12. Noticeboard

A Noticeboard is a place that notices can be placed for a limited time, much the same as a pin board noticeboard. This could be to alert you to important information, or to advertise products and services, flat to rent, etc. It may be indicated by a icon.

Sometimes you will only be able to read notices that the site admin has posted. They may however also set it so that you can add your own notices. If you can do this you will see an 'Add Notice' link at the top of the Noticeboard.

12.1. Adding notices

If you can add notices to a Noticeboard, then click on the 'Add Notice' link at the top of the Noticeboard screen. You then need to enter the following details:

  1. Heading - a brief title for the notice.

  2. Body - the text of your notice.

  3. Delete after - this will be set to a default number of days by the site admin, but you can alter the number of days to keep the notice here.
