How do you start a chat with multiple people?

What you can do is:

Good luck. :slightly_smiling_face:

@Panther @barnee

Thanks everyone.

I’ve seen questions about clicking topics and how to get to the end of a discussion. There are a few things to know about topics and navigating to posts.

First, the forum keeps track of where you left off reading for every topic. If you’ve never read a topic then clicking the topic title will take you to the first post. If you scroll and make it to post number 26, then the next time you click that topic, you’ll start on topic 27 (if there are 41 posts then you’ll still be sent to #27 so that you can read 27 thru 41)

I don’t know why the gif isn’t animating but if you click the title, scroll a few posts into the topic, go back, click the title again, you’re exactly where you left off.

You need to be logged in for this to work.

Next, just like the old forums, you can jump to the last post of any topic by clicking on the date in the last (far right) column of each topic. The links are highlighted in yellow below

While you are reading a topic you can also jump to the end or the beginning very easily. A the the top of a post in the title bar there are some navigation controls.

Double arrow up: first post (circled in yellow below)
Double arrow down: last post (circled in orange below)

The single arrows are basically page-up and page-down.

@Carolina said in Forum improved???:

For something like house rules, you need to be able to sort (for example) everything related to “mines”.

Please use the Search for it 0_1542795131651_search4.PNG

Klicking on this symbol brings you to 0_1542795184336_search5.png where you can enter your keyword .
Or klick on the gear wheels and specify the search according to your needs:

The search has improved a lot compared to the old forum software.

We additionally have the “Home-button” 0_1542475153872_home.PNG that brings us to www.axisandallies.org - what is fine, IMHO.

Now those two buttons (Logo and Categories-View) actually lead to the forum home:

The Logo-Button is configurable in the settings. So when experimenting with the setting in …

… I did not find anything better than your pre-setting (=forum home) as default.

Maybe it should be just pointed out that every user can individually set his preferred page there (for example a special category):

I can change the subject name at will, again and again.
I can modify and erase, again and again, almost all of the message body, except I cannot left it empty.

@Imperious:

That’s why in these cases the Moderator can simply move this to where it belongs. I have no idea why that hasn’t been done already. The solution is NOT to allow the OP to just delete a thread which contains others people’s posts.

Here is above, another alternative solution (while waiting a Moderator) that an Opening Poster can do on its own Opening post.

It is possible to left almost everything blank, except for 1 single character (a dot is enough) in this two:
No subject was filled in.
The message body was left empty.

So if someone is starting a new thread in the wrong forum, just let him know that he have just to start a new one in the good forum and just copy the message body from his older one.
Then, once it is done he can erase everything and left a single dot “.” in both subject and message body section.

The OP is not powerless about is own post and starting thread.
He can also left a message like this: “To mod: Erase this thread, please.”

All the others replies can be easily erase by each author.

Ha, not really.
Usually I leave my computer on to this screen and just turn off my monitor since I’m too lazy to close the window. :P

Oh yeah a chat room can be a great thing. It shouldn’t be that hard to do.
