START HERE – How to Create a “Topic”

[Elizabeth]

New to using a forum?
Don’t worry! It is pretty simple to get started. As long as you are signed into the website, you can create a Topic post.

As an example, maybe you want to start a discussion on how to train a dog to properly pass a bird from their mouth to your hand.
You would want to select the “Obedience” forum (under “DOG TRAINING”) and then complete the boxes below “Create New Topic”.
Make the Topic Title a brief idea of your specific question or piece of advice. Such as, “How do I get my dog to pass me a bird instead of dropping it?”.
You would then use the larger text box to dive into more detail. Maybe talk about what you’ve tried or researched so far.

If you wish, you can also add Topic Tags. Think of them like hashtags. Whichever keywords you use will act as a filter for members to see only posts with that tag when clicking on said tag.

Members will have the ability to comment on your post. If you would like to be notified by email when someone responds to your topic post, then make sure you click the box next to “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” before hitting Submit.

If you have any questions about how to navigate/operate in the forum pages, feel free to comment on this post.

Thanks Elizabeth, is there a way to upload resources or is this for text only?

Jason, these posts are currently text-only, but you are able to include links.
