G'day all,
I'm not sure how many are aware of the number of CHOICES this style of forum offers. Awefsome !!!
For those of you who might be new to the forum, (or regulars who have, like me, not been aware of the plethora of gadgets that are on offer),
TRY THIS!!!
To get to the "best" of each forum quickly, open the forum (e.g. "Help and Feedback"), go to the top of the "page" and click on RATING. This then re-orders everything to put all of the 5 star posts at the top, followed by 4 star posts, etc. In this way, you get to read "the best" of a forum first (in the opinion of those who've taken the time to rate the post).
For new readers, this can be a good way to become familiar with the popular threads of Somersoft VERY quickly.
Of course, you will probably want (at some stage ) to get back to "normal". EASY!! Go to the right of the "Rating" heading - there, you'll find a heading like "last post" (sounds like being in the Army!!!...) - click on THAT, and you're back where you started.
And, if you find a really good thread within a forum, then RATE it (give YOUR opinion in stars). And, Yes, you can rate it poorly as well as "good value" - just look for "Rate thread" at the top of the page within a thread. If I was a guru in this, I'd attach pictures to show you ....
But, it IS easier than it sounds.... Try it!!!
I've found these a great way to quickly find the VERY BEST posts in a forum (great for a refresher from time to time) or to get "up to speed" quickly.
There are so many bells and whistles here - takes a while to get one's head around them all. But, just PLAY with the forum - to get what you want.
Have a great day, all.
Regards,
