FORUM HOW-TO's
Hi all.
Don't let all the features and options of the new software intimidate you. There are still only three main functions of a forum. The new software works the same way as the old software. If you can do these three things you are off and running. Take your time and explore all the new features of TOTV little by little. It's really not that different than the old software. Some things have moved around and changed but the basic forum functions the same way. 1. Create a new thread 2. Reply to a post 3. Save your reply. Spell Checker - You will need to install iSpell. Click on the spell check button to install. After it is installed it will pull up a spell check window. Also works on any web page or form. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/pics/spell.jpg Create a new thread. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/pics/newthread.jpg Reply to a post. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/pics/postreply.jpg Save your post https://www.talkofthevillages.com/pics/savereply.jpg Lots of good info here in the FAQ section with detailed instructions of almost every aspect of the forums. https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/faq.php |

New Thread
Thank you, I was able to find all except. "new thread". Now I can't remember what I was going to start a thread about.
:2excited: |
I went to delete a post so I could start over and rewrite it but could not find the delete option. Is this no longer available or did I just not see it?

Spell Checker?
I have no spell checker where your example says it should be. Instead, my screen shows up and down arrows "increase/decrease size". Aongside those arrows is "switch editor mode".

Spell Checker??
I went to install Spell Checker and the "button" to install it was not on my screen. I had the "Switch Editor Mode" icon and the "Increase/Decrease Size" icons but no spell checker icon. Any suggestions?

My wife used her full name as her screen name. She would like to change her SN, I have tried registering her with a new name but email address in use would not allow. Is it possible to change scree name once registered? thanks in advance

Mixed up posts
Am I missing something? When I looked at the posts today, the sequence was random. I reset my options to see newest post first. No difference. When I open a thread, the posts are mixed up, 2010,2007,2012,2008 etc etc.

Trying to get sold sign in Title
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I am trying to change the title of my post to reflect that my item has been sold. I have followed these steps:
Go to the post and click on edit post Click on Advanced Go to the Title and type in the changes Click on Submit changes. When I do this, the changes appear in my post after someone has clicked on it. But they do not appear on the page where all the items are listed for sale before someone clicks on it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give me. This is driving me crazy. |
Prior to the new software, when I logged into the forum using my cell phone and the mobile app, it would show me a list of new threads, or old threads with new replies. Since the new software has been deployed, all of the threads are listed - even if I've already read all of the posts for a thread.
I can't seem to find a way to list only threads with unread posts. Is that possible anymore? Quote:

After watching the video, I still am unable to post an ad. Help! Thank you in advance.

Then my issue is not related to the software, sine I log in a couple times a week.
Actually, I found a switch to list newer posts first. I clicked it, so let's see if that will make a difference. |
I wrote a post yesterday on the thread regarding the TV hospital. I selected "Post Quick Reply" however, I was unable to see the post today when I checked the topic. Did I do something wrong? I am new to TOTV.
