Note: This article is for the newly re-designed module. This updated module is in the process of being rolled out and may only be available to some users.
Overview
If Bulletin Board is enabled in your building, you’ll be able to communicate with other residents by posting on a variety of different topics (these will vary, depending on your building.) You’ll also have the ability to reply to others’ posts.
In most buildings, your management team will need to approve your post before it is viewable to other residents. If your management team has not yet approved your post, it will say “Pending Approval.” Once approved, your post will be viewable to other residents on the Bulletin Board. If you have questions about the approval process in your building, please contact your management team directly; BuildingLink Support will be unable to assist with the approval of Bulletin Board postings.

Viewing and Adding Posts
If your building has turned on the Bulletin Board, it will appear on your resident homepage in several ways. In the "Bulletin board" section, you can click Add post to add your own or click View all to view current Bulletin Board posts and add your own.
You’ll also see a list of recent Bulletin Board Postings by going to the Neighbornet tab and selecting Bulletin board. You will also have a button to add a post from that page.
Clicking Add Post from either screen will prompt you to first select a posting category.
After choosing a category, enter a title for your post, the text of your post, and add up to two pictures, if you wish. Please note that there is a 4MB size limit per photo. As such, we recommend saving your images as JPEG files, since these tend to be smaller than other image file types. Click Submit post.
In most buildings, your management team will need to approve your post before it is viewable to other residents. If your management team has not yet approved your post, it will say “Pending Approval.” Once approved, your post will be viewable to other residents on the Bulletin Board.

Editing and Deleting Posts
Go to the Bulletin Board by clicking View all on that section of the resident homepage or by going to the Neighbornet tab and selecting Bulletin Board. Next, find the post you want to edit or delete. (Note: You can only edit or delete your posts.) Clicking Edit will take you to a page to update the original post details. When you are done making changes, click Submit post. Note: If you edit a post that has already been approved, it will need to be approved by management again. To delete a post, click Delete and confirm on the next page.
Adding Comments on Posts
To add a comment to a post, go to the Bulletin Board by clicking View all on that section of the resident homepage or by going to the Neighbornet tab and selecting Bulletin board.
Next, type your comment in the "Add a comment" field of the post and click Add comment. (Note: If you do not see a field to add a comment, comments are not enabled for that post.) If management approval is required for comments, you will see your comment in the "pending approval" status. You can also click Edit to change your comment or Delete to remove it.
Sending Reply Messages on Posts
Go to the Bulletin Board by clicking View all on that section of the resident homepage or by going to the Neighbornet tab and selecting Bulletin Board. Next, click the Send Message button to reply to the post. In the pop-up window, type your message and click Send.
