I don't use twitter much so I went to look. All you do is click the last button under the tweet which is 3 dots, select the option to copy the tweet link and post in in here. The forum will change the link to the tweet on it's own.

Hi there, I apologise for the inconvenience. Unfortunately I have been having problems with the pictures showing up the last few times I wanted to finish it,

Um.. Guess this might be a good place to ask this but what on earth does "zagadoo" mean???

I just saw it added one day next to the like button.

English might be my first language but I've never heard the word. I'm guessing is May an Americanism?

@TreelifeCreation It's Simlish for 'disagree', they changed that so it would sound less harsh.

Thank you, it makes sense now. & thank you for the quick response that was fast.

Personally I think they just should have stuck to disagree but oh well.

thanks for that tutorial, I knew everything apart from the how to change colour when commenting

@06Bon06 Hai hai! I wanted to say that this is an awesome thread and I caught a minor error in the code for images in this post. There's an extra ] in the code. o:

Hello, I was looking at this post because I'm trying to post a picture in a thread. One odd thing is where I type my reply the only controls I see above the box are to add smilies and the plumbob to go to my account. I don't see any of the advanced controls you have in your screenshots of how to leave comments. Is there an option I need to enable to enable advanced editing of my posts?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there

That would be because you are a new member. Please refer to the member or new member thread I link in the very first post here ^^

Oh man, leave it to me to skip the basic parts of the post. Thanks for your help!

Thank you! I was getting a little lost on how things works ;P

Very Helpful Thank you :)

So, @06Bon06 I have a couple of suggestions of things you can add to the tutorial.

The cause of this all is that I, not unfrequently, see people powerposting - that is posting multiple messages in the same discussion in a relatively short period of time without anyone else commenting in between.

I think that there are two issues at the base of this problem:

1. People are unaware that they can edit their post if they forgot to say something (especially in cases no-one else has responded yet).
2. People are unaware that it is possible to quote multiple comments in one comment.

Do you think you can somewhere build those two things into your tutorial? Or if they already are and I missed them, emphasise them more?

I wasn't even away there were names with spaces o.O I think it's most likely a glitch like we had a while back with the _ not tagging people. I'll tell a guru ^^

Any news on this ^ ?

How do I modify my profile pic

MissCharlie

thank you very helpful

@nator316 You have to become a Member to modify your profile pic. Right now you're a New Member. See the Member or New Member thread for details, but basically you need at least 30 posts and 50 points.

If I ignore someone does it make it where I no longer see anything from them? If not what does it do?

Ceea

Thank you for this, I've never really posted on a forum before and this was insanely helpful! *edit* you'll be my first bookmark!

@Ceea
Aww I'm honored Welcome to the forums, I hope you have a good time ^^

@TessaLee74
Hey there, if you ignore someone you will no longer see their forum posts, unfortunately you can still see what they post in activity.

@MissCharlie

Glad to help
