Hi, malou. It looks like you have found out that you can click on Modify in order to edit your post. The forum software lets you do that for only a day or two before the Modify button disappears, so I hope you will click on Modify again and type more into the white box before you click on Save.

Right now, I am seeing just a one-letter message. Did you click on Preview and not know where you could type the rest of your message? Nothing can be typed in the blue Preview area, only in the white area. Then you can click on Preview again to see the changes you are making. My apology if I am telling you things you already know.

Welcome to the hep forums community.  Feel free to ask your questions -- we forum members will do our best to answer them.

Sorry gnatty, after I posted, I realized I could learn more from reading others' posts, so I tried to delete but could not.  So instead of looking totally stupid, I got it to this point and was hoping someone would see my mistake and just delete it.

This gave me a good laugh not at you but with you because I am still trying to figure out how to navigate around this forum myself and I no longer have the newbie excuse.
Stick around you will learn a lot and meet many caring people.

malou, thanks for letting us know what lay behind your cryptic message. Even if you were to ask something that has been answered elsewhere, that is fine -- nobody has the time to read all the posts on this forum that could possibly answer one's question. Plus, (1) a better answer may be forthcoming, and (2) whoever answers will feel good, which will strengthen their immune systems, so it's a win-win.

As soon as you make a third post, the label beneath your name will automatically change from Newbie to Member. Pretty soon, you'll be able to help and encourage others, which'll be good for your immune system :)
