This board is for discussion of technical topics – computers and software, audio-video systems, or anything else related to technology.  Please direct questions about grammar and language to the Grammar Discussion Board and questions about English as a second language to the ESL Board.  If you wish to discuss other topics, please go to the general Message Board.  For topics related to education in general, please use the Education Board.  To discuss literature and literary topics, please visit the Literature Board.

The Tech Board functions just like all other board, but topics should be confined to technological issues.  Registration for any message board enables you to use all of them.

To become a member of the Board, click "Join Message Board" (upper right corner) and fill in the form.  Once I approve your membership, you will be able to post questions and answers here.  (Remember your login name and password.)  Important:  You will see a screen immediately, acknowledging that you have registered, but do not attempt to sign in until you receive a personal welcome from me.  I'm not here around the clock, and the rules require that I meet you at the door, so to speak.  I should normally do so within 24 hours of your request.

NOTE:  Topics on the Tech Board will be deleted from time to time.  This cleaning process is intended to avoid clutter.  It does not mean that the topic is unacceptable but merely that it has appeared to have run its course.

NOTE:  If you wish, you may experiment with drafts and HTML code by using The Workbench before posting publicly.  (Instructions are on that page.)

The numbers that appear below are links to pages in the board.  They appear whenever the number of the threads exceeds the limit that can be accommodated by one page.

Information and House Rules

> This site is hosted by CitySlide, which controls how the board function.  I cannot alter those functions.

> The boxes in which messages are written permit html; therefore, if you know html coding, you can use features such as italics, boldface, or underlining and can create links.

> This board should be used for questions, answers, and discussions concerning technology.  If you wish to discuss other topics, please go to the appropriate board.  (You do not need to register separately each board; your registration allows you to contribute to any of them.)

> Rude, discourteous, or utterly silly posts and "flaming" or "stalking" of other participants are not permitted.  Please treat others (and me) as if they were friends you don't want to lose.  Repeat offenders will have their registration privileges revoked.

> For search purposes, try to put specific key words that identify the subject of the message in the message title.  Google's "bot" will eventually pick up message text, but a good title makes searches more efficient.
