Forum Features

[Havoc]

This forum has a number of features that the older proboards forum did not. Here are a few of the more interesting ones:

1) Spoiler Tags: You can mark any text as a spoiler by using tags. For example [spoiler]text will show up as text
2) Reputation system: The reputation system here is somewhat different from the proboards one. For details, visit this thread (http://www.srythforum.com/showthread.php?t=73).

3) RSS feed automation: In plain language, all of srythadventurer's updates on twitter (http://twitter.com/srythadventurer) will automatically show up as new threads in this subforum (http://www.srythforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=21).

4) Tables: The table system in this current forum is different from the previous one. For instructions visit this thread (http://www.srythforum.com/showthread.php?p=89#post89).

5) Badges: You can set your AG membership status via your User CP. The badge under your Username and Title will change appropriately.

6) Many many more. For details, have a read through the forum FAQs (http://www.srythforum.com/faq.php)

Either this is a new addition or I completely overlooked it when I first set up my profile.

Under "User CP" then "Profile" then "Edit your Details" there are options to list the name of your primary character and list his/her profile link.

Yeah, I noticed that. It wasn't there before. Havoc, consider yourself repped for that. And if you didn't to that, the repp is because of how close Magical is to 100 in AS&P. (if the latter is true, please say who did it and I will repp them too.)

[Elrond]

Does the forum have "Last 10 posts" feature like the old one? That was a very helpful feature!

[thingirl]

No, not that I know of.

[Joddelle]

Try the "New Posts (http://srythforum.com/search.php?do=getnew)" link in the center of the main navigation bar. Or "Today's Posts (http://srythforum.com/search.php?do=getdaily)", the first option in "Quick Links"

[thingirl]

I knew about that, but sometimes I can't remember what thread something I already looked at was in. I would have told him, but...

[Elrond]

Thanks Joddelle. That is exactly what I was looking for. Repped!

yes it's been there for a while.

Thanks for the Rep Elrond, glad I could help and enjoy the feature.

Oh, and zmflavius - you just replied to a post that's over two months old :D

[thingirl]

Yes, there's this thing called a time stamp. Elrond knows ALL about that, doesn't he ;). Look over the person's avatar and it will show you the date and time of the post.

[zmflavius]

darn...I was reading it as 8/9/09 for some reason.

[thingirl]

Everyone reads stuff wrong, Zm.

Ninja'd..... :)

It's alright ZM, been there done that myself and more than once.

[Elrond]

:confused: I guess I do! Thingirl's double posts taught me all about it :rolleyes:

[thingirl]

Even though by my deffenition of "Less than 10 minutes go between posts" doesn't cover sevral hours between posts.

[Oldschool]

This is a known forum feature however I don't know how many members have actually used it much less enabled it. I haven't enabled it and just recently used it when looking for posts by a user by clicking their name in a post.

You have an option under "Edit Your Details" to enter your own home page. To access these on other members either view their contact info when viewing their public profile. Also if the member has it enabled you can click on their name in any post by them and a drop down will open with that choice.
