A NOTE ABOUT THE HELP SYSTEM:
I'm working my way through the new Help system from the top of the list
to the bottom. As of August 1, 2002, I have some of the Forward Motion
Community Help done. I just started developing the system, but wanted
what was complete to be available to people who needed it. I'm working on
this steadily, and hope to have the entire system completed in a month or
so.
How to Find and Use Everything in the Forward Motion Community
The Help links are organized as follows -- COMMUNITY
SOFTWARE: Lobby; Boards; Threads; Posting; then PARTICIPATING
IN THE COMMUNITY: Site Rules; Guests, Members, Staffers, Moderators
& Hosts; Discussions; Classes & Conferences; Chatting; Critiquing
& Being Critiqued; HollyCons; Reporting Problems; Site Administration.
