Best posts?

Hey! I registered for the first time this week.

Apologies for being lazy, but I was wondering if someone could point me to any posts that I should read first, so I can get involved here?

Thanks! Mike

mike, you did fine, jump in and start your own or go to the view unanswered posts or even View posts since last visit.
these links are above the menu on the entrance page to the right.
It is confusing at first but you'll get the hang of it, but I must warn you it is addictive. Welcome and post-a-lot!

Welcome, Mike.
You're on the right track...just speak up!
Bailey's given the best advice IMO. Just jump in.

Go through a couple of threads in each of the forums to get a feel for what goes on in each. The most free-wheeling is probably Res Diversae, a catch-all for any topic not covered in the other forums, whether it involves language or not. I usually start there looking for new messages and work my way up to the top of the forum.

You can browse the topics to see what's been posted in the past. Post in one of the old topics if you want, post in one of the new ones, or start a new one. Just as in voting, you should post early and post often.

Don't forget to preview your replies before submitting; you'll catch some errors there.

In the compose/post a reply window there is a link to more Emoticons and Accented Characters; test it out to see how to use them. You can always delete your own post if you're just testing. unless, of course, someone has already replied to it.

Some people can get their noses out of joint, but in general, it's a good lot here. Welcome!
