    Forum features - "test" thread for trying out features of the Forum

    Honestly I don't know why it takes months and months for newbies to learn to use forum features like the quote feature. It is definitely vexing to have to watch the debacle month after month, and then here comes another bunch who can't seem to get it.

    I think a 'Test forum' would be nice to give people the chance to learn the more, shall we say, arcane features of the forum.

    Let's keep this thread as the "test" thread for any/all members who want to try out different features. The thread title is self explanatory, so we'll leave it. I highlight that this thread is not to be used as a vehicle to critique members, but merely for members to try out different features, and raise questions about using certain features (such as "multi-quote"). We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the idea Sunshine! Good work.

    Great idea! I could use help with embedding graphs rather than providing the links.
    And it would be great if that little bug with the "ignore" feature could be resolved, so we can actually ignore everyone we want, except for the real moderators, of course!

    Admin staff are currently looking at the ignore function, and trying to remedy it.

    Thanks!
    Maybe when it's fixed, I won't have to use it anymore!
