Tips 8 years, 10 months agoA) click on the Quote button to quote the whole post, OR B) select the text you want to quote, and click on the Quote button.

Ruh roh, maybe this is only possible when posting in a Group Forum topic?!

PopeBeanie started the topic "Bug or feature?", and other Minor/Arcane Issues in the forum
Tips 8 years, 11 months agoJust fyi stuff here that most users won’t find interesting. I do not find them important enough to bother Umar with.
- Clicking the top menu option “Site-wide activity” does not display “updates” (short, user-spontaneous posts); but they DO appear on the AZ Home page.
- Sometimes the only place I can Favorite or Unfavorite a post is via the…

PopeBeanie started the topic Tips for Group Creation and Management in the forum

- Edits/Merges – Posts can be kept up to date, and/or moved to a different topic…

PopeBeanie started the topic Adding Photos, Videos, and Other File Links to a Post in the forum
Tips 10 years, 9 months agoThe following is in extra long detail for beginners, but once you get the hang of it, it’s only a ten to thirty second task.
PHOTOS & GRAPHICS
- First, know where your photo or graphic file is. Its source can be your device/computer, or from online via a link to Google Drive, OneDrive, Flikr, a file previously uploaded to Atheist Zone, etc.

SteveInCO replied to the topic Making the @ symbol work in your post in the forum
Tips 10 years, 9 months agoI’m glad I made both of my names the same then.
If one gets mentioned a lot AND manages to read almost everything new anyway, the e-mails are pointless and can be shut off by clicking on your name in the upper right and going to settings->email. (However, I don’t get any of the other emails I left enabled, either.)

PopeBeanie started the topic Searching AtheistZone (not ThinkAtheist) in the forum
Tips 10 years, 10 months agoThe most comprehensive search available at the moment here on AZ is the Forums Search, which searches both the General Forums and the Group Forums. The magnifying glass icon in the upper right next to your avatar doesn’t work, although I think it did at one time. (I’ll pass this on to @rebel.)

PopeBeanie started the topic defunct: Links to ThinkAtheist (archive) in the forum
Tips 10 years, 10 months agoNo TA content exists any more. Dunno why I’m still keeping this topic alive. It’s difficult to just let its history die completely.
