The Official MLP Help !!! Thread ....

[BOBBO]

Search .... The MLP search engine while not perfect is a very good tool to find topics that have already been discussed on the forum !!! The MLP search function does not work with 3 letter words ! I know this is a bother especially when searching something like a PAF ! But if you keep your terms to 4 letter words and up you'll find lots of returns ! Most search results will be in chronological order ! So a thread you may be looking for might be very relevant to the search you typed it may be far back in the results due to that fact it was posted long ago !! SEARCH away MLP !!

Bobbo, I have a couple of questions as I'm a newbie to forumland.

I'm a really slow composer when it comes to starting a thread or making a reply, a bit AR when it comes to what I want to say, don't want to upset anyone!! So it seems you get logged off after a time of no activity, any way to stop this or is it a case of working offline and cut & paste?

Also are the smilies in reply to thread drag and drop or is there some voodoo I must perform?? Of course these things are not critical to my MLP experience, just wondering.

Cheers, Rick

MLP now has Social groups !!! These groups can be started by members who are interested in a particular subject !! These rooms can be made public, meaning open to all .. or can be made as invitation only rooms , So you can just invite your friends to join in your discussions !!! You can find acess to these rooms in the Quick Links at the top right side of the MLP window !!!

VIP members are people who contribute greatly to the forum in a positive way !!! If anyone is looking to become a VIP .... Being a pleasant contributing member is the way to start !!!!!!!

Hi! Is there a way I could view the replies to the threads I participated in?

Something like new posts, but just the threads I started (or replied to).

Thanks.

Hey...

You need to adjust your forum preferences so that you SUBSCRIBE to a thread !!! That way everytime someone posts something new in it ! It will be highlighted for you !!! ...... Your preferences are in your User CP !!!

[siore]

So that's what subscriptions are for.. Got it! Thanks BOBBO!

[BOBBO]

If you have any questions , Please post them here so I can answer them once and then let others benefit from those answers !


Posting pictures on MLP .. In order to post pics on MLP you should use a photo hosting site such as Photobucket.com or Shutterfly.com , Store your pictures in albums on those sites and when your ready to post them just copy the web address or URL of the photo using control C , Then in the reply window click the yellow box with the mountain in it , Backspace the http/ away and then hit control V to paste the web URL into the grey box provided , Click OK after the image URL is visible in the box , Then your image is in your post ! When you submit the post the pic will be in it !!

I've been getting alot of messages that people don't know how to post pictures , So i figured I'd repost by way of quote the original instructions !!!

Ignore feature ... Hey MLP'ers , Did you know our beloved site has an ignore feature ? If there is a particular member who's posts or actions you find annoying or objectionable , Just click on your user CP located at the top left of the web page , You'll find a control toward the bottom left in your user CP to edit your ignore list ! Just add the members name your looking to ignore and click add to the list ! You will no longer see their posts on the forum nor will they be able to send you private messages !!!
