You must register using an acronym for your institution followed by an underscore, your first initial and your last name. If you register without following one of the above methods your account may be deleted without notification. After you register you will still have to log on each time you use Townhall. You must log in everytime you access Townhall. The 2 main levels where information is posted are folder s and discussions .
Folders organize the conference.
They contain discussions or other sub-folders. A folder is comparable to a file in a filing cabinet or a folder or directory on your computer's hard disk. Every folder has a title and a heading, which describes the folder. The hierarchy of a Townhall site, and whether or not participants can add folders or just add discussions or messages, is determined by the host. A discussion is a collection of posted asynchronous messages that reside in a folder.
