FORUM UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE!

Post by Steve Simmons » Mon Jan 14, 2013 7:28 pm

The forum may look a bit strange for a few days. This is because I am working out some bugs that are preventing a handful of people from registering and using it. The problem was in a large batch of code which links styling between the forum and the main TABC web site. I removed the problem (I hope) but there is a bit of work still left to make things look normal again.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Steve,

I want to remove my Swap Meet listing as the parts have been sold. How?

Hi Peter, the best thing to do is to click the "Edit" button on your post and put "SOLD" in the title. The edit button is in the lower right corner of your post.

Steve, I'd like the unread post in a thread to appear at the top of the thread, is there a way to do that?

There are two ways to go about this:

1. On any thread with new, unread posts, there will be a little orange icon before the title. Clicking this will take you directly to the first unread post of the discussion.

2. You can change the way posts are sorted by either using the sorting options at the bottom of the discussion thread, or change them permanently by going to the User Control Panel, then navigate to Board Preferences-->Edit Display Options.

Personally I like the first option because the first new post is automatically brought up. Using the sorting option you may still have to scroll a little bit on your own. But either works nicely.

Steve...is there a way to delete this topic? It's confusing seeing at the top every time I log in.

You're right, it shouldn't be a sticky topic anymore. Done!
