I'm not familiar with this board format. How do I "like" a thread?
And, how do I find all my posts/threads? Thanks much,Dan

☆ I looked in user CP and clicked on user name in top right corner.

You can like a post, I’m not sure how to like an entire thread. If you want notifications on thread you’ve started, there is a little grey box for that. And that’s all I’ve picked up so far.

I’m still not sure how people are answering multiple quotes in the same post.

[HumboldtEF]

You can rate a thread by clicking the 'Thread Tools' tab which is just above the top post in a little bar and on the right side of it theres a few options, LinkBack, Thread Tools, Search this Thread, Rate Thread and Display Modes.

To like a post you hover the mouse over the post and a 'Like' and 'Share' button will pop up

To find all of your threads go to 'User CP', then to 'Your Profile', then click the 'Statistics' tab and you'll see options to look at all posts or all threads you've started.
I've got mine setup to be a bit easier, go into the 'User CP' click 'Edit Options' and look for the 'Default Subscription Option' in the drop down menu select anything but 'Do Not Subscribe' this way now you can simply click on 'User CP' and then 'List Subscriptions' to bring up all of your threads and posts.

As for multiple quotes theres a 'Multi Quote' option just to the right of 'Quote' button, keep in mind for your last quote you need to click the quote button to finish. I'll also go back and edit a post by quoting a post then copying it and not submitting the reply, go back to the original post I wanted to add to and paste in the quote with all of the HTML code or what ever its called.

Assuming you're on the website and not Tapatalk, you should see these icons in the lower right corner of every post:

If you want to multiquote, click the "+ icon in the pic above on each post you want to multiquote...you'll notice the icon will turn red for each post you select. Then click "Quote" in any one of the posts with the red icon and voila, it will open a response window with each clicked post. Then you can reply to each post separately between the [/QUOTE] ending one post and the [QUOTE] beginning the next one. Then you're not guilty of the netiquette faux pas of back-to-back posting ;)

Now, if someone can tell us how to find at least all the threads you've started yourself I would appreciate that information too.

LOL...you beat me, Casey!

Yeah surprising huh, this is one of the fastest moving threads to ever show up in the comments section, its usually a wasteland.


Glad I Taught you something, just to add to this if you're ever curious to know how someone posts something different just quote their post and examine the contents you might find special commands that turn text a color for example but for the love of god please dont color your text, not sure why but sometimes I simply cannot read a block of colored text.



wait this isn't the rant thread

Yep, that's how you "showed" me...I quoted your post and analyzed the code.

Always a color thing with you...orange posts matter!!

If you click on the user name and go to the profile page then click on

“Statistics”





Then you click on the

“Find all threads started by _______”




The next page opened wil be the list of all the threads created/opened by that member.





Or.......If you chose the option

“Find all posts by ______”

above the “find all threads started by _____” , it will display EVERY post ever made.

[HumboldtEF]

And THX_138 has just taught us how to do color and bigger text

[SIZ E=5][CO LOR=YellowGreen] text here [/CO LOR][/SIZ E]
like so

I added spaces in the words color and size so you can see the code for color and larger sized text.

I was able to check this in THX's post by quoting it and going to advanced mode and from their clicking the switch editor mode in the upper right hand corner of the editing box, this changes all of the post contents to just plain text which reveals the code.

[THX_138]

Did I also teach you that I’m lazy and don’t delete my private messages very often???

We suck...I called double posting a faux pas and then did it, you said not to use colored text and then did it.
