This page is part of the ChoralWiki:Bulletin board.
Starting a new topic: Click on the [edit] link at the right of the General topics (most recent first) section and type
== <title of new topic> ==
at the beginning of a new line, below the comment line that reads "Start NEW TOPICS immediately below this line, ABOVE (BEFORE) any other topics." Then post your initial message as described below. Thus, a new topic will appear before (above) any other topics, to make for easier browsing. For example, typing
== Looking for works in Quenya ==
will start a new topic, appearing as:
Looking for works in Quenya | [edit] |
Starting new topics in the Announcements and special topics section should follow the same protocol, but such topics should only be started by CPDL Admins/Sysops.
When adding a message to an existing topic, simply click on the [edit] link at the right of the topic title and post your message below any previously posted message(s) on the topic as follows:
Posting a message (note NEW syntax): Start a new line, and use the Template:ItemPost in the format:
{{ItemPost
|by=<your name & date>
|text=<your message>
}}
The easiest way to sign and date your message is to type four tildes (~~~~) for <your name & date>. Thus, for example, typing
{{ItemPost
|by=~~~~
|text=
Here is a sample message
spread
over
several lines.<br>
It even has more than one paragraph.
}}
resulted in:

Here is a sample message
spread
over
several lines. It even has more than one paragraph. |
N.B. The old syntax for Template:ItemPost still works but is now deprecated in favor of the new syntax.
