rzkjr1 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Can someone explain to me how to start a topic under the title I've seen for General Discussions? I've been unsuccessful in trying to start one many times in the past with the way it was previously discussed. Quote
TBG 150 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Just click the box 'Start new topic'. If you are using a phone, the layout might be different. A phone person will need to answer that one. Quote

A phone person will need to answer that one. I'm using a desktop computer. I don't see a 'Start new topic' anywhere. Let me look harder. I remember someone explaining it to me several months ago. I just gave up at the time, because I wasn't able to find it. I'll keep this information this time, so I can eventually find it, I hope. Quote
moos54 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 I have a question, how did you create this thread? it's exactly the same thing in the end Quote

I just saw Random Discussion under Select Forum. I was only asking because someone several months ago told me to just follow the topics and I usually do. I was just looking for the General Discussion to try to keep it with what I've seen in most of the forum. Quote

General Discussion is not a topic. It's more like a board, or a Full-on Forum. "Random Discussion" is one of it's features: a sub-forum. Topics can be created within a sub-forum using the "Start New Topic" button. It's one of those nested things like web page names like "Forum>Bert&Ernie's House>/hilarious perversions>basement/unsafeforwork/disgusting." Any other questions or problems message me and I'll try to help or get you someone who can. I don't understand a bunch of this forum stuff either, but StnCld owes me a few favors for my contributions to the topic "Naked Canadian Girls in the Snow". 1 1 Quote

I've copied this to my Camcaps notes, so I can try and figure it out better the next time. 1 Quote
TBG 150 Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 You'll get it. If I can do it, anyone can. I'm almost a total tech idiot. 1 Quote

I'm sure I will this time from the notes I've taken. I'm a perfectionist on certain things like when I'm typing most of the time, although I know I'm really not that good at it. Quote

I'm a perfectionist on certain things like when I'm typing most of the time, although I know I'm really not that good at it. This set-up can be confusing. For learners who are graphically oriented (meaning they prefer to SEE things like tits and ass), I have added a graphic explanation. The underlined blue is the FORUM NAME. Only god-like powers (only the Admin and Forum Admin) can alter these. The sub-forum is highlighted in yellow. A member can add a topic to these. The black circle is where you click to create a topic. Hope this helps. I fumble around with this sort of stuff myself. 1 Quote
TBG 150 Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Hell! I've been here practically since the forum's inception and I'm still trying to figure it all out. Quote
