A technical question
2) Is there a tutorial for new users on this website?

Thank you for being available. Do we have a tutorial (about how to navigate, and how to perform common tasks on this website)? I would probably be not the only one to benefit from reading it.Scott wrote: Any questions not answered by the forum rules can be asked here. Thank you!

Unfortunately, we do not have a tutorial. This is a good suggestion. I will write a tutorial/FAQ soon.
For now, you may be able to find answers to your questions by using the search feature to search the feedback forum.

Re: A technical question
I have a 255 word limit on a signature but when I 'submit' get a bounce saying I have a 0 word limit.
I am experiencing a similar issue with adding a website to my profile.
I've passed 10 or 12 posts, which I vaguely recall seeing was a minimum for some profile alterations.
Any ideas of what is happening and how to fix / circumvent it?
cheers!
Tim

I don't know if this is realistic or possible... but I just wanted to throw the idea out there. :-) Thanks.

What you are describing is possible, but might already be sort of indirectly fulfilled by that.

Re: A technical question
I'm using the Chrome browser, and the "Jump to:" navigation links have some kind of a clipping problem or something. It works right on the main forum index page, but everywhere else only the bottom five pixels are clickable.

You can adjust whether or not the subscribe to topic button is clicked by default when making a post to a topic in the preferences tab, under profile, in the User Control Panel.

Re: A technical question
On the other hand, you can easily search for topics to which you have posted at any time. But that will not include topics to which you have manually subscribed but not posted.
There is a bookmark feature. But I do not use it because it is too much hassle so I understand that.
There is an option in the 'edit global settings' section of the 'board preferences' for "Administrators can e-mail me information". While that disables the twice-monthly newsletter, I do not think it disables subscription notifications.
I suppose what would be best would be to integrate bookmarks with subscriptions so that the subscriptions page includes the typical subscriptions which have email notification with bookmarks of topics you want to see there but for which you do not want to get emails. However, implementing that adjustment will take a little time. Does it sound like something worthwhile? Do you have any suggestions on how to have it work on the user-end? Thank you!
