The How do I? thread

[Silvagnis]

Can you still send private messages?

 

[Caesar]

Yup, except they're called Conversations now.

 

[BACCS]

How do you change the words that used to above your avatar, but are now below it?

Small whinge...

Anyone? It shouldn't be this hard...

 

[Caesar]

That functionality is not yet enabled.

How do you report an abusive post to a mod? There used to be a button to report to mod's but the site admin in all of their wisdom have removed this.

There should be a report option next to the Edit Delete at the bottom of your screen.

Still getting used to it, but I mistook that for profile comments.

Thanks, I had to log out and then re-log back in to see the function for some reason.

My guess is it is deliberately being kept to a small number to increase page impressions and ad revenue.

Might sound silly, but how do I quote others?

Click the reply button against their post. To multi-quote click the reply button against multiple posts and it will fill up quotes in the text entry window.

 

[Mighty P]

Excellent, cheers.

 

[Chief]

There are problems with multi-quote across pages at the moment. Those problems being centered around the core issue which is "it doesn't work".

How do you keep a section of boards collapsed in the forum index?

Everytime I close the browser, they expand again.

It's been asked if the cookies or whatever can be saved. Not sure if it's on the public list stickied yet though.

 

[Chief]

"Cookies can be saved" ? If you log out, cookies are wiped. I believe these settings are kept in cookies. Could be wrong.

Not sure, however TappaTalk is now available & working if you want to install that?

In the long term I believe Chief is working on a mobile skin for phones and tablets, which will be more user friendly to your Ipad.

I've seen people have their own little tags under their username, so it must be enabled?

No, it's just carried across whatever they had on the old BigFooty.

 

[demondude]

How do I change my username?

 

[Caesar]

Email the helpdesk. Click 'contact us' down the bottom RHS of the page.

 

[BACCS]

No, it's just carried across whatever they had on the old BigFooty.

So when will it be enabled then? Or should I ask Chief?

No set timeframe.
