Stories are submitted
by you, the reader, and are chosen based on their perceived interest level,
timeliness, and relevance to the CFD industry. Once posted, each story
becomes a forum where readers can comment on the story
(or other comments). Comments are moderated by the editors in
an effort to maintain an effective, cordial discussion.
To get started, create a user account, log in, and then contribute
a story or reply to a story with your comments.
Logging in with a user account gives your posts a
slightly better chance of appearing. This works on the theory
that if a post is linked to your name, you will provide a better,
more thought-out, comment. It also lets us give people who
consistently provide insightful comments a louder voice
(the opposite is also true).
You should read the excellent
FAQ on Slashdot.

How do story listings work?
| |
The story listings on the main page are actually just introduction
points to further reading and/or discussion on the subject. Longer
stories will have a body which is linked by the "Read Full Article" tag.
Also, each story is a discussion forum where you can read
others comments and post your own. The "Post Comment" tag links to
a form where you can post a comment on the story. The number of
user comments associated with a story appear below the story listing.
Below is a typical story listing which has been annotated with
descriptions of the various features.
