How to get 'points' enough to be able to post mor ethan one message in 2 minutes

@djensen said in Adding post location to individual posts?:

I know what the issue is. We have too many icons in the nav bar and the logo is too wide. When the window shrinks, it all goes to a new line and messes everything up. :frowning: :grimacing:

But only if you stay in windowed mode. If you stretch it back out and then re-shrink it, the line with the post location drops down (see my last screenshot for how that looks). If you knew how to make the line drop down, without needing to stretch and shrink the screen, you would be golden. Assuming the software let’s you do that…

@SS-GEN said in The new forum has been a lot of work and it's not done yet:

I know it’s getting better but I posted a reply for my game report in house rules and with the changes the stuff just gets buried. Somebody post another tread reply and such now you have to go threw every topic to find it. Just sayin.

If I’m understanding correctly, there’s no difference between the old forum and the new forum for this situation. If you post a topic, and a bunch of folks post different topics, your topic will eventually end up on another page unless somebody replies. On forums, “stuff gets buried” all the time.

Also, you absolutely do not have to go through every topic to find your topic. This has come up multiple times, there are tips and tricks that cover this, I added helpers in the navigation bar. Not to be harsh but I’m just not sure what else we’re supposed to do.

Here’s a recap of your options:

Notifications: there is a bell near your avatar on the toolbar. When somebody replies, there will be a red number. Click that and you’ll get all of your notifications.

Replies to your Posts: I literally added this to the toolbar because people were complaining about finding their stuff. It’s the double-left arrow in the nav bar. It’s literally the same as clicking Notifications followed by “See all Notifications”

Recent Topics: Click the clock in the nav bar. Where it says “All Topics” select “Watched Topics” instead. You can even select a category to further narrow it down.

Recent Watched Topics: Click the eye in the nav bar. That will give you “recent” watched topics, including any topic you made or any topic you replied to. (I think I’ll change this to the next one)

All of Your Watched Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Watched.

Your Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Topics.

Bookmarks: If a particular topic is super important, then click the three dots on a topic, the one next to Reply, Quite, <heart>, < 3 dots> and click Bookmark. To find your bookmarks: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Bookmarks.

That 6 ways to find your stuff. The old forums had a stupid icon that was hard to see and made no sense, I think it was a face or something. The replies to your posts was nice but we have that and more.

Note: there’s a bug with your watched topics if you have infinite scrolling turned on. I’ll file it later.

it is still not working

When G40 is finalized, probably a pretty version might be posted when it’s declared official. It would make an easy depot for this important information and probably we could support it with some of the new setup cards so you got a one stop shop thing going.

I believe inline pic posting is disabled, but if you click on the button of the picture (2nd row, 2nd button), then fill in the URL of your pic, it may show up.

Otherwise, you have to click on the additional options link below the message field and attach the file.

Correct, the “Edit Post” feature was locked out of Games area more than a year ago to prevent moves from being edited.

It has worked well.

Edit should work everywhere else.

Wow… 30,000 post already!!! Sorry, I wasn’t there to see it happen :oops: But my hats off to you, A&A Members! :D
