How do I add or organize new pages?

Only members can add pages or use the forum and you must be logged in.
This site works best when people like you, who have some genuine knowledge to share,
put it out there for everyone else — and it couldn't be easier to do. To create a new page,
simply click on the 'Addpage' link below the navigation pane on the left. The page will be
added as a sub page of whatever page you are currently on. You can always move a page
later.



The "Add A Page" dialog will appear.



Instructions

First, confirm the location where your new page will appear. Your new page will automatically
become a sub page of the page that you were viewing when you clicked on the "Add a new page" link.

If you want your page to appear somewhere else on the site, click on the "Change Location" button
and the "Select a Location" dialog will appear.



Here you can view all the pages currently on the site. To make your new page a sub page of an
existing page, click on that page and then click on the "Select Location" button.

Once you've chosen a location for your new page (or decided to leave it in the automatically
chosen location), type in a name for your page. Keep it short, as this will appear in the site's navigation.



You may choose to assign keyword tags so your page will be easier for other site visitors.
Enter as many relevant tags as you like, separating each one with a comma as shown below.

Adding links within a thread

Keepin mind that external links will remain plain text when posted in a thread. Internal links (URLs pointing to pages within the site) will automatically be activated when you post or reply to a thread. This feature helps discourage spammers from posting links to outside sites.
