Excellent, now I can read message posts and not get annoyed when people go on about their computer posting.

Now that you understand the difference between a computer's "POST" and a message board "post," the next skill to learn is under which category to place the latter.

FYI, this thread should have gone in "Technical Support" or perhaps "General Hardware," but not here. This is the forum for stuff relating to the forum software or issues with forum users (as you should be able to infer from the titles and content of the majority of the threads here).

lol,
I just thought because 'POST' is posted in fourms, (mainly general hardware, tech supp.)

It would be a forum issue (for me it is)
