Navigating boards, postings, and replies
Introduction
MORSL is a private, curated deal-flow and opportunity network. As a Member you can access the boards you have been invited to, browse postings shared by other members, publish your own opportunity postings, and reply to postings that interest you. This guide walks through every step in plain language.
Who this guide is for
This guide is written exclusively for Members. The Member role gives you access to board content. You cannot modify board settings, create incentives, or access administrative pages — those capabilities belong to the Community Administrator role.
What you can do as a Member
- View and switch between the boards you belong to
- Search and filter postings within a board
- Read the full detail of any posting, including incentive information
- Create a new posting on any board you are a member of
- Reply to any posting on your boards
- Track replies on postings you have authored
- Update your profile, appearance preferences, and account settings
Getting Around
2.1 The Top Bar
A slim navigation bar sits at the very top of every MORSL page. It contains four elements:
| Element | What it does |
|---|---|
| MORSL logo | Clicking the logo always returns you to your Member home page (My Boards). |
| Search box | Searches postings by title and body text within the board you are currently viewing. Press Enter to run the search. Clear the box and press Enter to see all postings again. |
| Theme buttons | Three small icons let you switch between Light, Dark, and System (follow your operating system) display modes. Your preference is saved automatically. |
| Your name / avatar | Opens a dropdown menu with links to your profile, all boards, appearance settings, and sign-out. |
2.2 The Member Home Page
After signing in, MORSL takes you to the Member Home page at /public/member_home.php. This page is divided into two panels:
The sidebar lists every board you have been added to as a Member. Boards are sorted by most-recent activity by default. A small blue dot appears next to any board that has received new postings since you last visited it.
Clicking any board in the sidebar loads that board's postings in the right panel. The board name, posting count, and member count appear in the header at the top of the panel.
Working with Boards
3.1 Viewing Your Boards
Your boards are listed in the left sidebar on the Member Home page. Each board entry shows:
- The board name
- The total number of postings on that board
- How long ago the most recent posting was made (e.g. "2h ago", "Apr 9")
- A blue activity dot if there are new postings since your last visit
3.2 Switching Between Boards
Click any board name in the sidebar to load its postings in the right panel. The currently active board is highlighted in blue-green. The board you select remains active until you choose another.
3.3 Sorting Your Board List
A sort dropdown at the top of the sidebar controls the order in which boards appear. The sort takes effect immediately without a page reload.
| Sort option | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Recent activity (default) | Boards with the newest postings appear first. |
| Name A–Z | Boards are sorted alphabetically by name. |
| Most posts | Boards with the highest total number of postings appear first. |
Browsing and Filtering Postings
4.1 The Posting Feed
When you select a board, its postings appear as cards in the right panel, sorted newest first. Each card shows:
- A colour-coded member avatar with initials
- The posting title (click to open the full detail)
- A two-line preview of the posting body text
- The author name (or "You" for your own posts) and relative timestamp
- The reply count, if any replies have been submitted
- A "Your post" badge on postings you authored
- A gold star incentive chip if the board administrator has attached an incentive to the posting
- A Reply button (or View button for your own postings) on the right side of the card
4.2 Visual Indicators on Posting Cards
| Visual signal | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Blue left border | This is a posting you created. |
| Amber left border + gold star chip | This posting has an incentive attached by the community administrator. |
| Both borders present | Amber takes precedence — the posting is yours and has an incentive. |
| "Your post" badge | Confirms you are the author of this posting. |
| Reply count | Number of replies submitted by board members. |
4.3 Filter Pills
Four filter pills sit in the top-right area of the board header. Clicking a pill filters the posting feed immediately.
| Filter | What it shows |
|---|---|
| All (default) | Every posting on the board, newest first. |
| My posts | Only the postings you have created on this board. |
| With incentive | Postings that have an incentive attached by the administrator. |
| Unanswered | Postings that have received zero replies so far. |
Active filters are highlighted in navy blue. Click the same pill again, or click "All", to clear the filter. If you have an active search query and change the filter, the search is preserved.
4.4 Searching Postings
Use the search box in the left sidebar (under the board list) to search postings on the currently active board. You can also use the search box in the top navigation bar.
