Just a reminder that you can subscribe to any of Forums which will include the postings from within specific Threads.<br />
You will receive an auto-generated notice of a new posting from a Thread.<br />
<br />
I think it works well to stay informed on what gets posted in VIBA forums.<br />
Cheers<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the discussion forum of the Vancouver Island Blacksmiths Association (VIBA). Here's a few tips to help you get started with posting.<br />
<br />
You can make your documents look pretty using mycode (<a href="https://docs.mybb.com/1.6/MyCode/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://docs.mybb.com/1.6/MyCode/</a>), which uses square brackets with a start and end tag. <br />
<br />
Images can be added using the image attachment button, when you're composing a message. You may want to consider resizing the image from your camera first before uploading. There are many free image resizing tools available. Going by a maximum image width, 350px is fine for thumbnails, 600px for something larger. <br />
<br />
Any registered user can post a calendar event. To do so, click on the date that the event starts, and click on the new event button near the bottom of the page. If the event spans multiple days, you can add recurrence to the event so that it also shows up on those days in the calendar. The times are text fields, and time zones can be included if needed. Don't forget to include a location and start and end times for the event, if available.<br />
<br />
There is a "Preview Post" button that can help preview your message before you post it. This can be useful if you're including images or mycode in your message, to make sure your message will look the way you expect it to look.]]></description>
