If you are a subscriber it is red in color I think that is why yours is red and mine is blue

Got it thanks. The only reason I asked is because non-subscribers were black yesterday and today I saw some blue ones.
It had to do with a subsriber option that we where able to change at the old site. Comming here it put it in place and I don't know If we can revert it back yet.

just figured out you can now edit your own thread title and not have to get a mod to do it for you.its at the top right of your thread .goto thread tools and click on it.
That's great and good to know. I also found you can edit your PMs after you sent them, for me that's a must. Not that I send them in a drunken stupor or anything like that...
I just noticed if you go to the top dark blue tool bar >Members> Recent Activity...
It shows the active posting like the new post page at the old site.
Actually it's even more advanced than that as it's personalized and will also show you members posting you "Likes" without leaving a comment.

Want to find a quoted post in a thread and can't find it? - just click on the small blue 'up' arrow next to <username> said: and you'll be taken to the post. Useful if someone has 'part quoted' a member and the context of the quote is unclear.
Many might already have found this (obvious maybe), I found it this afternoon and thought it was cool

For me it depends on where I click.
If I click on the title of the thread it takes me to the first post.
If I click on the dot to the left of the title of the thread it take me to the first unread post if I have previously read posts.
If I click on the time of the last past then it takes me to the last post in the thread.

What's this ?
Same here, highlighted, dragged, bolded, italicized, underlined and colored after just dragging from the above post.
I dragged this from the google page, to my desktop, then to the reply box.
Here I highlighted and hit the reply option that pops up and it placed the quote where the cursor was.
This one from another page of the thread, saves your draft while you dig around.

What's this ?
I'm just messing around, all this is probably already been discussed.
Testing draft saving here. Pressed the floppy disk icon in the reply toolbox an clicked save draft. Went to another thread and after highlighting text from there, selecting +quote then came back here to the saved draft and hit the insert quotes button that appears below the reply box.
Same process here. Also, if you click the little blue arrow in the quote box it takes you to the original quoted post.

Very hard to get lighted sign I've only had 2 chances to get and failed both times!

I just ran into what may be a glitch. I made a post in a thread in the general discussion forum and as I usually do because I am somewhat mistake prone, when to look for it under new posts and it was nowhere to be found, but it does show up in the parent forum. Interesting.
