Re: Office Writer forum page
Dear Open Office,
I've been using computers since the 1990's and
the internet since 1998. I can find my way around on a website. However,
I want to post to your forum on Office Writer but I do not see, any
where on that page, the word 'Post' or anything that indicates in some
way that I can post a message to the forum. Why is there not a large
word - POST - on that page? So the question is, how does one actually
POST a question?
Thank You,
Christine

The openoffice.apache.org
Forum
is running on
phpBB <http://www.phpbb.com/>
one of many discussion group packages.
You can call discussion software, groups, mail lists, venues, blogs with
comments, Nets etc. Each has different user interfaces.
This rendition of phpBB has a bright red button "new topic"
My world of discussion networking hails back to pre-interenet when we used
PC's with telephone dial-up on FIDONET to share posts.

It probably says something like "new thread"... Nope, it is "newtopic".
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=7
I assume that you already have an account.

The Forums should be accessed using a browser - in my case I use Firefox, but one can even use Internet Explorer (shudder!). I think you are confusing the Forums with Mailing Lists.

Really? I don't have any of those nifty buttons. I'm using OUTLOOK, fed
through Time-Warner's RoadRunner email gadget. To post, I just address an
email to the list (such as users@openoffice.apache.org).

The last post in an existing thread has a "Quick reply" button centred under
the post and a "PostReply" button below the post to the left side. The
"PostReply" botton allows extra facilities. If you need to start a new
topic (i.e., for your problem) open the apropriate subforum and click on the
"Newtopic*" button near the top; this is in red text to be more visible.
