Posting:

Anyone who is registered may post in the Forum, Classifieds and/or Gallery. Registration is free. Email addresses are not sold to any outside parties. On occasion major website updates will be sent by email. If you do not wish to recieve these announcements you may opt out of them in your user account settings.

1. Before you post

This website goes beyond the boards and many questions can be quickly answered within the main website itself (helpful links are below). Also, within the board many questions have already been asked, and a lot have already been answered. To search for existing threads please use the Forum Search facility.

You can navigate through the main site by the main menu or the Site Map, there's also a Site Search available in the left column of the main site to help you find what you're looking for.

2. The post content
There are forum rules. In case you don't know them they are posted here: AMC Forum rules

3. Quotes
Try not to overuse the quote facility. You usually don't need to quote another post in full before adding your response: quoting excerpts is often better. As a general rule of thumb you should write more than you quote.

4. Use the Preview button
Before you submit your post for the world to see, you can click the Preview button to see what it it will look like. This is a chance to check that you have got your BBCode right (particularly useful if you've quoted another post) and that you haven't made any silly mistakes in your post.

5. Try to stay on topic
From time to time, threads wander off into strange areas, and that's not really a problem, but please try to stick to the topic under discussion as far as possible.

6. If you'd like to post a picture in your post to better illustrate a point please see the FAQ on how to do so. Otherwise please post pictures in the AMC Gallery.

7. Classifieds
For Sale, Trade or Wanted ads are to be posted in the AMC Classifieds. The Classifieds has features specifically for ads. This also makes it easier to bring buyers and sellers together.
