Also, after typing out your post, you can hit tab+space bar to post a quick reply without clicking.

Another nice feature.



I did not know this.

Ok. I knew Tab + enter worked. I did not know about Tab + Space Bar.

I go two dumb questions. 1) can I just make a post without replying to someone? 2) when I click quote an empty box comes up, do I have to manually type what I want to quote? Pardon my ignorance

Only if you start a new thread. Otherwise, no.

No. On the posting page below your text box will be the post you're replying to. Just select what you want to quote, then click quote. You don't even have to copy and paste.

Really late to the conversation, but another helpful hint is to be sure to lurk for a while before just commenting. See the layout of the board before you just start posting BS.

You know I never even knew that, thanks.

No. No. No.

Y'all have it wrong. People shouldn't "lurk" on here because that's just creepy. They should immediately start by creating threads about the civil war because as we know, the civil war is what all colleges in the SEC have in common.

Also, newbs should be encouraged to say whatever is on their mind.

This "lurking" talk is complete bullshite.

Why do I feel by this comment that I didn't follow my own tip?
