Using the forum for the first time can be confusing.  Getting yourself set up in here to post is very simple.

First: Profiles
Click on the Profile Tab above this window to link your facebook profile to the forum.
No extra logins or signing up, this forum will automatically link your profile to the forum so you may publish and share your posts with others on facebook, or on a website.  Once you have clicked on Profile, the next time you click your profile it should have your post count and forum rating along with your fb photo.

Secondly: Posting
Please remember that this is a forum, and we are discussing natal charts, so keep topics in good taste and be respectful to others.  Trolls, lurkers, spammers and other mean forum types will be removed after fair warning.

Thirdly: Coding
Most of the coding you will need is in the small icons above.  This is based on a phpbb forum so square brackets [ ] instead of < >  will be fine.  Just click the icon and paste in your text or image link.

Furthermore...: Images
It is best to have an image hosting site where you can get direct urls for posting  www.photobucket.com or  www.picassa.com will be fine.  You can probably paste from facebook, but it is not advised in case facebok changes your URL on you and then the link is permanently broken.  Keep links staticly hosted to prevent broken links.  

Lastly: Have fun
Enjoy reading and posting!
This forum is meant to help keep all of the facebook wall posts, articles, websites and news reports by astrologers under one giant roof without claiming authorship.  This will allow for a place for your posts to have a permanent voice so that topics are not lost in the wall.  Stories have lives too, and need to be told in order to stay alive.  

Happy posting!

Meredith, thanks for setting this up!

No problem, it's got a lot to work on still, but this Mercury retrograde is a good time to flesh out the kinks, maybe I should delete some of the topics?  I'm not expecting a lot of posts right now, but I would like to encourage the small astrology groups to try this out when they have questions so that it can potentially reach a much larger audience.

Hello everybody. Ann just sent me the link to here. I didn't know FB had the technology to run forums, cool deal.
