List of Available Forums

The Forum Complex is actually a collection of many different forums. When you first enter the Complex, you will see a list of forums that are available. These forums are based on subjects like "General Health Questions and Answers" or "Building Your NSP Business".

To enter a forum, just click on the name of the forum.

List of Available Topics

Once you select a forum, you will see a (sometimes long) list of topics (aka. discussions) you can view. Each of these topics was created by people like you. Some wanted to ask questions. Some wanted to make statements. Either way, you can click on any of these topics and view the messages that people have posted.

Anyone can "start" a topic by clicking the "Post" button at the top of the list.

Post A New Topic

Posting a new topic is like starting a conversation. You make the first statement or ask the first question and then others can respond or join. The "Subject" you enter for this topic is what people see when they first enter this forum.

If you want to start a Topic (aka "Discussion"), click the "Post" button.

Just complete the form on the screen and click the button, and you have started a new topic.

When completing the form, the "Subject" is actually the title of the new topic you are creating. Remember, this is the blurb that everyone sees when browsing the list of "Topics" in any particular forum.

Next, select an icon that will be displayed next to your new topic.

Finally, enter a message. This is where you can ask a question, make a statement, or say whatever you want (within reason).

Now you can check the box to be notified by e-mail whenever someone replies to your new topic. This is useful if you want to know as soon as your question is answered or when your statement is responded to. Please note that this feature may only be available if you first register with the forum. Registration if FREE and without obligation.

Now you can elect to have your signature displayed at the bottom of your message. Your signature is something you can enter if you choose to register. It is displayed at the very bottom of your message and usually contains you name or "handle" and perhaps a saying or slogan. This feature is convenient if you post a lot of messages/topics, because it saves typing.

Now click the "Continue" button and you're done. You've created your own topic for discussion. Don't worry if you make a mistake. You can come back and edit your topic at any time. Also, remember to e-mail your friends and tell them to check out the topic you've created. It's really useful to interact with people this way.

Reply to a Topic

If you want to post a reply to an existing topic, first enter the topic you want to reply to by clicking on it, and then click the "Reply" button. Now, fill out the form that appears and click submit. Your reply will appear just below the last reply (all replies appear in chronological order). Don't worry if you make a mistake. You can always go back and edit your messages.

Additional Information

The messages you post on the forum will remain permanently. All the information you post is searchable using the search system. This allows others to benefit from the information you have shared for many years to come.

The remaining features of the forum are self-explanatory, however, if you have any questions, please e-mail us anytime. We'll answer promptly.

Enjoy the Herbal Bookstore Forum Complex!
