Take Note! (a few words about how the user should fill in the reply form)
When the user fills in the reply form he/she will need to enter his/her email address. Only if the email address entered is found to be *correct than the form will be submitted (This is done to prevent spamming).
*A correct email - means that it is the same email address the user submitted when he filled in the original form.
This email validation will ensure that the form filler is using the same email address throughout his correspondence.
|
8)
|
All messages will be displayed in a tree structure on the left side of the "private forum" window.
Each time you select a branch from the discussion tree (node) you will be able to see when this message was entered, by whom and what what the message content is.
