It can help in longer threads... This is still here, just a bit different. Look for the "Author" tag above a poster's post if they're the thread starter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Piddy Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Just posted in the Movie thread and I put two links in (N.Y. Times and Oprah Magazine) and it said the URL wasn't allowed and it needs moderator approval. I hope this is just a glitch because getting rid of the moderator approval for links was a HUGE step in the right direction. No one wanted to use links in a fast moving thread like the Elections thread because by the time they got approved the post with the link was buried and no one would see it. It was working fine for the short time the link restriction was lifted. If anyone used an unreliable / not credible source it could just get reported for someone to look at. Fingers crossed this is just a glitch. 🤞 Edited September 15, 2020 by Piddy Link to post Share on other sites

d0nnivain Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 There used to be a down arrow that directed you to the new posts after you last visited a thread. Can that come back? If it exists, can somebody please point me to it. The horizontal line is helpful but I may still have to scroll a bit to find it Link to post Share on other sites

It may still be here somewhere. 🤷♂️ There's a new option in your Account Settings that allows you to choose what happens when you click on a link to visit a thread by default. You can find it by going to your Account Settings and the Content View Behavior tab. You can choose to jump to the first comment you haven't read yet, the first comment (take me to the beginning), or the very last comment by default. You can also jump to the first unread post by clicking the little dot (🐹) in front of a topic in the forum listing: 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, but that's not available at this time. We don't have that turned on for non-moderators simply because of the additional cost of hosting images for everyone beyond some limited places (avatars, profile banners, journal images, etc.). Keeping things mostly text cuts back on our operational costs. Link to post Share on other sites
