Reading Messages and Threads


Reading a thread is simple enough.  A thread is a grouping of messages related to the same topic, sorted chronologically (by date).  The newest 25 messages are initially shown, listed from oldest to newest for ease of reading.  Older messages (again in groups of 25) are available via the page links that are displayed, if needed, at the top and bottom of each page.

If you are a player in the game and you are allowed to post to the thread, there will be a link at the bottom of the page that allows you to compose a response.  If you are not a member of the game then this link will be replaced by a "Request Access" link, allowing you to privately contact the GM of the game and ask to join the game.

GMs have a few control mechanisms available to them while viewing a thread to allow them to control some aspects.
