An Icon Tutorial: Using the new boards


flagger

Recommended Posts

Ok folks. I thought I would give you a quick tutorial on what some of the new icons mean on the vB boards.

 

new_posts.gif means that there have been new posts in that thread since you last read it. The thread title will also appear in bold.

 

If you have posted in a thread, you will see thread_you_posted_in.gif on the left hand side of the thread or you will see thread_you_posted_in_2.gif on the right hand side next to the column for last post.

 

Clicking on firstnewpost.gif on the left hand side of the threads will take you to the first new post since you last read the thread.

 

Clicking on lastpost.gif next to the posters name in the last post column will take you to the very last post of the thread.

 

And finally, for those of you on dial-up, attachment.gif indicates that there are attachments in the thread and you can avoid if you need.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Flagger, first i will thank you as I see you have answered a lot of questions since and including yesterday. Always interesting to see what change does to us.

Question: How do I reduce my pic's, I know how to upload them but get the message file is to large, thanx for any help.

Flagger, thanx for the tip, I will get it eventually. I just noticed my picture link was not a hyperlink (I just brought everything over from old board) and figured out how to fix that, so I guess I am not a total dummy, again thank you.

 

PS:.........I LOVE YOUR WINKING DOG!

Flagger, thanks so very much. This is a big help!:D I've been wondering how to tell if I'd read or posted on a thread. Knowing this sure makes the new board more "user friendly."

I meant for that to read that that is what the paperclip means so if you ARE on dial-up, you will know that there are attachments in that thread. But yes you are correct, it appears no matter what browser or connection you use.
