Since I consistently receive emails and PMs asking how to post or how to start a new topic in our Forums, I thought I would put up a quick article that explains it all!
The first thing you want to do is to look at the Forum Index:
http://www.learnairbrush.com/forums/index.php
and choose an appropriate forum for your question. Each group of forums is labeled and each sub forum has a description which should help you figure out the best place to post your new thread.

Once in the correct forum, simply click the New Topic button:
http://www.learnairbrush.com/images/UPDATES/howto/02.jpg
From here you just fill out the information and go.

Choose a Prefix if appropriate: The prefixes allow for better searching. Assigning a prefix allows users to look for information by category.
Choose a Title: Try to post a title that gives an idea what to expect from the post. Titles are also an important part of searchability. Titles that contain key words of interest will also help you get your thread views and comments up which will in turn boost your MOJO Buck$!
Add the body of the thread. You can use the formatting tools, or use BBCode if you know it.
Add a few tags: Tags again allow people to find your thread by adding key search words to the entry. This is not mandatory, but is nice to help others find information they may be searching for within our large forums.
You can add a post icon if you like. This will show up next to your thread in the forum view index. It is just for fun and a way to add emotion to this form of communication.
Click the Submit New Thread button! You did it!
Now.. if you would like to attach an image to your thread, BEFORE YOU HIT THE SUBMIT BUTTON, scroll down a little farther... below the Submit New Thread Button, and click Manage Attachments.

From here you will get a pop up window:

Navigate to a file on your computer, add a URL from PhotoPost or similar or from your Personal Albums in your User Profile here at LearnAirbrush.com. When you are finished adding images, click upload.
NOTE: If you scroll down below the input sections, you will find the limitations for size on each type of attachment.
Now hit your Submit New Thread button and you are done!
