Cuando un usuario se registra e inicia sesión dentro de un foro, probablemente quiera escribir algunos mensajes. Publicar es un proceso bastante sencillo. Eso puede depender de los permisos que tenga cada foro en específico, el grupo de usuario en que esté el usuario, o la cantidad de mensajes que tenga.

Crear nuevo tema

Navega hasta el foro en donde deseas publicar y selecciona el botón Crear nuevo tema (localizado por defecto en ambos, la parte superior e inferior del foro), el cual debería llevarte a la pantalla de Crear nuevo tema. Aunque se presentan varias opciones, las dos más importantes son el campo Asunto y el campo principal de Mensaje (no etiquetado como tal, pero se identifica por su tamaño). Así que, introduce tu asunto y comienza a escribir (o pegar) tu mensaje en el área de texto principal. Si estás satisfecho con tu mensaje en texto plano, puedes publicarlo seleccionando el botón Publicar y/o previsualizarlo primero seleccionando el botón Previsualizar. Algunos foros pueden estar configurados para ofrecer un botón adicional Verificar ortografía junto con las opciones Publicar y Previsualizar.

Responder a un tema o encuesta

Responder a un tema o encuesta es muy parecido a Crear un nuevo tema, pero no es necesario introducir nada en el campo de 'Asunto' a menos que desees cambiar lo que ya está ahí. Para votar en una encuesta, simplemente tienes que seleccionar tu opción elegida y seleccionar Enviar voto. También puedes realizar otras cosas con el mensaje como adjuntar un archivo al mismo.

Si la 'Respuesta rápida' ha sido habilitada, un simple campo Responder también aparecerá después de los mensajes en una página, pero tendrás que escribir tu Bulletin Board Code y smileys manualmente si eliges usarla.

Opciones estándar de publicación

  • Icono del mensaje - Este menú desplegable permite a los usuarios cambiar el icono por defecto para el tema, esto para que alguien conozca el estado de ánimo o propósito de sus mensajes.
  • Bulletin Board code - Bulletin Board Code (o BBC) es la herramienta esencial para dar formato y cambiar la apariencia de las publicaciones. Mientras que esta afecta al texto plano de la misma forma que las herramientas de formato en un procesador de texto, el campo principal de mensajes no se comporta como WYSIWYG, así que los usuarios deberían previsualizar sus mensajes si es que ellos necesitan ver como lucirá cuando esté publicado.

Opciones adicionales

The following options may appear by default in some forums but be contained within an expanding/collapsing panel in others.

  • Notify me of replies - Users should check this to subscribe to e-mail notification if there are replies to the topic.
  • Return to this topic - Users should check this to return to the topic (instead of the message index) after posting.
  • Don't use smileys - Users should check this to prevent certain character combinations in their posts from being parsed and rendered as smileys.

The following options are only available to Administrators and members with special permissions:

  • Lock this topic - This prevents members who don't have moderation privileges from replying to the topic.
  • Sticky this topic - This forces the topic to always be displayed at the top of the message index.
  • Move this topic - This moves the topic to a different board.
  • Attachments - If enabled, this feature allows users to attach files to their posts in the same way as most e-mail clients. Users simply have to browse to the relevant files on their computer before selecting Post. Multiple attachments, up to the limit set by the administrator, can be added to a single post by selecting the Additional Attachments link. Users can delete their attachments or add more, by modifying their posts. The permitted file types and sizes are set by the forum administrator. Some forums may display image attachments in line with the post or show them as thumbnails below the post.

Starting a new poll

A poll is basically a topic with an added question and voting options, started by selecting New Poll instead of New Topic as described above. To post a poll, it is necessary to fill out the Question field and at least two of the Options fields, in addition to the Subject and Message fields required by a standard topic. Further options to configure how many choices the user may vote for, how long the poll should run, should be self-explanatory.

To offer more than five choices in a poll, users should simply select Add Option as many times as desired.

Depending on set permissions for certain membergroups, some users may be able to add a poll to an existing topic.

Poll Options

When adding or modifying polls, users have a lot of options available to suit their needs.

  • Maximum votes per user - Under the Options field, the users will notice the Poll Option field, with the Maximum votes per user line. If the user would like voters to be able to vote more than once in a poll, they need to add the desired number of maximum votes per user.
  • Run the poll for X days - If the user would like the poll to end or expire in a certain amount of days, they need to enter an integer in the Run the poll for X days field. If they leave this field blank, there will be no limit to how long the poll will run.
  • Allow users to change vote - If the user would like to give the voters the option to change their votes, check the Allow users to change vote checkbox. If this option is left unchecked, voters will not be allowed to change their votes.
  • Show the polls results to anyone - A user should select this option if they want anyone (members/guests) to be able to view the poll results.
  • Only show the results after someone has voted - Users should select this option to show the poll's results only after a member has voted. Only registered members may vote in polls.
  • Only show the results after the poll has expired - Users should select this option if they want to show the poll's results, only after the poll has expired. For this option to be available, they must have changed the Run the poll for X days field to a number above zero.
  • Reset Vote Count - Users should check this if they want to reset all vote counts to zero.
  • Save and Preview - Just like when a user wishes to post, they have the option of previewing their poll's changes before saving them.

Posting an Event to the Calendar

If the calendar is enabled on a forum and users are given the permission to post calendar events, users will be able to Post an Event to the calendar, by selecting Calendar from the main menu, followed by Post Event from the calendar screen. If the option is enabled, users may also be able to simply select the day of the month to post a new event on that day. In addition to this, if a user has the proper permissions, they may see a Link to Calendar link at the bottom of each topic. Selecting this link allows users to post a new Event in the calendar, linked to the topic they were viewing when they selected the Link to Calendar link.

Quoting a Post

To reply to a post by quoting it, you can either select the Quote button for the relevant post or select the Reply button followed by Insert Quote from the relevant post in the Topic Summary below, but note that:

  • Both of these options add a link to the original post showing the name of the poster and the date and time of the post, whereas the Bulletin Board Code quote tag simply quotes the relevant post without this additional information.
  • You can retain or add the 'author' attribute independently of the full quote function.

Modifying or Deleting a Post

To modify a post, select the Modify link or "paper and pencil" icon and make your changes. Most forums are likely to be configured to show the date and time of the last edit, but the administrator(s) may also allow a short period of time to elapse before this happens.

To delete a post, select the Remove button followed by OK from the Remove this message? box that will appear. Some forums may also allow you to remove topics or polls that you start, but the buttons for these are usually at the bottom of the page.

It is up to your forum's administrator to set the permissions that determine who will be allowed to Modify and Delete posts, and for how long after making the original post.

Viewing Unread Posts and Replies

SMF has several options for users to view unread posts. Unread posts are topics and replies that have not been viewed by the user. The most common way to view unread posts is through the links in the userbox near the top of the forum.

  • View unread since last visit – Selecting this option displays a list of the topics which have had new posts in them since the user's last visit. The user has the ability to select to try all unread topics which will display any topic with unread posts, regardless of their last visit.
  • View unread replies to your posts – Selecting this option displays a list of topics the user has participated in that have unread replies.

Users may also choose to view unread posts outside of the userbox.

  • View Unread Posts by board - Selecting this option will display a list of topics with unread posts found inside the selected board.
  • Recent posts on the board index - If enabled by the administrator, this will display a list of recent posts on the bottom of the board index. This is displayed by post, not by topic, so hot topics may dominate this section. Selecting the icon to the left of the recent posts will enable each post to be read from another screen.
  • View Unread Posts by category - Selecting this option will display a list of unread posts from the boards inside the selected category.
