NEW BOARDS: Tips and Tricks

[Chad]

Post any new cool things you find here so everybody knows about them.

Posting Replies
You'll notice the "Quick Reply" button is gone. However, if you click "Reply" or "Reply With Quote" once, then the quick reply box opens immediately under the post you're replying too. If you click Reply twice, then the full text editor comes up giving you more options.

Multi-Quote Replies
It's easier to quote multiple posts in your reply. Just click the "MultiQuote" button (right next to the "Reply With Quote") on each reply you want to quote. Then click any "Reply With Quote" button to open the editor and add your reply.

Hot Threads
"Hot" threads -- those with more than a certain number of replies or views, or marked by a red envelope next to them. They're also included in one of the sidebar blocks on the left.

Poll Results
I've added a hack that allows the creator of a poll to choose whether the results can be seen while the poll is open or after it's closed. Haven't tested it yet, but should be straightforward when you add a poll.

Collapsing Sections
On the main forum sections, you can collapse forum categories or sidebar elements so they minimize. I believe once you do it the setting sticks until you change it.