Viewing a Posting
5.1 Opening a Posting
Click the posting title or the Reply / View button on any posting card to open the full posting detail page. The detail page shows the complete content of the posting, not just the preview excerpt.
5.2 What You See on the Detail Page
The detail page is split into two columns:
- Board badge — the name of the board this posting belongs to
- Posting title in large heading text
- Author initials, posting date and time, and a reference number (e.g. POST-42)
- Full rich-text posting body
- Tags row — board name and incentive title if one is present
- Incentive card — if the community administrator has attached an incentive (see 5.3 below)
- View your matches button — only visible if you are the author of the posting
- Deal snapshot — a quick-reference panel showing board name, post date, incentive details, and author
- Action buttons — only the posting author sees Review matches and Back to board buttons
5.3 Reading an Incentive
If the community administrator has linked an incentive to a posting, a yellow-tinted incentive card appears in the main column below the posting body. The card is read-only for members and displays:
- The incentive title (e.g. "2% referral fee")
- Full incentive details in rich text
- Valid From and Valid To dates, if specified
5.4 Match Stats (Posting Authors Only)
If you are the author of a posting and MORSL's AI matching service found matching members, a teal banner appears near the top of the posting showing the number of members matched, SMS notifications sent, and replies received. Click "View your matches" to see the full list of matched members.
Creating a Posting
6.1 Starting a New Posting
You can start a new posting in two ways:
- Click the "New posting" button in the top-right corner of the board header (the blue button with a plus icon).
- Click "Create a posting" in the empty feed message when no postings exist on a board yet.
Both methods open the New Posting form. The form is always scoped to the board you are currently viewing — you cannot change the destination board from within the form.
6.2 Completing the New Posting Form
The New Posting form has two required fields and one rich text editor:
Enter a brief, descriptive title for your opportunity. Titles are limited to 120 characters. A good title clearly communicates the nature of the opportunity at a glance.
Use the rich text editor to describe your opportunity in detail. The editor supports bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, ordered lists, bullet lists, and hyperlinks. You must enter at least some text — an empty body is not accepted.
6.3 Submitting the Posting
To discard the posting without saving, click "Cancel". You are returned to the board feed.
6.4 What Happens After You Publish
When you publish a posting, MORSL automatically:
- Saves your posting to the board
- Sends an email notification to board members (if configured)
- Runs AI analysis to understand the nature of your opportunity
- Runs AI keyword matching to identify members whose profiles align with your posting
- Redirects you to the Match Review page if matching candidates were found, so you can decide whether to send them outreach
Searching, Viewing, and Creating Replies
7.1 Finding Postings to Reply To
There is no separate inbox for replies. To find postings that are waiting for engagement, use the filter pills in the board feed:
- Click "Unanswered" to see postings that have received no replies yet.
- The reply count on each card (e.g. "3 replies") tells you how active a conversation already is.
- Use the search box to find postings on a specific topic you want to engage with.
7.2 Opening a Posting to Reply
7.3 Writing a Reply
The reply form appears below the posting detail card on the posting view page. To submit a reply:
Reply content is plain text. Keep replies relevant to the specific opportunity in the posting. Replies are visible to all members of the board.
7.4 Viewing Replies on Your Postings
When other members reply to a posting you created, you will be notified by email (if configured). To view the replies:
The match stats banner at the top of your posting (if visible) shows aggregate reply counts from both the web platform and SMS outreach combined.
Account and Settings
8.1 Accessing Your Settings
Click your name or avatar in the top-right corner of any page to open the account dropdown. From there you can navigate to:
| Menu item | What you can do |
|---|---|
| Profile & settings | Update your name, email, phone number, and other profile details on the Account page. |
| Appearance | Change the display theme (light, dark, system) and font preferences. |
| All boards | View the full board listing page showing all boards you are a member of. |
| Sign out | End your current session and return to the login page. |
8.2 Changing Your Display Theme
MORSL supports three display modes. You can change the theme from the three icon buttons in the top navigation bar (sun, moon, circle-half icons), or from the "Appearance" link in the account dropdown.
| Theme | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Light | White background, dark text. Best in bright environments. |
| Dark | Dark background, light text. Easier on the eyes in low-light settings. |
| System | Automatically follows your device's dark/light mode setting. |
Your preference is saved to your account and applies across all devices where you are signed in.
