Xen Foro tips and tricks

[amoret]

beside the place where you can watch or unwatch a forum on the top right had side of the page, there is a button that says "ignore forum". I think. Might want to get a second opinion here.

Hi Amoret--there is a Forums You Ignore button on top of the page--blue bar--right next to your User Info box... Click on it and select the forums you want to ignore.

Thanks, but I'm still missing it. When I go to Forums You Ignore, all I get is "You are not ignoring any threads." If I try using the navigation buttons, all I can do is open the forum, I don't see where to choose to ignore it. Oh well, I'll keep playing.

Near the top of each and every Forum and Thread are the following Options on the far right side of the "Title Bar" :

Forums : Watch Forum Ignore Forum Threads: Watch Thread Ignore Thread


Hope this helps . . .

Thanks - you must have posted that while I was replying to Katya and Rat2chat2.

When I open any forum, amoret, the option is there, right under Post New Thread.

I don't think they would show up there until you actually "ignore" a forum. Then you can manage them and take them off the list if you choose to. Methinks. I may not be understanding this right. But was just tryin' to help.

Folks please test your image drag and drop skills in the Sandbox. Thanks!

Image drag and drop just worked for me in FF! I thought it was only Chrome.
Now...it's slick. Lemme try it again:

I'm so glad! I don't like Chrome at all!

Like the image drop, (if it works), in FF, just a test. And yes this was in my house in Florida.

Yuck!!!

I just tried drag and drop on another thread using Firefox. I'm so happy it works!

 

[Train2]

I've done both.
Tab to tab is a little more delicate - you can "miss" and it'll load the original source page for the image instead of dragging it. But you can also drag an image from a FOLDER on your computer into a post. That's cool, too...

from tab to tab, atty? or window to window?

When I go to Forums You Ignore, all I get is "You are not ignoring any threads."

Sorry Amoret! I wasn't clear in my answer... To ignore (or watch) any forum, you have to actually go that forum and choose the ignore (or watch) option there. Only then will those forums (fora? ) be listed on your Ignored (or watched) list... Sorry.

You can "unignore" a forum directly from your list, though.

When I open any forum, amoret, the option is there, right under Post New Thread.

Just as my learned almost namesake so brilliantly noted above.

And Uncle before her...

Next time I'll read back...

(stolen, dragged and dropped from Rat's post--bwahahaha)

Sorry Sonic.

Bear in mind, the way FF encodes images during the drag and drop process, it may not work and you'll get an "image too large" error, even if the image isn't too big.

Window to window, Tibs.

thanks, atty!

yup! i wasn't delicate enough

i think 'copy image' and then 'paste' will be sufficiently easy for me!

Sorry, goofed on the SEARCH post thing, didnt know how else to report the issue.

I have since found out that the SEARCH function is being worked on.

I would like to make a suggestion, and maybe it already exists and I am just not aware of it.

If there could be a STICKY post somewhere that included 2 lists:

1. List of known and confirmed bugs/issues that have been validated and are on the List to be addressed.
2. List of features/add-ons/upgrades (like the BBCode Table) that have been approved and are on the list to be done at some future time.

I would gladly check this list if it existed, before wasting everyone's bandwidth reporting stuff that has already been addressed. Things are being reported and discussed in so many places/threads right now that I cannot possibly keep up with all of it.

How do you think WE feel?

The list is changing so rapidly as we work on things, that as soon as I posted the list, it would have to be changed.

It's OK to post what you find. If we're aware of it, we'll say so.

Y'all have done a great job with the changeover and with responding to all of the questions/issues.

OH MY EYES!! Can we get at least one dark forum skin? Seriously..........I have to limit my use of the forum because I'm blinded by this stark, white screen.
