- MAIN Function J - Join Conference
-
- This command provides you access to RBBS-PC's Conferences and Sub-Boards.
- A Conference is a separate message area, usually focused on a single topic.
- A Sub-Board is an entire BBS within the main BBS, with its own message
- base, file catalogs, and possibly even a different SYSOP. However, the
- Join command works the same for Conferences and Sub-Boards.
-
- You will be presented with a list of conferences after you enter the "J"
- command. You can then type in the name of the conference you wish to join,
- or press L)ist to get the list again. Press ENTER to exit the conference
- command.
-
- TIPS:
- 1. RBBS-PC offers both public and private teleconferencing capabilities.
- Private conferences and Sub-Boards will have unique entry requirements
- which you will have to meet before being allowed to join.
-
- 2. To go from any conference back to the MAIN message area, use the QUIT
- CONFERNECE (Q C) command, or use the JOIN command to join the MAIN
- Conference (J M).
-
- 3. You can go directly from the Main Menu into a conference by entering
- "J" and the conference name. For example, you could enter the "GAMES"
- conference with the following command: "J GAMES".
-
- 4. You will not see a list of available conferences if you enter the
- Conference System while in the Expert Mode. Enter an "L" to get the
- conference list.
-
- 5. You can perform a valuable service by using the comment or message
- functions to suggest teleconference topics to the SYSOP.
