At this
point, you are now eligible to comment on people’s posts and will take you some
few days and little participation to be eligible to start creating your own
thread on the forum.
When you are
ripe in the few coming days to start
creating threads, follow the simple steps below to learn how to do that;
= =>From
any of Nairaland three major and generic groups
or categories and with each of their
sub-categories, you can scan or
select the sub-category that will best fit the content of the thread that you
want to create. For example, if you want to create anything pertaining to
football, you should be able to know that the best sub-category for it is the sport sub-category which can be found
under the Entertainment major
category. At this point, for you to start creating your thread on this sport
sub-category, it is for you to click on it.

that sport sub-category.
= =>Now,
by the side of the numbered pages of the sport page, you will see the Create New Topic link. Click on it to
take you to editor window page where you will input the topic of your post in
the subject line, and then the body
of your post in the message editor
window.
It is
important to note that you should read to observe the posting rules that are
always presented to you at the top of the editor’s window before going ahead
with composing your post.
= =>After
you are done with writing your posts and filling the topic on the subject line,
you can then hit the submit tab to publish them and your post will be taken to
the top of the sport page, indicating that it was newly created.
At this
point, other members can view and comment on the post while guests can only view
them. That is all with posting of new thread.
Then finally
for posting comments on existing
posts, follow the steps below;
= =>When
you visit any section of Nairalad, be it the front page or any major category
or sub-category and you find any topic interesting and want to comment on the
post, what you should do is to scroll down close to the bottom of the page and
you will see the Reply link.

posts. So you can just click on the Quote link to do so where you will also be
taken to editor’s window page with the quoted comments by the commenter that
you want to post under. After the closing quote in square bracket in the edit
window, type your own comment and click publish and that is all.
