The 'How Do I Use This New Site' Thread

This is so we don't clog up the Eulogy thread, and the intro thread.

How the hell does this site work? Is there anyway to jump ahead in pages - because currently whenever I go to a thread I have to scroll down to go to the next page - this is rather annoying ... so how do I avoid that annoying process? TELL ME?!?!

    No, it doesn't help.

    No help there - though I appreciate the effort you made there to answer that... you know posting a link ... unlike your lack of not forwarning the death of the old forum as well ....

    ... sorry that was bitchy, though I'm not actually sorry. So yeah.

    I'm assuming no bold or italic fonts?

    How do we post pictures?

    Avatars can be uploaded from your computer to your profile.

    Threads can be started via the big green button on the top right.

    If there's anything that's not covered by our FAQs, let us know.

    Quoting JamesPage: HTML
    Any way to make bolding, italicizing and other HTML manipulations easier? Like some hyperlinks at the top of the "Post Comment" box? Or is that just not possible?

    @CIS It's actually faster to type most tags than it is to click the buttons.

    I would disagree.

    Still disagreeing with you, Bartleby.

    @Bartleby I guess we can all deal with it, no biggie. Blue-linking is quite tedious, though.

    Is there going to be any way to see the posting history of any one member? When I click on your profile for example, it tells me how many posts you've made but I can't view a list of your posts or on which thread(s) you've made them.

    @CIS I have no way of knowing if that will ever be integrated. For now, you'll have to find more creative ways to stalk me.

    @CIS yes, as you add new Discussions they are added to your Profile page. Try poking around the Profile pages of members who have started new Discussions and you'll see additional tabs next to 'Activity'.

    @JamesPage thanks! So only discussions that they have started show up there, right? So we won't be seeing a list of reply posts that users have made on their profiles?

    Thanks for clearing that up, James. I was trying to figure out why I could do that on some but not on others.

    @CIS Oh God no. I'm just an html enthusiast.

    If its an http:// hyperlink you can put it directly into your post - no trouble - the software will highlight and hyperlink it. If you want, click here text then you may need to be more creative (for the moment). There are quite a few HTML for beginners tutorials out there and most image hosting websites, imageshack, flickr, etc give you the embed code when you upload a picture.

    Its certainly not out of the question that we implement such things. However... the focus on discussion and less on boldness and pictures might prove a good thing in the long run.

    @CIS see the new users guide on the righthand side for a list of moderators.

    The next tab along in the profile is comments...

    Ah, I see, but I'm not seeing that tab on all accounts. Not on mine for example. Or @nick_007 's for another example.

    Is it only administrator accounts that have all of their comment history viewable?

    No, it's members who have posted Discussions and such, not just replied. It's not updated instantly. Give it time.

    Unlike on the old boards the search engine is remarkably powerful. We've also tried to simplify and broaden categories until we see what demand is like. Completely understand it can be daunting.

    Looks like the post limit size is quite large, something like 10 000 characters. I've seen many complain about it, it's still a considerable size.
