This board is fairly simple to navigate, and you will hopefully find that it is largely intuitive. This post covers all the basics to help you find your way around as easily as possible.
Home Page
The forum home page shows:
- categories
- boards within each category
- a legend/key to the images next to each board name
- forum information & statistics
You can return to the home page at any time by clicking on Home in the top menu bar, or on the text 2Peas Refugees in the navigation bar immediately below that.
If a category doesn't interest you, you can collapse it so you don't see the individual boards within it. To collapse it, simply click on the category name. Click again to re-expand. The information & statistics area can be collapsed/expanded in a similar manner, using the arrow buttons next to its name.
Navigation
You can navigate around the boards by either
- clicking on the links (board names) on the home page, or
- using the navigation bar (nav bar) immediately below the top menu. When you move your mouse over the nav bar, drop-down menus will appear e.g. if you mouse over the 2Peas Refugees text, a drop-down shows the categories; mouse over a category to show its boards. Once you've found the board you want to move to, click and you will be taken directly there.
At the right hand edge of the nav bar is a Participated button. Click on this to bring up a pop-up list of all threads you have posted on. Click on the post to go directly to it. If new posts have been made on any of these threads since your last visit, the New icon will also appear.
To view a list of all recently updated threads, regardless of which board they are on, click on the Recent Threads link under Forum Information & Statistics on the home page.
Similarly to view all recent posts, click on the Recent Posts thread in the same area. This will show just the recent posts, with the name of the thread at the top of each.
Viewing Threads
Within each board you will see a list of all threads on the board. Any announcements will always be at the top of the listing, followed by 'sticky' threads, then everything else in descending order of the most recent post.
If a thread has new posts since you last visited it, it will have a New button to the left of the thread title. Click on that button to go the first of the new posts.
To go to the first post of a thread, click on the thread title or anywhere else in the title box (except the New button if present)
At the right hand edge of the thread listing, each thread has a box with details of when the latest post was made and by whom. To go to the last post in a thread, click anywhere in this box (except the poster's name)
Scroll Button
At the right hand edge of the screen is a 'floating' button that will show either an up or down arrow depending on where you are on the page. Click on this button to quickly scroll to the top/bottom of the page in the direction of the arrow.
