Details on some of the changes to the forum

is there a way i can turn off the initial post to a thread ?

Not sure I understand what you're asking.

Is it starting a new topic and then wanting to remove it?

Or are you seeing the initial post for a topic on pages 2,3,4....

I suspect the latter.

When viewing a topic, click on Options (should be on the same line as the topic title, next to rating) and select "Switch to Standard"

you suspect correct

but can't i just turn it off once and for all ?

where is the option button anyway ?

[GT]

Changing it in any topic changes it for every topic.

Options button is on the same line as the topic title, toward the top, on the right hand side, under the Add Reply button.

Okay, I know I've seen this somewhere before; but it's not in this thread where it should be.

How do I change the writing under my avatar (what used to be the "karma settings")?

I think there is a $40 minimum level of donation for that option to be activated :blink:

I can't seem to find the Music thread. I've got a new discovery to discuss. I see the Entertainment thread in the Archives. Where do I go? I wanna share!

Click on "My Controls" (top menu), then "Edit Profile Information" (on the side menu).

"Custom Member Title" is the first field.

Note: You need 500 posts for the field to show up so you can change it.
