This is new to us to at the moment so here are things we realise/notice as we go along!
1) HOW DO YOU KNOW IF POSTS ARE NEW?
new posts since you last logged in have a blue circle in the folder on the left ..those not added to are grey ALSO in forum stats you'll see in the top bar a sentence saying 'View the 10 most recent posts of this forum'. If you click on the section which is underlined, it takes you to the most recent last 10 posts...
2) TO GO BACK,
go to the top of the blue banner and it will tell you where you are..you can click on that to go where you want (eg back to Message Board)

3) POSTING PICTURES:-
Go to 'photobucket' and get ans account (its free). Upload your picture. Then, when its been uploaded, right click on the IMG code (uderneath the picture). Paste that IMG code on your post here...it will look a bit like this (bearing in mind I have had to change it a bit so you dont get a picture!) then when you have posted your reply hey presto..a piccie will appear!!. To make the picture smaller, put th_ after the last / - so on the above code it would read ...ceej10000/th_2008... 4) TO GIVE YOURSELF AN AVATAR
on the left under your name, go to modify profile and either chose one of the forum avatars, or paste your own using the DIRECT LINK code (not the IMG as you do with pictures) into the avatar URL box5) DONT WANT TO SEE ANYONE ELSES SIGNATURE PICTURES?
(at the bottom of their posts) or their avatars? Go to modify Profile and scroll down to the boxes that ask if you want to see them - you can turn them off or on...

Adding to Ceej's first post regarding new posts, in forum stats you'll see in the top bar a sentence saying 'View the 10 most recent posts of this forum'. If you click on the section which is underlined, it takes you to the most recent last 10 posts...And to the mods, you can change the amount of posts to be viewed in that link too.

I didn't manage to get an avatar. Or did I?
Nope. Didn't. (...) Right, I have been twice in "mofify profile" and twice have I added an avatar of my choice, but still... I am avatarless. ;D

OK - try pasting the 'direct link' from photobucket rather than the 'IMG' - it worked for me...

on the main topic page, if you click at the topic showing on the right, you will go to the last page of that topic...god this is hard to explain...
so eg in Non Horsey Chat, 'in your mind right now' may be showing on thne right because it has the most recent post. If you click on 'in your mind right now' on the right, ratehr than clicking Non Horsey chat and then iymrn, you will go to the last page automatically.
I have NO IDEA whetehr anyone with understand that drivel...let me know!

hmmm, what you may have done is type your text then clicked colour without hightlighting all the text so the colour brackets are all at the end of the text (they wont show up sop I cant show you but would say something like when it should say whatever you want to say the text needs to be in between the two sets of brackets soif you highlight all your words and THEN click a colour it should work...like so
hope that makes sense

How do you get the "quote" in a box so the person you are replying to knows WHAT you are replying to...............If you see what I mean.

You have to reduce the size in photobucket before you copy the IMG code by editing your pic. Once you have used the pic it won't change the IMG code so you have to do it before using the pic.
