Title: New Forum Tips and Tricks
Post by: glenn kangiser on November 19, 2007, 12:57:31 PM
Hopefully this is worth something and I got it all right but

To return to your message after posting go to your profile - check the desired boxes.  Return to topics --

Also this forum can show the new postings at the top so you won't have to scroll to the bottom all the time.

Looks like we will need to reload the images into the profile. Mr. Sunshine has his!

You are just so bright and shiny --- glad you didn't come in with that scary alter ego picture.

Note that if you do the option of having new post show up first as noted below you will be looking for page 1 on multi page posts - not the last page.

I wonder if I need a new image?

A problem with doing this option is that links such as to the Underground Cabin Update are sorted in reverse also which will not bring you to the introduction by John but to the last posting instead.  Maybe ok as most members that do the optional switch will know that things start backwards and ones who follow a link to the topic without the optional view switch will end up at the start.  Something to keep in mind if you do the option. ???

Here's how I've set my profile options. Not that this is the best but it is where I'm at now.

The message numbers have changed so I will need to update the links on the homepage and any saved message links will not work.

Now at least you won't try to look back at a record of your accomplishments recorded here and find that some of them have disappeared into thin air. :)
