The Boards How-To Topic

If you want to ask Eljay a question, edit your original post in the AMA topic and add your question. If it is something a bit more private, you can send him a PM by clicking your little avatar on the top right hand corner and opening the little envelop. There you will find a page that looks like this:

Click on New Message and a box will appear:


All you have to do now is type in Eljay’s name into the Add a user box, fill in a title in the box below it, and add in your question in the large box below that.

The likeliness of him answering the PM question is less than a question asked in the AMA, though.

I mean, technically you could just scroll through all of them. The Boards’ software can’t tell the difference.

That being said, you’d probably be better off reading through a topic that actually interests you. You’re bound to find something if you use that advanced search picture.

What are the specifics of how the polls work? As in, are folks able to vote and the only way to end the voting is to close it?
