Maybe I'm doing this wrong...

Having problems using the forums? Have a suggestion for a new forum? Here's the place for both.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong...

Post by Ron Schmit »

Hey folks,

I'm trying to post onto the announcements forum, but the "New Topic" Button is gone. Am I missing something?

I tried to contact a webmaster about it via PM , but heard nothing back. Went to send a message to another webmaster, and now both of those message are sitting in my Outbox. Does that mean they are not sent yet? My Outlook experience would suggest this. Apparently, I'm doing it wrong.

Lil' help?

Ron,

Not sure why there is a problem for you, it is working for me. If you want, email me the announcement and I'll post it for you.

Thanks, Merle:

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am going to be at Onan on Friday morning to see the LCROSS impact. I'll be there from 5:30 - 7:30 AM.

Feel free to stop out!

Ron or Merle,

You may want to get the announcement that Onan will be open for the LCROSS impact on a more general forum. I had to search for LCROSS to find out Ron will be at Onan on Friday. I plan to be there as well.

Thanks,
Dave

Yep, Dave... That's what I'm trying to do.

I've even PM'd the webmasters for help, but have not heard back yet. I'm stuck!

Whoever set up the "permissions' for that area of the forum set it up so that only the MAS Board group and a few select people can create new topics. That can be changed, but I am guessing it was set up that way for a reason.

Maybe we could get a sticky at the top of that forum to explain "How to Post an Announcement".
