How to post?.

[livvies mum]

Hi
Please could someone let me know how I post?
Thanks

Hi Livvies mum and welcome to the forum. You have already made your first post but to clarify, if you want to reply to a topic click on the "Post Reply" icon, a box will open up, type in your message and click on the "Submit Reply" icon. If you want to start a new thread, find the relevant section (ie "Bars and Restaurants"), click on the "New Thread" icon type your message and then click on the "Submit New Thread" icon, if you are not sure where to put a new thread just do it in the "Miscellaneous" section and i will move it to the correct area. I hope this helps and happy posting .

Dave, i and another member have also had this problem but only on one particular thread so please send me a PM explaining what you are trying to post and in what section of the forum, i will then pass the info on to Pollensa (Zelda) and hopefully she will be able to solve the issue, there is obviously a gremlin at work here .

I think you may be trying to post on the thread about a 'gambling arcade'. For some reason I couldn't post using the more usual name beginning with 'C' Try posting without using that specific word!

 

[DAVE573]

Thanks for the advice debz, you were spot on about omitting the word 'c....o'
Managed to post on the thread but found it odd not using the word c....o!

Again thanks for the help , it was driving me up the wall !

Dave

 

[Sparky]

Yes that's the one i had problems with, it seems that some of us are banned from using the "C" word .

 

[debz1]

It drove me mad trying to post as well when I started thread the other day. Sparky can verify! in fact I was so mad I may have used the 'C' word

 

[sws97sdg]

What Christmas Debs, oh no I've said it now!

 

[sws97sdg]

Might be worth checking the spam filter, some words are suspect and may be thought as spam!

 

[Sparky]

Yes we were both baffled, it was odd because some members were able to post the word, i wondered if it was something to do with the fact that we were both here in PP and maybe it was a server issue .

I think we were both cursing that day .

 

[Tangoman]

You see!!!!!!

I told you it would not work in PP!!!! Ha! Ha!

 

[Sparky]

I have now talked to Pollensa (Zelda) about this issue and she is as baffled as we all are but she will investigate further.

Hi.This just shows how poor I am on computers, on a post above it says...to start a new thread, find the relevant section (ie "Bars and Restaurants"), click on the "New Thread" icon type your message and then click on the "Submit New Thread" icon, if you are not sure where to put a new thread just do it in the "Miscellaneous"
I am going to use Miscellaneous,....But were is the relevant section to find Miscellaneous
Many thanks

Go to the main forum page, that's the one that comes up when you log in, the "Miscellaneous" section is the fifth section on the list.

Don't worry about posting in the wrong section, i will move it if necessary .

@pine.man
I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon enough.

Best to log in the forum first of all.

Then it's easiest to start on the Forum homepage -
http://www.forum.puertopollensa.com/


If you're viewing the site on a PC or in the full site view

You will see all the (sub-)forums listed under the headers of 'General', 'Before you go', 'Once you're there', etc.

Under 'General' you see the (sub-)forum 'Miscellaneous'.
Click the word 'Miscellaneous' and the (sub-)forum opens.
The button 'New Thread' is displayed on the top left, above the existing threads
(and also on the bottom left, below the existing threads)


If you're viewing the site on a tablet or a phone, you'll be in the "mobile view" where it is slightly different to start a new thread.

Once you have selected the (sub-)forum 'Miscellaneous', you'll see "Threads: (New?)" on the top left , above the existing threads.

Click on the (New?) and you enter the details of your new thread.

...

Hope that helps.


PS and as Sparky says, she'll be watching over you and move it if required
