hey everyone I'm fairly new to tumbling but have a few barrels under my belt (with varying degrees of success). I'll spend a little time settling in then bombard y'all with "what do think this is....?", "how do I go about doing this....?" type questions. Glenn

Welcome Glenn to the Forum from Northern California! If you want to create a thread (statement or question) open the FORUM menu at the top of the page. For rock tumbling questions: Under the section LAPIDARY DISCUSSION TOPICS, select ROCK TUMBLING. At the top of the section (just above the page numbers and the SELECT / ACTION / SEARCH line) is a line that has ROCK TUMBLING on the left and CREATE THREAD on the right. Select CREATE THREAD. Type in a SUBJECT that abbreviates your need (key words help to focus other's attention) Type in your question (or statement) in the text box below. For rock identification: Use the same procedure... FORUM ADDITIONAL ROCK RELATED TOPICS ROCK IDENTIFICATION (Note: It helps me allot to create my questions using a text editor first - like Microsoft Word - and then to cut and paste the question into that text box. Once you have pasted the question, go through your text and add correct spacing and highlights. If while doing this you loose all your editing... it happens to me now and again... you can easily go back to your text editor and do another copy and paste.) I hope this helps you. Glenn (catchy name... Sorry... not Irish.

Once you have pasted the question, go through your text and add correct spacing and highlights. If while doing this you loose all your editing... it happens to me now and again... you can easily go back to your text editor and do another copy and paste.) Or, you can let the forum software save your draft for you while you're working on it. Go to My Profile>Edit Profile>Settings. There you'll see an option for "Enable Drafts." Select "yes" and then save the changes. With this enabled, the post you're working on is saved until you actually post it. It's a nice option. If you accidentally close your browser before you post, a reply box with your draft post will pop up when you return to the forum. You'll have the option of using it or discarding it.
