Deleted User	Have any suggestions for tips I could mention? Want me to explain something you might not be sure about? Let me know below and you could get some Oogles! Tip #1 - Page navigation. You can instantly navigate to a certain page in a long thread, by clicking the navigational page numbers at the top and bottom of the webpage. To do so, locate the navigational page numbers at the top or bottom of the page. It provides a short cut to the first, last, previous and next page in a thread. But what is "..."? Posted Image Posted Image If you click the "...", it will transform into an input field where you can type in any page in the thread and it will take you there. All you have to do is click, type and hit enter. It's that simple, and it avoids having to alter the URL to get to the page you want to go to. Click it: Posted Image Type in a page number: Posted Image Hit enter, and it takes you there. Posted Image Tip #2 - Isolate posts. If you ever want to link to a specific post, you can isolate it and view it in a single post form. To do so, locate the posts' number in the top right corner and click it. It should look like this: Posted Image When you click it, it will bring you to a new page where only this post is displayed. It can be very useful if you need to refer someone to a specific post. The post is exactly like it would usually be in a thread, expect it's isolated. Posted Image Tip #3 - Change your timezone. I have heard that some people have been confused with the times displayed on the forum. This isn't some special forum time, it's because you haven't configured your accounts time zone. To do so, click preferences at the top of the webpage. Alternatively, you can click here: http://s3.zetaboards.com/Pocket_God_Forums/home/ - then under the board controls column, click board settings. Or, you can click the clock at the bottom on the screen. Posted Image Here, you can alter your time zone by selecting the relevant option from the drop down menu and checking the daylight savings box. Now, when someone posts it will be in your time zone. Posted Image Posted Image Tip #4 - View the latest activity. Sometimes, scrolling down the forum looking for a solid meteorite indicating an unread post can be tiresome and annoying. Instead, there is a much easier method available. Scroll down to the bottom of the page on the forum index and locate the "active topics" link. Posted Image This shows you a list of the most popular topics that have recently been posted in, it's really useful. Active Topics page Posted Image Tip #5 - View the latest activity in YOUR topics. Similar to above, the "Replies to your Topics" option at the bottom of the index page is quite useful when keeping up to date with the latest activity. Posted Image This shows unread posts in all of YOUR topics. As seen here. Posted Image It can be quite useful at times. Tip #6 - The Feed As commonly unknown feature of the forum is the feed, it can only be located by typing in the following URL. Posted Image It shows a list of literally everything that has happened recently on the forum, it shows you posts, shoutbox posts and even profile changes. Take a look. Posted Image You can even link directly to the thread where a post was made: Posted Image Or the forum: Posted Image Tip #7 - Hiding Forum Categories Are there some areas of the forum that you really don't like, or want to get rid of for a while? Well, you can! On the top right of every forum category (PG:HQ, Pocket God Chat, Off Topic, etc) there is a little '-' button. If you click it, it will minimize the category. Hiding it. Posted Image For Example Posted Image You can do it to the shoutbox and board stats, also. And to bring it back to full view, simply click the '+' button. Easy!

Deleted User	About Multi-Quote: Nevermind. It's not working. I can fix it, but will do it on the new theme, because it requires a new image. I'd appreciate suggestions for other cool tips I could mention, any questions you have about the forum or how you could do something easier. If I use your suggestion, I will donate you some Oogles. :)
