Default Little Known yet very Powerfull Features of PassionFord...

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 above 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

I have bookmarked the "Posts since last visit" link, and that's the only thing I use nowadays.

Then, check my posts just in case I missed a reply

It would be nice if the little "preview" pannel appearing when the mouse hoovers over the title of a thread and that works when browsing a whole section also works in the "posts since last visit"....

Please....

But apart from that
