How do we.........

#1
OK I'll start it I've just commented on Mark's post about PM's I also noticed that if you click the Inbox button near the top of the page that let's you 'Start a Conversation'. I did try to put it in General Chat but can't find a 'Post new thread' button, any ideas or is that coming when we all come over here permanently.

Just select the Post New Thread button first ... that starts a new Thread... The conversation is the Private message area..

How do you get the tabs under youre profile pic, such as premier member and iba member ?. Or is that an admin thing

Just send me an email [email protected] and I can correct then. I have full admin rights.

Just bear in mind that I'm still trying to learn all the ins and outs just as you are though

Is there any way of clicking something to find new posts on just the UK side of things?

The 'New Posts' button at the top gives me new posts for every IBA section in the world, and it takes a while to go through each section just to have a look.

Looks like the watch Forum on the UK site is not enabled for custom alerts ...

Here is the example of the IBA Germany Forum

This would allow for a quick view on your Watch Forum selection

Phil may be able to enable it for us to be the same as the IBA Germany side.

Edit.....

Found out why ...
We can't put a new thread on the main page, admin lockout..
However.
We can set all of the main forum folders(Headers) on a Forum watch list, it takes some time but it can be done.

example
Click on a subject
then Click on the Watch Forum

then Click on the Watch Forum

Then under the tab Watched Threads click and ... Yep... unread messages

Would be easier if the alteration was done it's only a few clicks to set-up

They have now activated the New Post button which will also show the updates since your last visit which helps.

Am I doing something wrong, then? The New Post button gives every new post from every forum throughout the world (still), not just the UK forum.

I can't see the "Watch forum button". Can you point me in the right direction. I think I'm being a bit dumb. I've changed a few things on the IBAUK heading but can't check that it worked

When you visit a forum section, it's in between the 'Post New Thread' on the top right of the page and the brown bar, Phil.

got it.
I'm afraid you will have to watch every individual section as Ziggy suggested
Other wise I have to allow posts on the main forum which I'm avoiding to keep it all tidy and easier to navigate

I know that's a bad picture but its Altnabreac Station Scotland just so if you haven't been that's all the is there.
