Freedom Fortress [Inoperable, Being Reconstituted]

Frequently Asked Questions

Sending Messages

How do I start a new thread?

You have three choices for starting a new thread:

Power Tip: You can send your message to more than one of the above addresses at the same time. Doing this instead of sending multiple messages will prevent recipients from receiving multiple copies of your message and will allow all recipients to see all replies.

How do I reply to a thread?

Just press the Reply button. Your reply will be sent to everyone participating in that thread. If you intend to change the topic of discussion, you should start a new thread instead of replying, as some members may have already opted out of the existing thread.

Can I send a message to a single member?

Presently Freedom Fortress does not provide a way to contact a single member. If there is sufficient demand, this capability may be added in the future.

Can I send attachments?

Yes, but the maximum total message size must be less than 256 KiB, including all headers and alternative-format body parts, and taking into account content transfer encodings. If your message gets bounced because it was too large, here are some steps you can try for reducing its size:
