrow is pointing to the correct button).

Your reply is posted!

4. A quicker way to reply to a thread:

Use the Quick Reply box:



Type your reply in this white box under the bar labeled Quick Reply.

When finished, click the Post Reply button under this box to post your reply.

Hopefully this will be of some help to you as you post and reply to posts in the Phorum.
