Tips for Using the WebBoard Conferencing Software
When you enter the WebBoard, you will see
conference headings in the left-hand frame. Click on the 
next to the conference you are interested in (or
the name of the conference itself) to see headers for any comments or questions that have
already been submitted. You can read any existing comments or questions by double
clicking on them. If a is also present next to a particular message, this means there
are additional comments pertaining to it, and these can also be read by double clicking on
them.
Posting a new topic.
With the cursor anywhere within a conference, you can click on
the "post" button on the toolbar at the top of the WebBoard screen. In the
right-hand frame, you will then be able to identify yourself and write your comment or
question. Finally, click the "post" button within the message screen
itself, to save what you wrote to the conference. Your message will appear as a
topic beneath the conference heading.
You may also post a new topic by clicking on any existing messages within the conference and then clicking the highlighted "post" link at the top of the message in the right-hand frame. Again, after composing your message you will have to click the "post" button within the message screen itself to save what you wrote to the conference.
Posting a reply to an
existing topic.
You may submit your comment or question as a follow-up,
rather than as a new topic, by clicking on the message of interest and then clicking the
highlighted "reply" link at the top of the message in the right hand
frame. Again, after composing your message you will have to click the
"post" button within the message screen itself to save what you wrote to the
conference. Your reply will appear beneath the original submission that began the
topic.
