CYO Camp Field

The 2006 staff reunion was held July 28-30 at Tall Timbers Ranch near Lake Wenatchee. Twenty six (or so) staff members attended the reunion, with various family members in tow. Visit the “Reunion 2006” forum to see what some thought about the reunion. Feel free to add your comments. We will soon be posting pictures in the gallery.

Since some have been having difficulty using the forums, here is a quick step-by-step primer:

1) start by clicking on the “Camp Field Forum” link located on the right.

2) If you have not yet registered with the site, click on the “Register” button on the top left menu bar and follow the registration process (you only need to do this once). If you have already registered, click on the “Log in” button on the top right and enter your id & password. Have the system remember you so that you get logged in automatically each time. Logging in is actually optional, but when you do it the system will remember which posts you have seen and indicate which one you have not yet read — a nice feature.

3) Next enter the forum of your choice. Forums are organized in groups. The current groups include “Staffers speak“, “Reunions“, “Nostalgia“, and “Administrivia“. If you click on one of these group names, it only hides the forums in the other groups (so clicking on “Nostalgia” really doesn’t get you anywhere). Rather, to enter a forum, click on the forum name — in this case I recommend that you click on “Reunion 2006” under the “Reunions” group.

4) Once in the “Reunion 2006” forum, you will see a group of Topics (or discussion threads). At this point, you can either start a new topic/thread on a new subject or you can read the postings in an existing topic/thread. If you want to start a new topic/thread, click the “New Topic” button on the forum page (the new topic should of course be related to the forum; i.e., if you want to start a new topic that is not about the 2006 reunion, then you would want to start it in a different forum than the “Reunion 2006″ forum). To read the postings in an existing topic/thread, simply click on the topic header. If you wish to add a posting to that thread, simply hit the “Post Reply” button (located at the top and bottom of the page) while reading that thread. Again, if what you want to say/post is on a different topic than what is being discussed in that thread, it is best to start a new topic/thread rather than replying to that existing topic/thread.

It’s as simple as that (well, it’s almost simple).

I’ve created a “Test” forum under the “Administrivia” group. Use this forum to test out how to post replies or start new topics.

Email me know if you have problems or questions.
