Hi,
Pretty new to the site and never used the forum, so any tips..?
Dont know if there is a protocol for joining topics or threads or can i just jump in.
Look forward to adding to this great forum |

Worth adding that when going for the 'Reply with quote' option there is sometimes no real need to keep re-quoting a whole string of previous quoted replies.
A bit of judicious editing of the frequently ever growing narrative down to just the bit you are specifically replying to is not a bad idea.
Keeps it snappy. |

As demonstrated by me 
But seriously, if you are replying to someone in particular then use the 'reply with quote' link so they know it's intended for them.
Some of the political/virus threads can be quite heavy. If that's your thing then wade on in, just remember there's still a person on the other side of the debate.
Welcome to the forums, join in, pass the lockdown, and maybe even make a few connections to take forward into safer times.  |

For a perfect illustration of what I mean, look no further than the thread about
'Head of Immunisation for Public Health England' on the Virus Forum.
