New and confused

Hi all, I am new to this type of venue and am not finding it easy to navigate the forums. I have looked around for some type of guidance, but have not had much luck so far. I tried to post a reply to a thread also. I was unable to because of not having enough points. How do you earn points?

I'm getting old and confused. Welcome to the site.

You need twenty "posts" to start a "thread'. Replying is simple: Hit the "Reply To" next to "Quote" in the top right of anyones post.

As for the rest of it, be patient. People will be along to give you more pointers.

Oh, and welcome.

Edit to add: heres a bunch of stuff about how things work...

Anyway New and Confused...velcome.

Welccome. You should be able to reply to others threads but not create your own until you have posted 20 times, so look around at whats being discussed and throw your 2 cents in, it won't take too long

Append /forum to the URL and it shows all the forums. Not sure if that's helpful lol

Click myATS on top right nav bar and you will have links to threads you have participated in.

I use the 'New Topics' link a bunch.

*Edit: or just click the 'Forums' link in that same nav bar....oops haha

Hope you learn your way around.

You need to purchase the ATS starter kit for $399.99 which includes your tin foil hat, anti troll spray and bottles of urine for when you visit the survivalist forum.

"Forums" button up top is still my favorite button.

lol i was thinking the same.

I want the starter kit!

At least the instructions for the tin foil 'hat'!

Welcome.
