During a recent topic about Passionford getting busier and harder to use due to the amount of time it takes to lose a new post to page 2, it became aparent that many of our most powerfull features arent being utilised by most members at all

Let me outline a few, in case you didnt know they existed:

On teh index page: ( https://passionford.com/forum/index.php )
You will find these:


You will see there are:
1) View the posts since your last visit
2) View your own posts
3) View only the unanswered posts
4) View only recent topics

All pretty self explanatory folks, and very powerfull when we are busy and shifting a page in 17mins so go and enjoy em.


It was also suggested we could put a link to teh different forums in GD so you dont have to navigate the forums via the index page, well, we already have one on every page, its here look:



Someone asked for a "FAQ" section for general how to use a forum information, and again, we already have this:



We were asked for a topic explaining how to use Photobucket to upload siggys, and again, we have one here:https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19611

There are a few other similar topics to teh aboive in our FAQ furum here:


Any suggestions of more posts to put in FAQ forum , feel free to give me the links and if their suitable i will move them

I hope this topic helps you to enjoy your time on PassionFord more as we are getting busier by the day, now processing 30+new members every 24 hours

 

very useful reminders here Stu

 

only just noticed a few of those lol

 

Also:
If you want to recieve topic reply E-mails, you have to tick one of 2 boxes depending on how your replying.

1) Fast reply box:



2) Normal reply box:


You can check its current state here:


Be aware, that once you have followed the mail link, or replied again, your subscription is lost if you dont check the box again

You will also notice that ive used larger pictures in this post, this is to highlight our newest feature to those who are unaware of it: Automatic picture resizing. If you post a pic bigger than 640 wide now, the forum will resize it and thumbnail it. Click them to see

 

good point!!

 

View new posts since last visit it my all time fave

 

Amazing the things you never notice.
Most of those above, I've thought would be a good idea....
....and fook me, they already exist
Oh, and typing here at home on dial-up, the pic resizing thingummy has certainly speeded things up

 

AFPMSL!!!
that link to "view your posts"
look at the last word in the link

https://passionford.com/forum/search...h_id=egosearch

egosearch!
classic!

 

cheers stu i never noticed most of them lol

 

piccys are the same filesize tho matey

 

 

Good additions

 

very good Stu

 

 

 

cheers very helpful lads

 

Christian - I noticed and pointed out the "egosearch" bit ages ago but no fooker paid me any heed

 

was gonna point that out

 

good stuff - didnt use half of those features!

 

its the only buttons I ever use

 

automatic picture resizing is a great ideal

Gav

 

for Mondays crew

 

 

Must admit couldnt be botherd to read all of it but aslong ad its about ford i dont care how hard it is to use.

 

for Tuesday

 

I don't know if this has been suggested but how about only displaying peoples signatures once per page? Might speed up the server a bit and would make long pages of 1 line replys a lot easier to read.

Keep up the good work,

 

We did try that once and everyone kicked off moaning

 

 

as i know most peeps dont use these great features

 

as above

 

That is a good idea - Maybe a user defined option !!!

 

Or to be able to turn off sigs altogether - again user defined in profile.

 

 

 

Well done stu

As always = Super cossie forum on the net !!

 

 

Thank you Stu your a gentleman. . .
