Creating a New Message

When you create a new message, a new thread based on that message is started in the discussion forum interface. Replies to your message are added to the thread.

 

1. In the side navigation bar, click My Forums or All Forums.

 

2. Select a forum.

 

3. Click Create New Message. Depending on the forum's settings, you may be prompted to log in.

 

4. Enter your email address (if prompted), and then type a subject in the Subject box and the body of your message in the Message Body box.

 

5. Click Attach File if you'd like to send an attachment with your message. Note that you can attach any type of file, i.e. text, csv, exe, pdf, scripts, etc., but ListManager will warn you if the file is over 1 MB because many email programs do not allow attachments larger than this. Although you will be warned, the message will still be sent even if it exceeds 1 MB.

 

6. Click OK to send the message, or Cancel to abort it.

 

Depending on the forum's settings, your message may be sent immediately or may need to be approved. Approved messages will appear on the forum's Messages page.

 

Replying to a Message

 

A reply to a message will be threaded beneath the message replied to.

2. Click the Reply button for the message you would like to reply to. Depending on the forum's settings, you may be prompted to log in.

 

3. Enter your email address (if prompted), and then type subject and message body of the message.

 

4. Click Attach File if you'd like to send an attachment with your message. Note that you can attach any type of file, i.e. text, csv, exe, pdf, scripts, etc., but ListManager will warn you if the file is over 1 MB because many email programs do not allow attachments larger than this. Although you will be warned, the message will still be sent even if it exceeds 1 MB.
