Just a quick update for a few more features added to the forum.
At the top of each page, under the links for Unread and Recent posts, you'll find a summary of your current PMs (if you have personal messages). You can go to your profile under the "Personal Messages Option" and tick the "Show a popup when you receive new messages?" to enable a popup window when you receive a PM. Make sure your browser settings allow popup windows for this website if you choose that feature.
The second feature added is a by-board RSS feed. In the main Index view, you'll see small RSS icons
to the right of the forum name -- the RSS icons link to URLs to produce a RSS2.0 feed of the last 20 posts in a particular forum. If you have a favorite forum or two, you can add those URLs to your newsreader to keep informed of recent posts. I still like the index.php?action=recent to see everything posted since I last looked.
Third, you might have noticed a Quick Reply box at the end of a thread. You can use it to send a (strangely enough) quick reply to the last post on the thread. You can use BBcode in the post
but there's not a list of icons to help you remember
So, enjoy the new features...
Best regards,
Ken
