Forum

Use your group's Forum to discuss issues for your community. Topics are organised into subject threads. You may wish to make comments or ask questions (Add New Message / Start New Thread). You can also Reply, or just read the comments or opinions of others. You can modify your view of the forum entries in many ways to show the most recent posting first, show more/less entries per page [click on DISPLAY], expand all entries [click on EXPAND] etc.

If you have selected an Avatar (small, personalised image or icon) in My Profile, this will be visible with your forum entry. There will also be a link to your HomepageHomepage, if you have one.

Any new messages you add ("post") to the forum will also be sent out by email to those who have selected to receive ticked checkbox Forum postings for that community [see My Communities]. So that all group members have access to your comments, now and in the future, your comments and replies should be made via the mc² website, not by personal email. See Replying to Forum email messages

Forum postings can also be found by keyword searching: just tick the checkbox(es) below the search slot, when in your group forum:

Be considerate of others: respect other peoples's opinions and time. Don't SPAM or be abusive. Observe the Code of Conduct. Stay on topic, or start a New Thread if the topic changes.

For security purposes, you will automatically be logged out after approximately 2 hours of inactivity. Any text you have not yet posted will be lost if your session ends before you click the grey SEND Message button.

If you wish to compose a long Forum message, it may be better to use a Word Processing program, such as Microsoft Word MS Word, to compose your message. You can then take your time composing, and have the added advantage of a Spell Check feature. When your message is ready, just login to mc², go to your groups Forum, then cut & paste it from the Word Processor to the Forum Message box.
