The message board is broken up into catagories, such as general interest, sports, etc... It is pretty much self-explanatory once you get into it.
Before you will be able to access the message board, you must create a log-in name with the company that hosts the board, Delphi. It is free and painless, so go ahead and jump in...
I have noticed some problems accessing the board from the computers in the lab. In order to log-in from there or to even create a log-in name if it's your first time there, you might have to click on "member log" in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Sometimes it works that way, other times it doesn't. If you can't get in email me, and I'll try to help you out.
