Starting a new topic: Click on the [edit] link at the right of the General topics (most recent first) section and type
== <title of new topic> ==
at the beginning of a new line, below the comment line that reads "Start NEW TOPICS immediately below this line, ABOVE (BEFORE) any other topics." Then post your initial 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 [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
