Creating new topics
To procedure for creating a new topic is almost the same as the procedure for responding to an existing message. Just navigate to the forum where you would like to create your new topic (for example "ILC Detector Roadmap"), then click "New Topic". The procedure for creating your message in the new topic is then as described above under Responding to existing posts.
Subscribing to receive new posts via e-mail
Sometimes it is inconvenient to check each day for new posts in the forum, so an alternative method is to "subscribe" to a forum to receive e-mail each time a new post is added. There are actually two levels of subscription, you can subscribe to a Forum (for example "ILC Detector Roadmap") and you can subscribe to individual topics within a forum. To subscribe to a forum navigate to that forum, and click the link labeled "Subscribe" just above the forum. To subscribe to a topic, select any message in that topic and then click the link labeled "Subscribe to Topic".
Note When you subscribe to a forum you will only receive e-mail announcing new topics within that forum, you will not get e-mails about messages within existing topics unless you subscribe to those topics as well. When you receive an e-mail announcing a new topic you must read the message and subscribe to that topic if you want to be notified about new messages in that topic.
Note When you receive e-mails announcing new messages you cannot currently respond to them by hitting reply in your e-mail client. You must follow the link to view the message at the forum web site, and respond to the message there.
Subscribing using RSS
If you use an RSS reader you can use the following URL to view recent posts:
