4specs Discussion Forum

Here are some hints on using the 4specs Discussion Forum.

Rather than adding to the bottom of a long conversation, you can "Start a New Thread" and divide the Conversation into new topics.
This forum is a semi-moderated forum. This means that registered users' postings will go up immediately and non-registered users will go through a moderator before being posted.

Register - While not required to read or submit postings, by registering, your postings will go up immediately and you can select to be notified of all new message in the areas you are interested. If you do not delete cookies, you will not have to log in again.

Registration in the forum is limited to specifiers, architects, engineers and others on the design side of commercial construction, including code officials. All others are welcome to read and post, subject to moderator approval. Suggestions:

Pick a user name and an easy to remember password when registering. You can always click on "Post as Anonymous" if you do not want your identity displayed on specific postings. Use your professional designators (AIA, CCS, CDT as appropriate) to let others know your experience level.
You can set your preferences to receive emails on any messages posted in Discussions you have an interest in.
You will receive an email to the listed address. To complete the registration process, you need to click on the special link in that email to verify the information.
When posting after being approved, use your username and password and the postings will be visible immediately.
On the tool bar on the bottom of the next page is a link for "User Profile" to edit your profile and change any email preferences.
If you have a problem, send us an email and we will help resolve any problems, including lost passwords.
