    Default handy tips for using the forums

    one thing ive noticed so far is that people say "i couldnt be bothered reading the last 4 pages of the thread" when i am only seeing 2 pages.

    i remember in the beginning i set my posts-per-page to the maximum available.



    to change it, go to user CP => edit options => Number of Posts to Show Per Page => show 40 posts per page


    handy tip of the week!
    hello

    here's another, for a short cut to replying posts or PM's. instead of clicking "Post Reply" once you're done , you can use ALT + S.

    Dont forgot that when you are using posting replies, you can use standard "Word" shortcuts to format your text:
    CTRL + B = bold
    CTRL + U = underline
    CTRL + I = italics
    ...etc
    ...... butt scratcher?!

    no worky on my computer

    control + B = organise favourites
    control + I = open favourites sidebar
    control + U = nothing

    is there some kind of setting to enable this stuff?
