I am a registered user but need help so little I forget how to use it.
I login, then open the forum I want and THERE IS NO OPTION FOR ENTERING
A NEW QUERY AND NO WAY TO OPEN A FORUM. This is ridiculous!! When I
login, open a forum, and find no suitable answer I should immediately be
able to enter that forum and post a message. Today is the first time
since November 16th and only the fourth time I've needed help since
January. There is simply no simple or obvious way to open a forum to
post. Why not? Every other system which has fora has an obvious way to
post like after login a line that says POST A NEW MESSAGE HERE. I've
obviously manged before but certainly should not have to go through this
kind of frustration and hassle due to my forgetfulness. I'll copy and
paste the answer into OpenOffice so I'll remember how to solve the
problem should it ever occur again. I must since this is the same
problem I've had before.
I have been unable to script my question in such a way as to retrieve
fewer than 1000 records from the files. That number is patently
unreadable. Especially as there is no relevance ranking.
My issue is: one of my documents has started to display with each page
in a column. Page 1 has page 2 displayed beneath it with page 3 beside
page 1 and page 4 below page 3. This appeared yesterday and effects
only the one document.
Try scripting a search with that problem. If I could find a way to open
the forum I could easily ask that question and get an answer.
Fortunately, OpenOffice is generally quite easy to use and the answer to
a problems is easy to find so that it is my choice.

Rory has already advised you about the correct way to post in the forum,
but please stop ranting at the people you are requesting help from. We
are all volunteers giving of our own free time to help other users.

It sounds like you are referring to the Writer word processing module
and have inadvertently changed the "Page View Layout". Look towards the
bottom right hand corner of the Writer window and you will find 3 page
icons to the left of the zoom slider. Try clicking each of them in turn
and see if one of them resolves your issue. In which case save the
document again and next time you open it the page view will be as you
want it.

Open one of the Forum areas; below the dark blue surrounded listing of sub-areas and (possibly) tutorials under the Forum banner you should see see a button on left labelled "New Topic". Press that and you should be able to start your new query.
Please post your query in your new topic, and someone with appropriate expertise will answer when online.
