This is a brief introduction to the AmazeProperty discussion forums. The forums are free and open to everyone. All visitors can view and search for messages, but only registered users who are logged in can post messages. Logged in users also have some additional functionality available in the forums.

Browsing the Forums

When you visit a forum all threads are displayed in descending order based on the latest reply, starting from the most recently replied to thread.

When you click on a thread the forum by default displays the thread in linear mode showing the original message at the top followed by all replies in chronological order below. If there are more than 20 replies you can find the later replies by moving to the following pages using the thread display navigation tools in the right corner just above and below the list of replies. If you find a thread that you are very interested in and want to receive an email notification if a reply is posted in that thread you can subscribe to the thread using the Subscribe function .

When posting a message you can use BB-code to format your message. You can change fonts, make bullets, indentations, include links, source code and more.
