Helpful Features
Hey everybody. Happy Monday.
This is our last week as a "test site" and I was hoping that you guys could start posting helpful features for our new members.
Then we can copy them all down and post them in this first thread.
I'll start:
There is a "new posts" options in the tool bar to see only threads that have been posted in since you left.
The Quick Links pull down menu gets you a lot of places in just one click.
To respond to more than one post at one time:
1) Click the "multi" button by each post that you want to quote so that it says "multi-on."
2) Then near the bottom of the screen hit "New Reply" (not Quick Reply).
Voila'.
There is an Edit button at the bottom of each of your posts. Most often, editing your post rather than amending it in a new one is better from the point of view of readability.
also, not only does new posts show you where the site has been active since you left, but you can see all of the threads that have posts that you haven't read...ever.
You can also hit "Home" on your keyboard and it will take you to the top of the page.
And "End" conversely
Using IE the F11 key makes the top of the browser disappear. Press it again to have it return.
on that note, f5 refreshes.
On that note, so does a nice cold beer.
If you want to insert a link. You can just type the word you want...
yahoo
then highlight it and click the "insert link" button.
That's how it looks. You can also just do URL tags as follows:
[URL="http:// information here]
then you put the title of the link created, like "Google."
[/U RL]
Remove the space between the U and the RL in the closed tag, of course.
There is an option in the upper right corner that says "view unread posts". It subdivides into threads you have responded to also others that you have simply viewed.
You can also subscribe to threads you want to follow using the User CP.
