Energy Equinox Posted February 7, 2014 So I joined the site and it said to come here to post something about myself so I could get started. ( Not much of an introduction to the site.) I came here and was totally confused. But I think I figured it out!  Step 1: BREATHE  Step 2: Verify account via email that was sent to the email address I used  Step 3: BREATHE  Step 4: Come back to this area (http://thetaobums.com/forum/41-lobby/) and click the Start New Topic button  Step 5: BREATHE  Step 6: Post a new topic introducing yourself. Click the Post New Topic button at the bottom of the screen...you're done!  Step 7: SMILE   <confused on how others would actually waste time reading these posts with all the spam posts but, hey, it's their site so I'm postin.' Here's a novel idea...why not put an introduction text field in the Profile section so people can read about you when they check out your profile? >  So TaoBums...is this enough for you to know I'm a real person and not a spambot?  LOVE YOU GUYS! VERY GLAD TO BE HERE!  (Lemme know if you'd like help on making the user experience a little better. I'd be glad to help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chang Posted February 8, 2014 Hello and welcome to the Tao Bums. Â I am sorry that you have found the introductory process so vexing ( it provides an opportunity for the prospective member to give details of their interests and practices not solely to prove their humanity rather than spambotness) but it is over now and you will be able to post freely in the forum. Before getting started you may like to read the two posts pinned at the top of the Lobby and take a look at the forum terms and rules http://thetaobums.com/topic/19575-forum-terms-rules/ This is all that you need be aware of to get started. Â Good luck and best wishes, Â Chang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
