The list is normal email - you reply to a previous post, quoting
whatever parts of that are relevant and adding whatever else you
wish to say at that point.

I'm aware of one site which presented the list as a forum, but I
think that posts from there tend to get delayed pending admin
approval because they come through as 'not subscribed'.

All I can see at the moment is  that you were following _a_
tutorial, but you haven't given any link to it.  There are thousands
of gimp tutorials out there, and many of them are out of date
(prepared for previous versions).  It might also help if you explain
exactly which version of gimp you are using, and on which operating
system (some of the details about how/where things appear might
differ).

Oh, and subscribing to the digest tends to break threads!  So, your
earlier post appeared and got a reply suggesting that you ask the
question, but now you have created a separate thread and used a
different name.  It's not as if gimp-users is even a medium-volume
list.
