The Forum is available to all club members.

These notes supplement the Help option in the Forum menu. The Forum "Help" menu describes all the features available in the forum software; however some of these features are not enabled in the NFKCC forum. In particular the sections concerning Registration, Calendar and some parts of Profiles do not apply.

A quick guide to adding images to forum posts

Two options are possible.

1) Images can be added using Tapatalk's built in function. The images are stored on the Tapatalk server and linked to the post. OR

2) Using the web based forum - upload an image as an attachment and then insert it:

Upload them.

Place cursor in the text where you want the picture and insert.

Note that as well being in the body of the post the image will also be thumb nailed below as attachment. This may make inserting the image in to the post body unnecessary..
