How is all this set up?
The bulletin board contains various categories, each category contains the specific forums, the forums in turn the contain message threads (conversations about the topic) which are then made up of individual messages).  Below each message there is a reply box which where a user writes something.  Once you are registered you may also create your own forums within each category as well join in the discussions. 

The “Navigation” works like this…

Registration…
Before you can begin participating in the forums you must first register.  To do this below where it says Penn Camera on the top left side of the screen it says Penn Camera.  A couple of lines below this is says “you are logged in as a guest” (logon | register).

Click on the link “register” and it will take you to another screen asking you for some basic information.  After you complete this form we will automatically E-mail you a temporary password.  Once you receive the E-mail log in with your user name and the temporary password we have assigned to you.  After you have logged in for the first time you can move up to the “control panel” (upper right hand corner of the screen) and create your own password.  On this screen you can if you wish fill out a short profile.  Once that’s done you are free to navigate, create your own messages, and forums within the categories.
