just looking for some help with the forums

[Arrogant Devil]

This is rather embarrassing to admit, but I've been trying to figure out how to work my way around the forum here. I've never been a big forum poster, so this is still new to me. (Shocking I know. I must be the only one in this day and age that doesn't know how to navigate and make reply's like I probably should.) I'm just wondering if there's a help section that can teach you how to use all the functions of the forum. I'm just trying to make reply's and such, but at the same time, I really don't know much about how to work and navigate a forum except for simple postings.

This is almost against forum rules, i.e. not shit posting (unless this is a clever disguise). Anyways I will reach out and say firstly there is a button at the bottom "HELP" just scroll down. After that just have a go, there are no mistakes in TEST they are all scientific learning's.

 

[mindfart]

Just TEST to see what works ;)

 

[CosmicTrader]

Now that is an interesting question. (Almost unheard of here).
Other than the Quote and Reply buttons under each person's post, I really don't have info to provide.

I'm interested in what the answer(s) is my self.

Friar thug has consulted the Keg of knowledge on this matter. it states that one must take 2 drinks of the royal nectar of beer before clicking any button the holy forums.

as it is written, so it is said.

Which knowledge do you seek?

This is a very correct answer, but your question was way too general, its doomed to get shit-posted.
If you have a specific issue, than you can simply ask. Between all replies there will be a correct answer, you just need to switch on your shit-post-filter.

 

[Crymsan]

Be warned if you switch on the ship-post filter (I have no idea where that is) the forums might seem quiet.

Under each Post you see 3 Buttons "Like" "Quote" "Reply" it's verry important, that you press the Like Button as often as Possible. (Be warned, if you press that Button, it turns to a "unlike" Button which you shall never press, it will make the forum explode)
The Quote Button is a shy one and dosen't work every time.
But the "Reply"-Button is your friend. Klick it and a quote of that Message will be placed in the Answer-textbox at the bottom of the Site.
If you want to quote that Post in an other theard, you can copy and Paste that message to that other Theard.

If you need some training, try this theard: https://testsquadron.com/threads/please-dont-like-my-thread-campaign.4546/
That's the place where the Shitposters hang out. Some of them may know the Forum inside out.

But keep in mind what ever you do, always press that like Button to unlock all the great features of the forum.

The shit-post filter is between your ears and yes, the forums will seem quiet, but it won't be empty. Use the shit-post filter with caution, don't forget to turn it off after you found your answers :wink:

Once i stumbled across the Forum List i bookmrked it so i would not lose it again:

To post pictures, once you have clicked 'Reply' next to the "Post Reply" button there is an "upload a file" button. Click it and a box appears to select the file from your computer. once uploaded it appears below the posting box with "Thumbnail" and "full image" buttons. Click "full image" and it will appear in your post as below:

Cool, huh?

 

[Snakey]

Go around spamming threads with uninteresting, unrelative posts!


Jk, Just hop on and look whats new and piping hot on the forums and engage with the rest of us wierdos!

So say we Owl.

ship-post filter

The shit-post filter

HERESY!

Serious George though . . .
there is no right answer, only beer.

As well as responding to posts, at the bottom of every live thread there is a posting box. In the posting box (and the reply box too) there are various options that can enhance your post. As well as uploading a file like an image, as previously explained you can edit your font in the following ways:

SIZE (using the T with the up and down arrows nex to it)
and
COLOUR using the liquid drop icon.

There are loads of formatting options to
enhance your posts
from alignment, as with this line of text
being in the middle​

through to being able to do otherthings like:

1. lists
2. more lists

1. and some other lists

and you can also

• bullet point nonsense

If you see an icon and you don't know what it does, hover your mouse over it an a description appears. I like the + in the box icon, it lets you do special things such as:

Strike though words text

Spoiler: Click Me For Spoilers!

This is how you do spoiler. Also, the Butler did it!

And you can also make manual quote boxes which is great for missquoting:

Four Score and 7 Draws ago, the great Rugby team Acrington Stanley did become one of the worlds most fearsome of competitive tabletop game champions.

EDIT - Also, there is an edit button at the bottom of every one of your posts. I have edited this one 3 times. Makes for great fun when you post "Who hates the Ammo Glitch?" and get 20 likes, then edit it to "Who hates wearing clothes in public?"

Want to make a signature that shows in the bottom of every post you make?

Sure you do, everyone has one.

Go to the top of whatever page you are on (most likely this one if you are reading this) and at the very top right you will see your name and avatar. Hover over this with your mouse and a menu with loads of options appears.

Choose "signature" and you can put in a few lines of text just like mine! (and everyone elses) Please note, if you click on your name at the top of the page, it will take you to a new page with all of the options in the drop-down that appears, so don't panic if you do that.

Enjoy putting something unique in there to make your posts your own [: )

I was looking more for how to navigate the forums, and the reply posting and how it worked with the "quotes" that I'm seeing we're the two biggest things I was looking for. I didn't see anything on them in the Help section, unless I somehow missed it.

Very helpful postings NaffNaff. That was mostly what I was looking for. Still getting used to the reply button, but it too will soon be mastered
