Depending on my long observations(:D), I decided to make a tutorial about the abilities of our beautiful forum.


Posting a reply:

A)Quick Reply

There will be a Quick Reply section at the bottom of the page. Just type your message in if you don't need advanced options.



B)Advanced Reply

So here are all the options you can use while replying. I haven't provided the full page but you should be able to figure it out.



Editing Your Reply

By clicking edit, you can change your post. The same thing applies here. You can press Go Advanced and go to Advanced Editing.



Quoting

To simply quote someone's post, press "Quote" and type your reply accordingly.



Quoting Multiple Posts

In order to this, Press the "Quote+" button for the posts you want to quote (the button will change colors), then at the last post, just press the Quote button.



Deleting Your Post

To do this, click edit, then find the "Delete" button. Press delete, and click the Delete Message option. Then click Delete This Message.



Public Profiles

To view someone's public profile, click on his/her username and click "View Public Profile". You can click the other options if you want.



The Control Panel

Click on the User CP link to go to your Control Panel.

Here you can edit your profile, (your name, birthday, msn, WCA id, youtube channel, icq etc.), change your account information, your avatar, your signature, and customize your options.
You can also check the messages you received. (You will be notified by mail if you receive a message too)



Starting a Thread

Click the "New Thread" button to start a new thread. BUT, before doing so, see the next function:



AND THE MOST IMPORTANT, THE MOST VITAL, THE MOST DEADLY, THE FUNCTION OF ALL FUNCTIONS...

IS THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!

This is a very important feature as you might have understood. Use it before opening a new thread. You can also use google. (There's a tutorial on how to use google on our forum too. If you don't know how to use it, please see the tutorial)

Sometimes you can delete your thread too, but I haven't figured out when.

Enjoy!
 
I find this very laughable.
Most people think you have to be a genius to solve the cube.
Most people also think it's very easy to use a forum.
Sometimes I wish there aren't any cubing tutorials at all.
(Then I probably won't be cubing, but is that such a bad thing?)
 
Whoa, never noticed QUOTE+. Good tutorial. For "Quoting" I suggest you mention that it's possible and very useful to edit the quote in order to reduce it to the part you want to reply to or in order to split it into several parts to put your replies between the original parts.
