The Forums are discussion areas focused around different subjects where you can ask questions, share your experiences, and discuss topics of common interest via a series of text-based messages. Each forum will have a number of “threads” discussing different topics, and as a member you will be able to join in the discussion by replying to threads, or start your own thread. The forums are a great place to find things out based on other people’s real experiences. For answers to questions on how to use the forums, go to our How To Guide page.
