You are already joined if you are posting here. This is a mostly user to user forum where people with problems with their computer, iPad, iPhone, or other Apple products can post their problems and then other people post to try to help them fix the problems. If you look at the main page in the link below, you will see there are specialized forums for many Apple products.

Then why do you choose a community when you send a post?
Because - in order to help - we need to know your device/model/year, the OS you are running, and details of the problem(s) you are having. So it wouldn't make sense to post a question regarding an iPhone in the iMac forum. So, if you have a problem, pick the community that applies to your device/problem and then post the question there. Different people with different areas of expertise hang out in different forums.
Eric's link is VERY good " Help us help You "

Communities are basically categories. For example, if you have a problem with your MacBook Pro, post in the MacBook Pro forum/category, where people who are experienced with MacBook Pros are more likely to frequent.
EDIT . Formatting - these editors are flaky - today at least

History
The modern forum originated from bulletin boards, and so-called computer conferencing systems, and are a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system.[2][3] From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content.[3][4]
Early Internet forums could be described as a web version of an electronic mailing list or newsgroup (such as exist on Usenet); allowing people to post messages and comment on other messages. Later developments emulated the different newsgroups or individual lists, providing more than one forum, dedicated to a particular topic.[2]
Internet forums are prevalent in several developed countries. Japan posts the most[citation needed] with over two million per day on their largest forum, 2channel. China also has many millions of posts on forums such as Tianya Club.
Some of the very first forum systems were the Planet-Forum system, developed in the beginning of the 1970-s, the EIES system, first operational in 1976, and the KOM system, first operational in 1977.
One of the first forum sites, and still active today, is Delphi Forums, once called Delphi (online service). The service, with four million members, dates to 1983.
Forums perform a function similar to that of dial-up bulletin board systems and Usenet networks that were first created starting in the late 1970s.[2] Early web-based forums date back as far as 1994, with the WIT[5] project from W3 Consortium and starting from this time, many alternatives were created.[6] A sense of virtual community often develops around forums that have regular users. Technology, video games, sports, music, fashion, religion, and politics are popular areas for forum themes, but there are forums for a huge number of topics. Internet slang and image macros popular across the Internet are abundant and widely used in Internet forums.
Forum software packages are widely available on the Internet and are written in a variety of programming languages, such as PHP, Perl, Java and ASP. The configuration and records of posts can be stored in text files or in a database. Each package offers different features, from the most basic, providing text-only postings, to more advanced packages, offering multimedia support and formatting code (usually known as BBCode). Many packages can be integrated easily into an existing website to allow visitors to post comments on articles.
Several other web applications, such as weblog software, also incorporate forum features. Wordpress comments at the bottom of a blog post allow for a single-threaded discussion of any given blog post. Slashcode, on the other hand, is far more complicated, allowing fully threaded discussions and incorporating a robust moderation and meta-moderation system as well as many of the profile features available to forum users.
Some stand alone threads on forums have reached fame and notability such as the "I am lonely will anyone speak to me" thread on MovieCodec.com's forums, which was described as the "web's top hangout for lonely folk" by Wired Magazine.[7]

i give up on formatting the QUOTES boxes
Apple owns this site and makes it available for users to help other users get answers to technical questions; they make the decisions and the rules:
Why not just leave it at linking to the article? Much neater, quicker, and far less scrolling required by users who don't want to read the whole thing.

Well, I don't intend to spend my life here, so I will generally stop checking threads which have become bloated with page long posts containing many different screenshots and formatting. There is a much less confusing and business-like way without forcing people to read and scroll for pages on end - it is totally irrelevant if you scroll quickly or not. You are publishing it for others to read - give them a choice of either proceeding to the link to read the article or not, rather than forcing them to do so. That is my humble opinion.
We shall agree to disagree so this is my last post here; the OP's questions have been answered and this is turning into another chatroom.
Hey!!
I have lost my old apple id how can i recover that?.
Thanks
