how to use the message board!!

As I have learnt to use the message board today, and have had a couple of queries, thought I would let you know- most of you know how to use it, but it did take me some careful thought, but now I am posting all these really easily!
First, go into the castle website,-castlemountaineering.com and log in with that password you carefully saved from Al- took me ages to find mine! I have this website flagged as a favourite so I can get in easily and also chose to stay logged in so I dont have to remember my password.
Then at the bottom of the messages, you can create a new topic title in the box. Then you see all these words- b and link etc- I am told these are fonts etc, so I just ignore these, and go down to the faint box underneath them and get typing. Then scroll down to the bottom and SUBMIT. Hope this helps!!
