I love all the little tips I've learned about navigating, posting, and updating privacy and preferences. I thought perhaps we could put all the tips in one spot as they're hard to find in the middle of a bunch of threads. So here are my favorite tips so far:
iPads: click on the time at the top of the page to come back to the top of the page you're on.
Reply vs. quick reply: use reply if you want different fonts, colors, links, quotes, etc.
What are your best tips??

Probably obvious but on a PC, click the settings symbol to the right of the reply box and that will take you back to the top.

Good idea, in fact I've already started drafting a post for just that purpose, that will be kept as a sticky in the Support section of the board. I'll pin this one for now and please keep adding to it (will save me some typing!) - I'll merge it with my thread once I get time to finish it

It wasn't obvious to me either but I assumed I was probably in the minority not knowing

Christine, yours is 405.
To get your refupea number click on your name and when you're on your profile page it's in your URL. These instructions are for a tablet or phone. On a PC or Mac, hover the arrow over your name and look in the bottom left corner of the screen for the URL to pop up

To add additional smilies to your smiley drop-down ----- like: There are a couple of ways. I was going to type them out but I'll be late to work so go to this thread that GaleW started. If you want to use the old 2Peas smilies, you should save them to your computer, they will probably go *poof* when Peas closes. Ok, the link to the thread is fixed now. The whole thread is helpful, so either go and read through or this is how I did it. Make a new folder on your computer and call it smilies or whatever Both GaleW and CaDoodlebug have a lot of smileys that you can copy in the thread above. or start with those 3 I have up top. Right click one, choose save image as and put it in the folder you just made on your hard drive. Repeat for any smilies as you want. Open a photo-hosting account, I'm using my old Shutterfly account. Make a "smilies" folder. Upload all your smiliess to your online account. Choose the "direct link" option that starts with img. - copy that Now go to your PROFILE from the top menu, choose Profile>edit profile>settings>your personal smileys - it's the very last thing on the settings page. Enter the code you have saved from your hosting site in one of the fields. Click set changes, then save account settings.You can enter 5, then you have to click save account settings at the bottom. I think there are up to 25 fields to put your own smilies. Remember you have to click "set changes" in the Smilies box and "save account settings" at the bottom of the page. They will show up when you click the smiley drop-down in a post. Some people can just click and some will have to drag. I'm using chrome, I have to drag it into a post. Have fun !

Interesting, thanks for the PC scroll help (I didn't know that) and how to see my new number (138). I didn't even know we had a number. I guess the admin would be #1, I wonder who#2 is?

If you want to earburn someone in a post, just put an @ in front of their username.

You can also hit the "Home" button on your keyboard for a quick trip to the top of the page.
To bookmark a thread, right click the "Actions" button near the top right of the page and scroll down to Bookmark.
If you're in the Reply window, you can click the "quote" bubble to insert copied text for a quote.

What - how to I get access to the old 2peas smiles THIS! I assume it can't be done on a iPad, if so how. Can someone send me a link to 2pea smilies. I tried to save other smiles I found to my Mac and I couldn't do it. Gah. I read the other thread, copy and pasted in the right spot but it didn't work. I want 2 pea smiles. Wah!

It means you can tag someone in a post. For example marianne Oh, so it just means you mentioned them in a post? Thanks! Well, sort of. It sends a notification to the user that they've been tagged so they'll check out the post.
