Charon is a reply also a post? or does it have to be a new topic?

Thanks

A reply is a post. One gets no extra credit for beginning a thread or for responding to a thread.

Posts are good. With five a day, u will be at fifty posts in no time.

I appreciate the quick response. After I asked the question, I clicked on "view new posts" and realized that the answer to my question was kinda obvious. If a post was a new topic, then the new topic section would be super freaking huge.

I haven't used message boards very much in my 39 years

again, thank you kindly

We shall help you out.

But i have seen other new people ask about getting more credit when they start a thread. So, i figure some forum does that. In my 24 yrs i was part of private forums, cancer forums, autoimmune forums, and i never saw an admin give credit for starting a thread.

But, there is an idiot out there. Used teeny weeny print or gigantor print. Was upset some of us have vision problems and her choices of print were illegible to some of us. Was upset we have rules to protect us all from law enforcement. And, i do believe this idiot, whilst still charging people to join their forum, is giving an extra point/post or two for the act of beginning a new thread. I believe he/she stated: because threads are the heart of a forum.

I would beg to differ. Care for others. Not charging people to get someone to speak with when they are at their lowest in life, and offering truth and love are the heart and soul of a forum. In my humble opinion.

We are not a clique forum per se. We are chronically ill, the PTSD victims. The disabled, the depressed, the dying.

So, we are not gonna be judging you too hard. you are new. and so my job is to protect you, our forum, our vendors.

But, unless u suddenly change your behavior and come on here all inebriated and attacking others, i don't foresee any problems with you.
