Help using this site
Hi All,

I am having great difficulty finding help on the usage of this site..

For example I would like to 'Subscribe' to certain forums and see ONLY those forums when I come to this site.

And when selecting "New Posts" or "Latest Threads" I want see only the new threads/posts on those 'Subscribed' forums.

Thanks

-Enjoy
Gary

When you subscribe to a forum it will display that in your user cp. the main page will remain as is.

see prev post

As for the 2nd thing, "Latest threads" shows all the latest threads not just for the forums you subscribed to.

Correct me if I am wrong... PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

So am I to understand that this system will NOT allow the user to limit content to their pleasure???

My gawd my BBS in 1988 had the ability to limit the content to each users preferences! If you didn't want to read "X" forum you removed it from your preferences.

I would think hitting "New Posts" or "Latest Threads" in a particular forum that it would return ONLY those "New posts" or "New Threads" in that particular forum!

-Enjoy
Gary

What's the problem? If you subscribe to a particular forum, you
get that folrum linked to in your UserCP, so you can see if there
are new posts in it straight away.

When you are in a forum, there is a link called "forum tools".
Clicking that will expose a couple of options. One of which is "Subscribe to forum".

Similarly, within a thread itself, "thread tool" provides similar options.
When you click on User CP,
your subscribed forums and threads will be listed there..

Hope that helps.
