Hey Community!

 

Here are some posting and searching tips to help you find what you’re looking for.

 

SEARCH OR POST

 

Before you post a question, use the Search tool to see if anyone else has posted the same question in the past.

You’ll likely find the answer to your question within a thread, and it will likely be marked as the Accepted Solution. Feel free to join in on the conversation too!

 

Don’t hesitate to use the filters and advanced search options for a more customized experience and precise search results (Note: the filters and advanced search options are available on desktop only).

If you have a question about billing and long distance phone calls for example, punch those key words into the search and sort through the relevant threads. Look for a thread discussing your topic and join the conversation. You can even bookmark a discussion and receive updates when a new message is posted. Simply click on the Options drop-down menu, and click Subscribe.

 

HOW TO POST

 

If you can’t find a thread that is relevant to your topic, it’s time to start a new thread. The first step in starting a thread, is choosing the right board.

 

Desktop: On the homepage, hover over Forums in the grey navigation bar up top and choose the board that makes most sense (see board descriptions below) and select New Post.

 

Mobile: Click on the menu button NBP_Hamburger_nav.png on the top left  and choose the board that makes most sense (see board descriptions below). To start a topic, simply click New Post.

THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN POSTING

 

  • When starting a new thread, try using a title that best describes the topic. This will come in handy when other people search for it.
  • Be as detailed as possible in your post. The more info included, the easier it will be for the Community to help you.
  • Don’t bother posting your question in every board thinking you’ll get a faster answer. All duplicate posts are removed.
  • Make sure to follow the Community guidelines and terms of use.

 

HOW TO FIND YOUR POST AGAIN
