Tips on using the board

I thought a thread of this kind might help out our new members. If anyone has a question, just ask away.

When you're writing a post, you can make the html tags in it visible by pressing the 'html' button (the rightmost one above the reply box). This is particularly helpful if you want to put a "reply" quote at the start of your post. When you press the "reply" button immediately below a post you want to respond to, the board brings up a box with the post's text in a blockquote (at the bottom of the box). If you bring up the html, you can place your own text after the quote by placing it after the /blockquote instruction.

I sometimes write my posts in Word and then transfer them across. This can result in unwanted formatting effects, so when I do this, I switch to html format and cut out the chaff I don't want.

    • Have you tried typing CTRL-F5 to reload the page without the cache?

    • I didn't, but the images have been back for a few days now. I'm hoping they stick around this time.

  • Is anyone else seeing nothing under "Latest Activity" on the home page? I've never had that happen before.

    • Now they're showing up. Weird.

    • Now they're gone again.

    • "Latest Activity" was gone for me earlier, and It's gone for me now.

      Good to know it's not just me.

      Makes it more difficult to use the board effectively, though.

    • Oh, back now (as soon as I posted).

  • When posting a cover image to the Cover a Day thread, we sometimes think that the posting failed. What I do is go to the Home Page and reload it. If the post was successful you will see it there and avoid posting it twice.
