How do delete PMs?

When you open the message, you’ll see your own user name among the participants. There’s a little x. Hit the x.

I found that clicking on the Sean Hannity pic took me to all the threads.

When I’ve used the blockquote function it leaves the word “blockquote” in the quote. Is that the way it’s supposed to be?

Ignore function

Ignore function

The only thing you can ignore is notifications.

I found it (which I bet others have and may have posted), but…

Click your Avatar circle in the top right corner, then…

Preferences (the small gear)

Notifications

Users

Just start typing names.

One ignore button, as stated, not a complete ignore.

I think you just post the link: (also, this is how you post pictures?)

ToT · 2018-05-02T01:20:42.192Z

lol - thanks! I could have sworn I gave that a go but I guess not.

WuWei · 2018-05-02T02:51:22.065Z

Good tip. I like that.

You don’t have to post the link to pictures.

Find the picture you want
Right click to open the context menu
“Copy Image”
Go to your post
“Paste”

Someone can check me on this but I THINK it posts a local copy of the image instead of “hot linking” to the picture. (Which, in a rare case, “hot linking” could cause a problem if the source site changes the image but keeps the same link.)

Why does it not pick up who you’re quoting sometimes. Is it a time thing?

WuWei · 2018-05-02T14:17:13.690Z

Let’s see.

Switch to dark theme:

The Dark theme is beautiful

sure.

go to Preferences->Interface->Theme

i always try to use dark themes, they are easier for the eyes…

The dark theme is as startling as the default. It would be nice to have a compromise between the two.

Pink, gray, beige. Meh. The internet can look however you want it to without having to know a thing about coding.

Sometimes you want to break down quote into sections to address various points. It works rather simply in the old forum, and most other forum software by simply using [quote] and [/quote] to enclosed the various sections. Not so simple as I have discovered. But you can break a quote into sections, just not as easily.

The key is the opening [quote] tag. By itself, it does not seem to do anything. So it needs all of the information to work properly. I will use the opening post as an example.

The original, works fine. What happens then if I try to break it up for using form [quote][/quote] tags? Junk!

So there seems to be only one way you can accomplish the task of breaking down a quote into multiple parts.

Highlight each part of the original post and click “quote” as needed.

Works. Not ideal, but it works.

In these really long threads, how can I jump either to the first post, or the last post?

I’ve just been scrolling up or down, but the scrolling only moves about 12 posts at a time, which makes it insane when you are at post 450, and you are trying to get to post 1, or post 800.
