2.5.4 Inserting New Articles
If you have the appropriate access permissions, you can participate in a
newsgroup by inserting a new article (as opposed to replying to an existing
article). When you insert an article, you start a new thread in the
discussion.
ARTICLES AND REPLIES
There are four different article types. The icons for the different response
types are as follows:
question
answer
remark
hint
New articles are submitted to newsgroups
as follows:
- Access the newsgroup as described on
page
125.
- Click on the New button in the Forum dialog box. The New Article
dialog box appears (see Figure 86).

- Use the option buttons to specify the type of text (HTML or plain) you are
submitting.
- Enter the content of the article in the Article text box.
- Use the options buttons to specify whether you are submitting a
Question, Answer, Remark or Hint.
- Optionally add an attachment to the article. Enter a title for the
attachment and click on the Browse button to locate the file you want to
attach in the file system.
- Click on the OK button. Your article will appear in the newsgroup.
When
you attach a file to a newsgroup article and single click, the article will be
displayed as in Figure 87.
