Creating a New Message

A new message will be a new message thread in the discussion forum interface. All replies to your message will be grouped under your initial message as a message thread.

 

1. Select a forum from My Forums or All forums.

 

2. Click on the Messages tab. Depending on the forum's settings, you may be prompted to log in.

 

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), the Subject and Message Body of the message you'd like to be sent to the forum.

 

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 tab.
