Mods, FR geeks and newbies, over here please! (FR technical Q&A)

Posted on 06/21/2010 2:59:11 PM PDT by Miztiki

Since there are plenty of folks who find FR confusing to navigate, especially newbies, how about some technical links to help us out?

Slower than a union molasses pourer in January here (Firefox).

Hope Jim Thompson gets this figured out soon.

Go to your FR Profile page. Clink on “Links” at the top of the page between the “About” and “Contact” links.

Your bookmarked links will show up. At the bottom of the page, click on “You can edit this page.”

Delete to your heart’s content. Let me know if you have any trouble.

FRegards,
Tex

Hiya rocky! At this point it doesn’t look like anyones flag is showing (just that nice red X). However, looks as tho everyone can still access their state message board thru it.

I need someone to tell me how to remove articles I’ve bookmarked on the right-hand side of the main screen.

At the bottom of the sidebar, click "Configure Sidebar." My page Layout will appear. Look down the list of sidebar items for "Bookmarks." It should be in the large box labeled "Right" at the top. When you find "Bookmarks," see the pop-up menu under the heading "Region." (It should say "Right") Click on the box, and drag to select "Disabled."

Finish by clicking the "Modify" button at the extreme lower left corner of the web page.

As long as we’re fruitlessly griping and asking questions, why isn’t the default search option ‘title’ instead of ‘keyword’?

What is the HTML sandbox?

Is HTML sandbox useful for posting to FR?

Yes.

If I knew HTML better then I would be able to quote you in italics, or provide links with descriptive names instead of just a URL, or post pictures, or insert info from elsewhere (like info on the fed budget) and have it come out correctly.

So yes, it can be very helpful to know basic HTML here on FR.

I hope that helps.

HTML Sandbox teaches you how to get fancy. You can italicize, make your words bold or change size or colors!!

You can even learn to paste pictures

Altered

or lots of other cool stuff. Good things to know.
