Welcome to the EGCP Forum
Using the EGCP forum
The EGCP forum has been established for a number of reasons including;
- to encourage interested parties to discuss and debate marine and coastal issues
- to discuss and resolve concerns
- to air your views and post ideas, opinions, and information.
- to let each other know what is happening in the area
- and ultimately to get folk talking!!
From this, we would like to achieve a more joined up way of managing our coast by letting each other know the problems currently faced and most importantly how you all think they can be tackled.
Postings in the forum are organized in three ways:
- Post - A post is a piece of information submitted by a single user. It may be a new post, which starts a new topic, or a reply to an existing post. Posts are typically a sentence, paragraph, or a few paragraphs.
- Topic - A topic is a collection of posts. The posts are organized in chronological order. The idea of a topic is that there is a single post that contains the topic of discussion. The rest of the posts in the topic are replies to this first post and to other replies. Topics are sort of like conversations, allowing many people to state their opinions about an idea, or debate an issue.
- Forum - A forum is a container for topics. Forums often have a general subject that the topics within are about. For instance, you might have a Favourite beaches forum, which would contain topics where people would discuss their favourite beaches and their opinions about them.
Navigating through the posts is based on the idea of posts, topics and forums. Generally, a user will start at the Forum Index.
The Forum Index shows a list of forums. If you click on one of these, you will be shown a list of the topics within that forum. If you click on a topic, you will be shown a listing of the posts in that topic, e.g. Climbing at Cove. The posts in a topic are organized chronologically, with the oldest post first.
