Nifty board features!
« on: November 28, 2008, 04:14:51 pm »
Some of you may or may not be aware of some of the nifty features our boards have that other boards, well, don't. x3 Aside from all the standard forum features, we have some that are super duper helpful and awesome, which I will introduce you to now!

[center:nlbibk76]BOOKMARKS[/center:nlbibk76]
First, I will introduce my favorite, the Bookmark.

This feature allows you to bookmark threads, which it saves into your User Control Panel (UCP). It's very handy and saves them in the order of which thread was recently replied to. Bookmark your threads, and you will never lose track of them!

At the top of any thread, you will find a link titled "Bookmark Topic", like so:



Click that, and it will save the topic to the UCP, which you can access by following these steps.

Click the UCP link at the top of the forum, shown here:



Once you've done that, click the Manage Bookmarks link on the left:



Voila! From there, you'll see a list of all your bookmarked topics! If you want to clear a topic from your bookmarks, just click the checkbox next to the topic, scroll to the bottom, and click "remove marked bookmarks". And that's about it! Neat, huh?

[center:nlbibk76]DRAFTS[/center:nlbibk76]
Next are drafts, which are also very helpful. This feature allows you to save posts you are working on, which it also saves into the UCP.

At the bottom of your post, right next to the "submit" button, you will find a "save" button, like so:



Click that, and it will save your post! To access it, go to the UCP:



Then you will find a link on the left titled "Manage Drafts":



Click on that, and you can choose to continue working on your saved draft. You will get two options: one is "Load Draft" and the other is "View/Edit" draft. I prefer to select "Load Draft". If you click that, it will load your draft right into the posting area of the thread so you can continue working on it there and see the previous posts, like usual. If you just select "View/Edit" draft, you will be able to work on your post--but it won't put it into the posting area so you won't be able to see the previous posts. xP

[center:nlbibk76]BUMPING[/center:nlbibk76]
Last but not least is the Bump! This feature allows you to bump your topics back up to the top of the forum, but you can only do it to your own topics and only sparingly.

The link for bumping, like the bookmarks, is at the top of the thread:



Click that, and it'll bump the topic to the top. :3 This is handy if you have updated, say, a character profile or something.

Well, that's about it! Hope this will help you get the most out of this forum! <3
