Forum Tips & Tricks

[MadPick]

Any way to change the number of posts per page? The default makes for a lot of page changing, and I can't speak for everybody, but my internet is fast enough to load 100 posts or whatever at once.

Good question. Let's see what massivedesign has to say about that.

Also, the clock was an hour off until this weekend.

Every time you set you clocks one way or another, you need to go here and turn Daylight Savings on or off: ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=personal

I have a question.
I just bought a new computer with Win. 7. When I login, I check the box to remember me, but for some reason I still need to type in my name each time. The site doesn't "remember me".

Any Ideas?

Aha!

There's zero chance I'll remember this in six months.

It's your browser set to not remember usernames etc. Download Chrome, install Chrome, enjoy Chrome.

Somebody always posts a reminder thread, usually in the "Site Suggestions" forum. Use "view unread posts" and you'll see it.

...Use "view unread posts," which is in the upper right corner of the full site (computer). On the mobile (phone) site, tap the magnifying glass in the upper right corner and then "view unread posts." This will give you a listing of all threads that you haven't read, regardless of which sub-forum they're in. This way you don't need to browse one sub-forum at a time...

OCD sufferers beware: If you expect to see posts listed in some sort of order (any sort of order), your head will definitely explode if you click on "view unread posts."

Just FYI.

"search" function doesn't always work and you need 3 or more letters



"spammers" occasionally show and quickly canned

They appear with the newest at the top . . . right? Do you see something different?

True. The search function sucks. Occasionally I use it, but most of the time I use Google . . . which is another good tip.

To search: Go to your favorite search engine (Bing, Google, Yahoo, etc.). Type in your search criteria and add "site:waguns.org" to the end of it.

For example, if I want to find a post that I made about an SVT-40, then I would go to Google and type:

Code:

madpick svt40 site:waguns.org

Hit Enter and BAM, it will pop up with the WaGuns threads that match the search criteria.

Upon closer inspection I see they are in chronological order with the newest at the top. I prowl only a handful of sub-forums on any kind of regular basis, so it just looked like chaos when last I tried the "view unread posts" view.

If you forget a guy's name call him Steve or Sergey. 50% chance that's it.

Good tip! See folks, that's what this thread is all about!

If it's a Mod that you are talking about, use "Jackwipe", or "That Asshole Mod"....they'll know who you mean.


j/k

Our Mods are excellent guys and do a great job!

[RENCORP]

" Cake Eater " or " Toilet designer " will get you one mod out of the many Steve's floating around.
