    I thought this would be helpful to everyone new to the site....

    AS ALWAYS, REGISTER SO YOU CAN LOGIN AND POST AND REPLY ON THE SITE. YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN TO BE ABLE TO POST (so if your not seeing the "POST NEW THREAD" button it's because your probably not logged in). Remember, the "POST NEW THREAD" button only appears within a forum you choose and go into. It's not on the home page. After Logging[FONT=arial, sans-serif] [/FONT]in go to a section header in the forum you wish to start a new thread, example: Sun City General Discussions. Click on this forum topic. Once on this header, the tab with “Post New Thread” will appear, and the system will guide you on how to start a new thread of your own.

    Of course if you ever need help on the site go to "FAQ" at the top for all questions and how to navigate around the site. Here is the direct link for "FAQ":

    HELPFUL HINT:
    On each page on a forum site like TOSC, there can be multiple pages under a forum hundreds of posts. There is around a max of 20 POSTS or THREADS in the forums which is why there are multiple pages. You can know if there are multiple pages by looking on the right side just above the forum your in and you can click on page 1 or page 2, etc etc... (if there are multiple pages). One example is in the CLUBS OF SUN CITY ORIGINAL forum which has 90 club listings (90 posts) and it's on around 4 pages.


    This video is great way to show you how to post and reply to threads on the site. The same format that this video site uses is the exact same way as www.TalkOfSunCity.com.. Enjoy!!

    We know it can be a little confusing when first starting out posting on TOSC.
    STEP 1) Introduce yourself in the "Sun City New Members" section
    STEP 2) Responding to a thread here is a link to learn easy: http://talkofsuncity.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_usage#faq_vb3_forums_threads_posts
    STEP 3) When starting a thread look at the categories under Lifestyles or whatever and ask yourself "Does my topic fit one of these categories? If so, good, start a post in there. If not, feel free to start a new thread....."

    We want you to enjoy the site and if you have any remaining questions. You can send an email to TalkOfSunCity@gmail.com
