| How do I navigate the Forums: |
| |
To read a discussion, you must select a Forum from the top level of Forums
available from Road Authority™ Forums. Do this by going to the Forums Home, and clicking on
a discussion of interest (text in blue). From here, you can navigate down the current thread(s) within that discussion.
At some point you will come to a message/reply within the thread. Clicking the item will bring you to a window
that will display its contents. You will see the Article number, poster of that Article and the message body.
At the bottom of the Article, you will be given the option to post a response, navigate back to the list of Artcles within
the selected Forum, or back to the list of Discussion Forums.
