There are various Message Boards in the world of Primal Darkness. Message Boards are intended as a means of communication, allowing messages to be stored publically for a long period of time, a useful tool in discussions regarding large, important topics. Any given board is headed with a list of its available commands:

FINDING AND READING POSTS:
%^YELLOW%^--------------------------

%^YELLOW%^- Simply looking at the board will provide a numbered list of each of its posts, their authors, the topics of the posts and the times that they were posted.

%^YELLOW%^- <read> is the Message board's simplest command, automatically presenting the first post that the commanding player has yet to read.

%^YELLOW%^- <read[#]> allows you to read a specific post.

%^YELLOW%^- <search user [user]> with the name of a person in place of '[user]' will
provide a full list of all of the posts created by that person. %^YELLOW%^*

%^YELLOW%^-<search [post] [what]> with the number of a specific post in place of '[post]' and a keyword in place of '[what]' will provide a list of sentences in the specified post that contain the keyword. %^YELLOW%^*

%^YELLOW%^- <search [what]> with a keyword in place of '[what]' will provide a list of all of the posts that contain the keyword. %^YELLOW%^*

%^YELLOW%^* Searches will only provide results for the board that is physically present.


CREATING AND MANIPULATING YOUR OWN POSTS
%^YELLOW%^----------------------------------------

%^YELLOW%^- <post [title]> with the title or topic of your post in place of '[title]' will begin Input. Now you may type the message that you wish to appear when another player reads your post. To conclude the post, a "." (period) must be entered on a line by itself. Please note that you will be unable to do anything while in Input, as all of your commands (save "." on a line by itself) will be regarded as a part of the message.

%^YELLOW%^- <edit [#]> allows you to make changes to a message that you have posted in the past. Replace '[#]' with the number of the post that you wish to edit. End the post by entering "." (period) on a line by itself.

%^YELLOW%^- <answer [#]> is an easy method of replying to a specific post. Simply replace '[#]' with the number of the post that you wish to reply to. Note that the topic of the post will automatically look like this: "Re: [original topic]".

%^YELLOW%^- <remove [#]> will remove a post from the board. Simply replace '[#]' with the number of the post.
