New forum, new software, do you have any questions?
« on: 30 June 2011, 11:52:16 AM »
If you have any questions about the operation of the forum, such as how do quote other people in posts, how to post pictures, how to use hyperlinks, or anything else about the functional operation of the software then please post your question here so that we can answer it for you.

Please bear in mind, this is a new forum and new software which means that it is a learning process for all of us, even the forum facilitators!  We only have about five days headstart, so with that in mind it may be that you have discovered something useful, such as skipping to the newest unread message in a post or something else that you think others may be interested to know.

So, questions or recommendations on forum software function, post them here! 8)

Whoops :-[. For some reason the index page still shows a login prompt even when I am logged in. This is displayed in preference to the unread posts and new replies links, although they appear on other pages.

I will try deleting the cookies to see if that sorts things out.

Hi Mods - is there a breakdown somewhere how the scoring/ranking system etc works? E.g. Saabisti, number and type of badges,  the thanks system, etc?

Doesn't seem to translate directly from another place...   :)

Thanks phoenix!  And the Swedish Air Force/Griffin emblems? (I presume the "thanks" function is instead of specifically saying it in a post.)

PS - What happened to Arc trim level? My previous 9-3 was an Arc. Maybe 10,000 posts....

u/sgould - that's me trying to put in a username that notifies the person they're mentioned in my post. I understand it's u/[username] so please correct me if mistaken. I'm not all that skilled at these things! Sorry to bother!
