FAQs about the NEW SITE

Hi there ~

@Simkie was explaining things so well, when I was checking in, I didn’t have anything to add!

Do you have the “latest activity” view selected by chance? At the top of the thread, you can click on Posts or Latest Activity to change how the threads are displayed. There’s also an option within your user account settings to manage that options. The Posts display is the typical format we’re used to on the old site, with newest posts displaying at the end of the thread.

Let us know if that’s the issue!

I have latest activity clicked and all time. I see how I described which is not the same as the last forum.

When in my recent posts I clicked ascending. That changed it so I saw the opposite in there. I changed it back. Can I click that somewhere in a thread?

If you find you have to select “posts” every time you open a thread (it’s not “sticking” and reverts to latest activity instead) then go to user settings > account > display mode and select “posts.”

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

It is working now.

Thank you so much for being so patient with me.

I’m having trouble updating my profile. It’s really old, as in, says I’m a high school student. (I’m 29, and have had this account since I was 16, but I haven’t used it in a WHILE) Every time I try to update it, I’m told “has no permission to change date of birth.” Is there any way to fix this, or should I make a new account?

Thanks!

@hunterjumper06 Welcome back!

Your birthday is actually correct in the system, so you just need to update the information you entered into the Biography portion of your profile.

To do that, click on your username under the green bar near the top of the page, and select “My Profile” from the dropdown menu.

Click “Edit Settings” from your profile page, then scroll down to the Biography field to update what you’d like to share there.

Please let us know if you have any trouble.

See my birth date is the one thing I’m not trying to change. It’s when I try to change anything else on my profile. Like my biography. I can change a punctuation mark on that and it tells me the birth date issue. Very strange. I just meant my biograohy says I am a high school student and it’s super out of date.

@hunterjumper06 I’m not exactly sure what’s happening when you try to edit, so I just deleted what appeared to be the out-of-date info in your profile so that it was blank. Please let me know if you have any trouble repopulating it with current info if you try to do so.

Thanks!

I can’t remember how to multiquote and I can’t find a topic anywhere on here about that. Help?

@OTTBs Click on “Quote” for each of the posts you want to include. In the upper left you should see the “Post Reply” button in orange with a number in parentheses that indicates the number of posts you’re including. Click that button, and the quotes should appear in the post composition field at the bottom of the page and you can reply as normal.

I believe you can only multi quote from a single page of a thread (they won’t carry over to the next page).

Thanks!

Hello,
I’ve been looking around for info on changing my username and the only post I found said to ask Erin. It was from… oh, maybe 10 years ago. So, how does one change their username?
I haven’t looked into my account in six years and it seems I could not spell when I created it… which is moderately horrifying.
Thank you!
