In index page (home page) look for "FOR BEGINNERS: What is it? Where is it from?" or "What is it? - Where is it from?". Click the appropriate option and a new page will be open. Up left you will find the button "New topic".
Please read Asking: "What is this? / Where is it from?". |

At your register you should have received the message below. Please read it carefully, specially this: A general guide for using the Forum with some rules and tips
Welcome to FMF - Friends of Minerals Forum, discussion and message board

Thank you for registering and welcome to FMF, your mineral forum.
We would like to offer you a short description of FMF so that you can get the most from it.
In the center of the screen you will see a magnifying glass that you can use to search for information that has been published on the forum.
Just below that you will see a link to 'A general guide for using the Forum with some rules and tips': http://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=1941 It includes some basic rules which help keep things in order and make the work of the moderators easier.
On the left of the page you will see an 'Index' button that you can use at any time to get back to the main page of the Forum. On it you can see the various categories of subjects relating to minerals, which you can enter and then tell people about your experience or ask any questions you may have about the locality of a specimen, scientific aspects, how to photograph a mineral, etc. Each Section has a brief description that tells you about the types of things it contains which will help you select the right section for a new Topic. That way we can keep them in order and more members are likely to reply. To see more about how to start a new Topic please read this message http://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=1940
The aim of the forum is non-commercial, so the sending of personal messages ('pm') is blocked for the first 10 days for new members to avoid spamers using 'pm' to send personal mailings to each Forum member. That said, new members can receive a 'pm' and reply to it.
We ask that new members make an effort to present themselves to the other members with a short message. This is not required, but we find that it does help improve the way we all get along with each other on the forum. You can do it on this: http://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewforum.php?f=23
We look forward to your participation and help in making FMF a great place.
Yours
