Since some of you are not so familiar with posting a message in a forum, I'd better put some instructions here:

Posting Basics
To view a message, click on the link of the message title.
To email the person who posted the message, simly click on the link of the name.
To post a new message, fill in your name, the message title and the message body text in the form below the table.
You may include your email address, but that's optional (see, I'm not doing it!).
Choose your emotion with that drop-down list. (this is just for fun)
Click on sent, and after checking what you've written, confirm it.
Now you should see your message in the main table.

Replying (i.e. adding a thread)
When you've clicked on the message title in the main table, the link will bring you to that message.
After reading it, and you wish to reply, you can fill in the form below the message.
It's the same form when you post a new message, but this time it'll go under someone else's.

Advance function
If you wish to add a link, say like you want someone to read another homepage.....
*Hey everyone let's play some games!!! Check Gamespot out!!!*
This is basic HTML. What I've done is put (a href="http://www.gamespot.com") and (/a) between "Check Gamespot put!!!" Yeah, the brackets ( ) should be the the pointy ones, above the "," and "." : < >

This will be an advantage later on if anyone find any interesting sites.
This is quite confusing, but you don't usually need it. I can answer better offline for this, if anyone need.

I plan to put the publication logo at the top. Sure you can do some image linking here :), but files shouldn't be too big. There's some more administration options. I can change the format, colour, post orders etc later on, if you think it looks too ugly. Feel free to ask anything about the forum too, and please be an active member by putting in more posts concerning the publication (doesn't matter if it's crap). Remember to check replying posts too. Enjoy!
