Quick topic mini tutorial
- 3. Once you have a membership the top of your screen will look something like this:
- 6. How do I invite people to my discussion? Click the Invite Readers link accessible from the Tools button near the top of your topic page, and you can easily send an invitation to a group of friends by email, using the QuickTopic form or by emailing it yourself. You can invite others later on, and they can catch up by viewing all the previous messages on the message board. That's one of the big advantages over email-based group discussions (along with the fact that everyone's inbox doesn't get flooded). How do I choose who can participate in my discussion? Anyone that knows about it can participate, and anyone that doesn't know about it is very unlikely to run across it Right after you create a topic, you'll see an Invite link (see above) as a reminder. Can I delete people's messages if they're inappropriate? Yes, click the Tools button near the top of your topic page, click Delete Specific Messages, and go from there
- 7. Can I create several boards? How do I manage them? You can create as many boards as you like. You get a personal My Topics page that provides an index of QuickTopic boards you've created or visited. You can also create a Shared Topics page, much like your My Topics page, but with its own web address (URL). Link that to your web site and you'll have a public multi-topic index page. To create a Shared Topics page, click the link at the bottom of your My Topics page that says "Create a Shared Topics list" and go from there. How long will my message board remain if I don't use it? Virtually "forever", unless you delete it (see below). So we appreciate it if you delete boards you're not using. If our disk space runs short, we'll get more. I'm finished with my message board. Can I delete it? Yes, if you created it. Click the Tools button near the top of your topic page, click Delete Entire Topic, and go from there. Nobody else can delete your topic, because only you, the topic creator, can see or use this feature on your topic. Thanks for tidying up!
