Is there a guide to using this forum anywhere?

[No_2]

I've noticed some people reply to my comments in a thread or when I quote them pretty quickly. Some of these threads are quite old.

I therefore assume that they are using an option somewhere on this forum to check back for replys to their previous posts.

My questions:

    1. Is there such an option?
    2. What other options and features are available to make my life managing threads easier?
    3. Is there a canonical guide to these features anywhere?

They're default SMF features. See:

"Show new replies to your posts."

"Watchlist"

* Show unread posts since last visit.
* Show new replies to your posts.

The two most important links on this board.

I find "Show new replies to your posts" obsolete because you can't remove topics from it. The Watchlist is far more powerful.

Patrol lets you read posts without clicking topics, so I sometimes use it in lieu of "Show unread posts since last visit".

Patrol can be enabled through your profile options. It leads to this page if you aren't a mod. If you are, it might lead to a different page.

Thank you sir.

Patrol only shows newbie posts, though. It's mostly intended for moderators and people who want to help with moderation.

There's a different page which shows all posts (actually only the last post of each topic):

All users can use Patrol.

Ah. I remember enabling it, then using the link for a browser extension. I must have changed the link somewhere along the line. My bad, then.
