New Member Orientation

[txcas]

Thanks to @jvw2008 for compiling this information for our new members:

The historic and iconic term "Creedmoor", has been related to "excellence in rifle performance" since the late 1800's.  From the original range on the Creed farm in New York, to today's most versatile center fire cartridge, the name carries prestige.  The Creedmoor forum focuses on its namesake cartridge, but it is also open to discussion of information from all rifle cartridges.  We believe the broadened knowledge from multiple cartridges will help significantly,  in your pursuit of excellence with the variety of Creedmoor cartridges used today.  Our members strive to provide a friendly, supportive, and sharing environment for all.  No question is too trivial and disrespectful conduct is not tolerated.  Welcome to our family of firearm enthusiasts who are here to learn and share.

Forum Navigation Basics
Both desktop and mobile devices are supported. Depending on your device, you may see slight variations in format.  On log in, the forum opens to the Home page which gives an overview of current member activity, including the most recent posts. Once logged in, you can access your personal profile from your avatar on the left side of the Home page.  In the menu bar of the Home page, you will find access to the full Forum page and various Search options.  From the menu bar click Forum, and then click any subject listed there to gain access to all threads ever posted on the forum.  Threads will be listed from newest to oldest.  The Search options in the Home page menu bar are broad and will help you find specific information that has been posted in the past.

Posting
If you would like to start a new thread, click on the appropriate subject on the Forum page.  Activate "user action" and place your question or information within the box after giving your thread a title.  Don't forget to click "post" when you are done.
If you want to contribute to a thread that already exists, move to the last entry and write your response in the "quick response" box before posting.  Pictures can be added to your post using the "add image" tool.
A new member verification tool will prevent your first five posts from loading.  This is in place to discourage trolls from disrupting forum activity.  Once you have completed the five-attempt process, all following posts will automatically load.

Forum Support
This forum is a member operated, non-profit endeavor - with internet expenses.  It is not our goal to secure a profit, but rather to just stay afloat.  The development, maintenance, and monitoring of the forum is accomplished by forum members who volunteer their time and expertise.  As with many firearm forums today, the standard Google ad financial support is no longer available.  If you are not volunteering your time and you believe you receive a benefit from information you acquire here as a member, our whole membership would truly appreciate a monetary donation that you feel you can afford.  Scheduled donations can be made through the donation link on the Home page.  If you want to toss in an occasional "tip", click on the coffee cup icon.  Thank you.
