The About Quilting Community has grown by leaps and bounds recently, and I've received lots of Emails from newcomers who aren't sure how to participate in our Forums. So I thought it was a good time to develop a gallery that walks you through some of the images you'll see when you enter one of our message boards. Take a look at the images and explanations, and then drop in to experiment. Start by clicking on some of the links to get a feel for the way things work. Post an introductory message and discover how you can manipulate the text. Create your own special signature to display at the bottom of your messages. It's not difficult at all and I think you'll have lots of fun participating in the discussions.

Our General Forum is a very active place, but keep in mind it's just one part of the Quilting Web site. About has designed the forums so that you can easily flip back and forth between discussions and the quilting patterns and other resources on the site.
