This forum page is part of the ChoralWiki:Bulletin board.

To Start a new topic, just type

== <title of new topic> ==

at the beginning of a new line, right after the General topics (most recent first) section, and post your message as described below. Thus, a new topic will appear before (above) any other topics, to make for easier browsing. For example, typing

== Looking for works in Quenya ==

will start a new topic, appearing as:

Looking for works in Quenya[edit]

Note: Starting new topics in the Announcements and special topics section should follow the same protocol, but such topics should only be started by CPDL Admins/Sysops.

When adding a message to an existing topic, simply click on the (section) [edit] link at the right of the topic title and post your message below any previously posted message(s) on the topic.

Posting a message: Start a new line, and use the Template:ItemPost as follows:

{{ItemPost|<your name & date>|<your message>}}.

The easiest way to sign and date your message is to type four tildes ( ~~~~ ) for <your name & date>. Thus, for example, typing

{{ItemPost|~~~~|
Here is a sample message
spread over several lines.<br>

It even has more than one paragraph.

results in:
