I'm fairly new to the whole CC thing but I know my way around a few things. One concept I cannot seem to grasp though is emmiting a rednet message onto an adjacent monitor from a computer. The code I tried (and horridly failed) was a simple one.
side = "right"
text = "Thorfin25"
red = "back"
rednet.close(red)
rednet.open(red)
mon = peripheral.wrap(side)
mon.setTextScale(2)
local x, y = rednet.recieve
while true do
mon.setCursorPos(1,1)
mon.write(text)
mon.setCursorPos(1,2)
mon.write(y)
mon.setCursorPos(1,3)
mon.write(textutils.formatTime(os.time(),false)) -- use true for 12h time
sleep(1)
mon.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
end

Split into new topic.
You have to actually call the receive function:
local x, y = rednet.receive()

I forgot to write that in my code, but I have been calling it with the () when I start it up I get no errors, the screen just remains blank.

Please make sure you typed the rest of it over correctly, verifying that each and every single character is exactly the same.

Here's a few changes:
side = "right"
text = "Thorfin25"
red = "back"
rednet.close(red)
rednet.open(red)
mon = peripheral.wrap(side)
mon.setTextScale(2)
local x, y = rednet.receive()
--# got rid of the loop since it would never write anything different.
mon.setCursorPos(1,1)
mon.write(text)
mon.setCursorPos(1,2)
mon.write(y)
mon.setCursorPos(1,3)
mon.write(textutils.formatTime(os.time(),false))
--# got rid of "time" line, since that would throw an '=' expected error.
--# got rid of sleep and clear lines, since it will only ever write one message.

I see you just wanted to print a Message in a Monitor.I Seriously simplified your Code Down there
rednet.open("back")
mon.setTextScale(2)
mon.setCursorPos( 1,1 )
print [[
ALL THE TEXT YOU WANT
THEN END WITH DOUBLE SQUARE BRACKETS ]]
rednet.close("back")
Some optional stuff that might help you.
If you use term.setBackgroundColor( colors.— ) and dont use term.clear() then the screen will not have its full background color changed.
Only the background color behind the letters will.This might have helped you a little