Notification History
The Notification History page gives you a complete, searchable log of every system email and SMS message that MORSL has sent to your account — match alerts, reply notifications, board announcements, and any other automated outreach. It is read-only and personal: you can only see communications addressed to you.
9.1 Reading the Log
To reach the page, open the account dropdown in the top-right corner and click Notification history. The page opens with all messages in reverse chronological order (newest first) and is divided into three areas:
Four stat cards run across the top of the page:
| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Emails | Total number of system emails ever sent to your account. |
| SMS | Total number of SMS messages ever sent to your account. |
| Total | Combined email + SMS count. |
| Filtered | The number of messages currently matching your active filters. Updates as you apply or remove filters. |
A row of pill-shaped buttons lets you narrow the log before reading it. See section 9.2 for full details.
Each row in the table represents one outbound communication. The columns are:
| Column | What it contains |
|---|---|
| When | The date and time the message was dispatched, shown in UTC (e.g. 12 Apr 2026, 9:34am UTC). |
| Channel | A colour-coded badge — navy Email or teal SMS — indicating how the message was delivered. |
| Status | The delivery outcome reported by the sending provider. Green = Delivered / Sent. Red = Failed. Amber = Pending or Queued. Grey = unknown status. |
| Subject / Preview | For emails, the message subject line appears in bold with a short body preview below it. For SMS messages, a preview of the message text is shown. If neither is available the cell shows a dash. |
| Board / Posting | If the message was triggered by activity on a specific board or posting, the board name and posting title appear here to give you context about why the message was sent. |
9.2 Filtering the Log
Three independent filter controls sit in the filter bar. They can be combined freely — for example, you can show only failed SMS messages from a specific board.
Click one of the three channel pills to restrict the log to a single delivery method:
- All channels — default; shows both emails and SMS messages.
- Email — shows only email messages.
- SMS — shows only SMS messages.
Click a status pill to narrow by delivery outcome:
- All statuses — default; shows every message regardless of outcome.
- Delivered — shows only messages confirmed as delivered or sent.
- Failed — shows only messages that encountered a delivery error.
A dropdown to the right of the status pills lists every board you belong to. Select a board name to see only notifications related to that board. Select All boards (the default) to see notifications from all your boards together.
To clear any filter, click the corresponding All … pill or select All boards in the dropdown. All filters reset to their defaults when you navigate away from the page.
9.3 Pagination
The log displays 25 messages per page. If your history spans more than one page, a pagination control appears at the bottom of the table showing your current page, total page count, and Prev / Next buttons alongside individual page number links. Filters are preserved as you move between pages.
9.4 Missing Notifications
If you believe you should have received a notification that does not appear in the log, consider the following before contacting support:
- Check the Failed status filter — the message may have been attempted but not delivered.
- Confirm the correct channel filter is active. A message may appear under SMS but not Email, or vice versa, depending on your account settings.
- Check that the correct board is selected in the board dropdown, or switch to All boards.
If the notification is still absent after checking the above, contact your community administrator. They can review the platform-level communication log and escalate to the MORSL team if needed.

Board Activity Feed
11.1 Overview
The Board Activity Feed gives you a conversation-style view of every posting on a board, together with its incentive (if one is attached) and all member replies. It is designed to let you review a board's full activity at a glance without opening individual postings.
The feed is available from the Board Summary page at /public/board_summary.php. Select any board you are a member of from the dropdown and the feed loads automatically.
| Element | Alignment | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Posting | Left | Author name, timestamp, posting title and full body text. A Closed badge appears on postings that are no longer accepting replies. |
| Incentive | Centre | Incentive title, details, and validity dates. Only shown when a Community Administrator has attached an incentive to the posting. |
| Reply | Right | Replying member name, timestamp, and reply text. An SMS badge indicates the reply was received via text message rather than the web interface. |
11.2 Interactive demo
Use the dropdown below to select a board and preview the activity feed. This demo uses representative sample data to illustrate the layout. The live application loads your real board data from the database.
