Forums; Going To A Forum - Sharp Zaurus ZR-5700 Operation Manual

Forums

O
n CompuServe, each forum consists of
two major areas; messages and libraries:
the software provides two tabs to corre-
spond to the two groups.
The message group is divided into sections. The
number of sections vary from forum to forum, and
are pre-set by the forum system operator (Sysop).
Within each section, you can post messages.
When someone posts a forum message and
others respond, these messages are linked
together as one topic for easy tracking and
retrieval; the number of messages in a topic may
grow as more and more people respond. If no one
replies to a message, the topic will consist of only
1 message.
The result is three "levels" consisting of a section
index, a topic index, and the individual message
details. Note there is no "index" of messages.
