Can some amazingly kind and fabulous person help me?

Topics

CheekyPixie

OK, pretty much into this LC shizzazzle now, but just wonder if someone can assist me on a few things:

1.     How do you start a 'poll?'

2.     How do you look at what your previous posts are? On the old forum,
      there used to be a 'view cheeky-pixie's posts' option on the profile.
        I want to know how to get back to the threads I was on earlier, if I
        have forgot...

3.     Can someone tell me what a V.I.P. is and how someone becomes on?
        (I noticed some have VIP by their names, and I wondered why...)

4.     How do you edit a post once it has been submitted?

All of the above may be obvious to some, but I can't figure any of the above out. If someone could help, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.

*edited to see if I can edit!*

If you look above most active members over on the R hand side it says in a box Post new topic. click and it gives you options for polls etc. VIP's have paid and it gives them more access to other stuff. As for the rest I haven't a scooby. Glad to be of help, even if it wasn't helpful...but I haven't a clue either, just muddling through it all on my own! sorry!

I can`t help with the first 2 but VIP is an option you can buy, there`s an advert at the right hand side of this page.
You edit the same as before, when you post there`s a couple of options on the bottom left hand corner for edit or delete post.

Thanks you guys, I can see the edit button now. I couldn't see it for the life of me before! Tiddly, I can see how to start a poll now THANK YOU; yep, you do have to click 'start a new topic...' and thanks for the info on the VIP.. Just the thing about how to get back to the old posts from earlier on.

Might be wrong..so please don't rely on my answers....

Your *ticker* shows all the posts that have been posted in threads you have contributed to...

You can edit your posts at any time...(no time limit) if you swipe your cursor over the bottom right hand part of your post the word 'edit' shows...just click,edit and submit

hope I'm right

Thanks Mys Terry. I shall go and check the ticker now.

9/21/0912:04 PM

CheekyPixieMember

Struggling a bit with the looking t threads I posted on earlier.

I looked at the ticker, but it seemed to just indicate recent posts from everyone, not just me. Maybe I am doing it wrong........

'Fraid there's no directly similar thing to 'Post History' on the old GaGa. Ticker is the closest thing. Depends on your setting, but it can show you replies in threads to which you have posted.

Thanks Fluffy.

Edit is easy peasy.

After you have made a post hover over in the bottom right of your posts. You have options to edit, delete, permalinnk and report.

I have found the edit here to be much quicker than on Gaga. which is great for me as my fingers never do as they are told and I always have typos galore.

9/21/0912:17 PM

CheekyPixieMember

Thank you too Leccy. I never noticed that earlier, because I wasn't hovering my cursor over the right bit.

You're welcome Cheeky (I've no idea what permalink is for mind

)

9/21/0912:20 PM

Extremely Fluffy Fluffy ThingMember VIP10 yearsModerator

permalink allows you to link to a specific post instead of just the page.

I thought it might be something along those lines. Thanks Fluffy

Also try 'explore' then 'topics' it lets you see the most recent ones that you might have posted in! Maybe?? I'm sh1t at this by the way, but at least I'm trying to be amazingly kind and fabulously helpful anyway!

figtreeMember

I am very kind

but you lost me at... how!

9/21/0912:30 PM

CheekyPixieMember

Yes you are amazingly kind and helpful tiddly

I shall try that thank you!

Thanks anyway figtree.

Thanks for that tip T-W... I hadn't found that one yet

9/21/0912:31 PM

CheekyPixieMember

Ooooh, tiddly, I think you may have found something there. Four threads I posted in came up on the top of the list.... (when I looked at 'explore' and 'topics' ...) I will post on a few more topics/threads and try again and see if they also come up on the top.....

D'oh! Not so sure now sorry tiddly. I just posted on 'what are you listening to right now?' and the freddie fan thread, and a couple of others, and they haven't popped up at the top.

Maybe they will in a few minutes. I think maybe that 'explore' and 'topics' thing is highlighting the most popular threads from the last hour so or something. I shall keep checking though. Thanks again Tiddly.

9/21/0912:41 PM

CheekyPixieMember

When I click on ME, it shows the threads I have started, so that's a start. Just need to find a way to get to the threads I have posted on today too. I will keep looking, Thanks everyone, you're being a great help.

9/21/0912:49 PM

CheekyPixieMember

Well said Mary

Tiddly. Thanks anyway sweetie.

You have actually made me start looking around in places I wouldn't have looked, so you have been helpful. In fact, everyone has ;;; thank you!

CP .. when you go to Explore : Topics.. there is a little box on the top right... select Recent Activity rather than New Topics

HI Zaphod.

Well it still only brings up the most recent topics that everyone has been posting on, but like with tiddly's suggestion, it gives me a good idea of the most recent ones, so I should be able to get find most of my posts from there. Thank you, Can't seem to find a way yet, to select my recent posts 'only' though. As I said; thanks anyway.

9/21/091:19 PM

ZaphodMember

Final idea then .. depending on how chatty you have been.... hit permalink on your most recent post in a thread... once the URL at the top of your browser has changed slightly... bookmark it.. you can then return to that post... ok you will have a few build up but you can delete them as and when they no longer become relevant

Cool, I could try that, thanks Zaphod.

Plagiarism and limelight stealing. OK so I didn't explain it fully!

How do you look at what your previous posts are? On the old forum, there used to be a 'view cheeky-pixie's posts' option on the profile. I want to know how to get back to the threads I was on earlier, if I have forgot...

That is the one thing I miss the most. I have mentioned a couple of times, and I hope the powers-that-be will have noted it.
The beauty of it on the old forum was that it was a simplw "one-click" operation; no messing about. I miss it a lot.

Not trying to copy or 'limelight' steal as I gave you full credit for the tip in the first place

Explore>topics is like the thread title page of GaGa, but where GaGa has a title page for EACH forum this page is an amalgamation of ALL forums, even the support forums.

Thank you to everyone for your help. See y'all tomorrow., Gotta go now. Bed calls. I am knackered today. Take care everyone!

Not sure - yet again

- if I'm talking about something I really haven't got a clue about...but..

....if you click on your own user-name you should be able to see a list of your recent community topics...

*edit* ignore me....it doesn't seem to be the answer..
Back to the drawing board.....
