Forum structure
The forum is structured in several parts:
- The home page of the forums which shows all the Forums. These are divided into Car Related, Rootes Related Events, General Interest and TEAE Club
- Each FORUM is divided into TOPICS
Topics are threads started by a member on a specific topic (DUH!) - You can start a new topic ( a question, something you want to sell, etc) by scrolling to the bottom of the TOPICS page in the appropriate FORUM
- Fill in the block Create New Topic in “something”
- Then fill in the title and the body of the post.
