Here's the down and dirty on how to use The MCA Wall

Layout:
The pane on the left is always there. It contains; filtering and search options, documentation, and registration links.

The pane on the right, contains the topics (on the main page) and the suptopics and their respective messages, (on the subpages).

The topics are laid out like the folders on your harddrive. There may be subtopics within a topic, along with msgs.  Click on the subtopics to read them, or scroll down to read the msgs in the topic that you are in.

Click on Tree View in the left hand pane for a visual representation of how it is laid out.

Reading :
To read The Wall, just click on the topic name, in the right hand pane.

• The first page is a list of the main topics.
• Once you've entered a topic, then any available subtopics are listed at the top, with the messages below that.
• The path to the folder you are in, is always at the top of the right hand pane. To go up, click on the highlighted words that are the title of one folder above where you are. To go all the way up, click on the MCA Wall highlighted link.

Posting:
To post to the Wall, you must register. Click on Register/Login, under Utilities, in the left hand pane. Click on Instant Registration, to create your account. That's it!

• It is recommended that you login again after creating your account, and edit your profile.
• It is suggested that you check the box at the bottom of your profile that says "Remember my username and password in a cookie". That way, you will never have to login again. This is safe. It's just a cookie.

Tips:
To read what's new today, just click on the "New - Today" link in the left hand pane. This is how you can quickly catch up on what's new on The Wall.

If there is no "Add a Message" box at the bottom of a page, then it is a closed topic. Look for a current area to post your message in.

If a link is blue, you HAVE NOT read it. If the link is white, you have.
