Getting the Most from the Forums

More than just Text Messages!

The lasqueti.ca forums are a flexible and powerful tool for communicating with your community.   Here are some features that will help you get the most out of this tool.

Using the Rich Text Editor:

• The message body can be edited in plain text, or with formatting.
• The editor you see will depend on your user "role". (You may be able to select your default editor on your user profile page)
• The kinds of formatting you are allowed to do will also depend on your role.  If you use some fancy formating, images, or links (like this posting does), select an Input Format to match.

Attaching Files and Images:

• If you have permission (i.e., you are a "trusted user"), you will be able to upload images and files to a personal file folder on the website.
• You can include images right in your post by simply using the "insert image" button to Browse for an image on your computer, and Upload it to the website.
• You can also attach any type of document to your message - use the "File Attachments" option just below the message body.  Again, Browse for the file on your computer, then Attach

Subscriptions:

• You can "subscribe" to just about any content on the lasqueti.ca website.  When you subscribe to discussion, you will receive an e-mail whenever there is a new posting on that topic.  This allows you to stay in touch with what's going on in the forums, without having to actually come here! 
• It's easy to subscribe - just tick the "Subcibe" box in the Subscriptions area (below the message body)
• You can manage all of your subscriptions from your user profile page.
