The Message Board Message page displays the selected message. To get back to the selected Message Board, click the "message board" link on top of the message page. To get back to the Message Board Index, click the "category" link on top of the message page.
Depending on the settings in your User Profile (if logins are required to post messages), one of two items will appear below the selected message.
If Threaded Messages is checked in your User Profile, a tree containing the subjects of the entire thread will appear below the message. Simply select the subject of the message you would like to view.
If Threaded Messages is NOT checked in your User Profile, a list of all the messages in the thread will appear below the selected message.
Editing or deleting the current message is only available if you posted the message and have the appropriate permissions. Otherwise, you must be a moderator to do so.
If the thread you are viewing has been locked by a moderator, you will not be able to reply to, edit, or delete the message unless you are a moderator.
The buttons that appear on the toolbar vary depending on the permissions you have, the options enabled on this message board, and if you are logged in.

If the site administrator requires messages to be approved, messages will not be visible until they have been approved by a moderator. If you are a moderator, all messages (including unapproved messages) will be visible and any message (or topic containing a message) that is awaiting approval will have a red flashing light bulb next to the subject. To approve a message, edit it, check the Approved box, and save it.
