threaded messages
a thread is a series of messages on a related topic. It consists of an initial message and its replies, any and all of which may themselves have replies. Threads are indented in the index to indicate which messages are follow ups to which other ones. All messages which are replies to the same message are indented to the same level

to post a followup to a message, tap the post a follow up button

https and http
both https://digitalconsciousness.net/generalforum/ and http://digitalconsciousness.net/generalforum/ work. The difference is that https is encrypted

urls into active links
urls within the text of your message are automatically made into active links

do not enter something like <a href="http://nanday.com/">go here!</a> -- instead, enter http://nanday.com/ and the program will take care of turning it into a link. Enter the full url including http:// or https:// -- if you just enter something like nanday.com/ it is not converted into a link

most html is excluded
messages may not contain html in general. For example, if you type <font color="red">, that exact text will appear in the message, rather than the desired effect

exceptions to excluded html
a bit of formatting html is allowed: <b> </b> <i> </i> <u> </u>
<b>bold</b> bold
<i>italics</i> italics
<u>underline</u> underline

image sizes and types
only upload images with small or medium filesizes. The smaller the filesize, the quicker and more assuredly the file will upload. The maximum filesize depends on the quality of the connection. Ipad screen shots upload on wifi. Jpg, png and gif files are accepted

editorial policy
all messages are subject to editing. Any messages which are off-topic or offensive or abusive or commercial (unless relevant) are subject to deletion. If you see such a message, please do not post a follow up to it. Instead, contact us

search beyond the general forum
search databases, directories and files maintained by collaborating nodes. They contain generative art tokens, archives of gifted artists, award nominations and bulletin boards. Also, biographies and comments about artists and current events. Use encrypted https search or unencrypted http search, with informative ads
