What is a VBS anyway?
So how do I use this crazy thing?
Why don't my new entries show up!?
How come I can't hear any of the sounds?
What's the chat room?
Ha! I found a bug!
VBS is great, where can I get a copy?
The top-left frame contains all the current headings and the number of subheadings located within each heading. This will be the only frame with information in it when you first enter the VBS. At this point, you may either click any topic to enter it, or click the "ADD" button, to add a new heading of your own, or the "REMOVE" button to remove a heading (caution: removing headings will also remove all subheadings and messages under this heading), assuming you have access rights to it. This will pop up a small window where you may enter the information for the new heading. You can enter the heading itself, as well as a password and username to protect it. It can be placed either on the top of the heading list, or after any other headings already there. Simply hit the "ADD" button to add it, or "CANCEL" to cancel it.
Once a heading has been selected, the subheading frame will activate, and any subheadings under that heading will appear along with the number of messages located within each subheading. The interface here is the same as for headings, simply click a subheading, or add or remove other subheadings.
The bottom frame is the title frame. Here is where all messages will appear, after a heading and subheading have been selected (assuming there are any messages already entered). It will tell you what type of message it is (HTML, TEXT, or LINK), as well as show the subject of the message, and the date and time it was entered. If you click the title, the message will pop up in a new window for you to read. This window contains buttons to close it when you are done, or to reply to the message as well. If there are any sounds embedded in the image, just double-click on the graphic to play the sound.
To enter new messages, you need to click on the "ADD" button. A new window will pop up with the interface to enter a new message. First you enter a topic, then choose where to place it, then enter your name, an optional password, and your email address. Choose the radio button corresponding to the type of data contained in your message. If it is a URL, just fill in the URL field, otherwise, enter your message in the message field (HTML messages can of course contain all sorts of HTML codes in the message). When done, scroll down in the window, and you may find the sound menu if the administrator has enabled it. You may choose to embed a sound in your message, and if you do, use this list to choose the sound. Click the "Test this sound" button to hear the sound before you post it. When done, hit the "ADD" button to post the message, or hit "CANCEL".
