How To FAQ

[Virginiá]

Probably stupid questions but I'm new here.  How to multi-quote so I dont have to make 10 posts to reply to 10 different dudes in 1 thread? 
How to make it so when I post in a thread, my computer stays IN THAT THREAD, and doesn't kick me out to the main page full of thread lists?
     How to set personal settings such as Time Zone, & disabling personal messaging as I can do in many other forum sites?  Thanks.

If you enable quick reply, you can just hit the quote button on the same page and it'll add it to the quick reply box at the bottom instead of opening a new page. If you're trying to reply to posts on different pages, then there is no easier way.

I was trying to do it on the same page.   SO again thanks for your reply, but how do I do this?  When I hit quote, it just opens a quote page right away.  How do I multi quote?

Enable the quick reply box on the profile settings page I linked you to:

https://talkelections.org/FORUM/index.php?action=profile;sa=theme

It's near the bottom: "Use quick reply on topic display:"

Set to "show, on by default". From then on every time you click the quote button, it will put the quote into that box. If you only want that to happen sometimes, set it to "show, off by default" and just expand the quick reply whenever you want to mass quote people.

Awesome!  Any ideas for my other questions?  Thanks again buddy.

- PM blocking

Well, you can block certain users from sending you PMs, but you can't disable it entirely:

Maybe disabling PMs altogether is an option worth having. I'm not sure. Maybe worth a poll in FC, although I'm a supporter of Atlasia so I wouldn't want to do anything that would harm their game either.

- Return to thread after posting

Check "Return to topics after posting by default.", click "Change profile"

I take it you probably haven't explored the options too much. I know it can be kind of confusing.. A lot of this forum's features were added after-the-fact by Dave and I, and in an ad hoc manner, so it's not neatly organized or anything. You may want to check these out and just scan the page to see if it's anything you might use:

Welcome to the forum btw!
