Re: Public / Private Forums - The Easy Way - Please Read

[Guest guest]

Just a note...one great thing about the forums is that you can follow on the

topics that interest you, and you can be notified of a reply to a post you made,

responded to, or a post that simply interests you. That way if we want to have a

debate about something, like we had here recently, you only have to look at it

if it interests you. If you're looking to get or give support, only check the

" support " section. The forum is really user-friendly, and like says,

using the public section will help us gain internet publicity and probably make

it easier for people to find us. You don't have to use your real name when you

register, if you are apprehensive about using the public section.
