I'm confused to say the least; I thought this was like a web forum,. It is, but it is not like the ones I'm used to!

Could some one explain to me this, if any one even reads it! IT said to post a Diary for every thing except guppies, I hope I am posting this in the righ area.

cheers

Hi nepenthes and yes we do read stuff. I dont' know about in the US of A but here right now it's school hols so no one much about. Unclescott is out hero here who can tell us just about everything we might want to know but he broke his pc. I'm on dialup and it's really slow again (prob all the kids home from school).

Anyway, yes you have posted this in the right place. This is not the common php BB but a scoop forum. If you Post a log entry it has to wait for votes from the rest of us before it will appear on the Front page. Therefore those sort of entries should be kept for interesting things that are of some importance whether it be information being provided to us or asking a question that has not been asked a thousand times before.

"Diary" section is really not an apt name. It should be called "Ramblings" because that's about what the majority of it seems to contain these days. In this section though, you can post whatever you like but we prefer to not see profanity b/c of the number of kids that visit here.

Regardless of where you post an entry if you reply to something old it won't get "bumped" up to the top of the page so it's often best to start a whole new entry and maybe refer back with a link to the one you might be talking about.

This is not a huge forum but you will find just as much info here as anywhere and generally you won't get flamed in the process.

Cheerio

Oh gawd, now you're making me think :)
When you start a new diary or log entry you give it a title and then an intro which is usually just a few lines that will appear on the main diary page or the Front page along with the title. It is intended to provide a brief description. The 2nd box, extended copy, is for the bulk of what you have to say and won't be seen until a reader clicks on the link to the full story.

I guess it keeps the front page etc. a little tidier.
