I'M NEW AT THIS SITE, AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO POST A THREAD. I HAVE POSTED A FEW THREADS AND END UP POSTING THEM TWO TIMES. ANYONE OUT THERE THAT WOULD HELP A NEW PERSON AT THIS SITE ? ONE PERSON TOLD ME NOT TO POST TWO THREADS WITH THE SAME QUESTION, WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD DONE THAT.
THANKS, FROM CAUGHT UP IN A BALL OF THREAD.:confused:

Re: Posting Threads. ??

Hi Big D Welcome too. First , as a courtosy to others lose the "ALL CAPS"
most boards view this as a person shouting every word .:) On top of each section is a "sticky" that offers help / Frequently asked questions /posting tips - read these first . Most times you can get your info here . Also try the search function under the top blue bar .
As for the double posts you are probably re-clicking the button . I have dial-up and some times you need lots of patience for things to load .:redface:
Pick a topic , post it in the best topic area , we are happy to help ! peter

Welcome,
Firstly find the caps lock button on your keyboard.
If you are double posting you may be hitting the back button after posting, seeing what you wrote again and re-submitting it.
We all look forward to some quiet conversation.

Ken.

Re: Posting Threads. ??

you also must be logged in to post. use part of your problem in the title to your thread, not HELP, or your name. be concise and give all the data you have, if an engine question, state which engine you have, hp, year, model #. do just say my 20 horse will not start, tell us what motor, and what you have tried.

also, do not start 2 or 3 threads about the same thing. this is a very busy forum, you may have to go the the 2nd or 3rd page to find your last entry.
