How to make large posts in the Forums

Fri Sep 10, 2004 6:10 pm by bakedpotato

<ul>The first post in a new topic thread cannot be very large...
You have to reply to your own post to make a really big post...
You'll know if you post to much text in the original subject because you will get an error...

To avoid getting this error message....make the first page small then reply to your own post or subject if you will...

Continue on making reply after reply or page after page if you will...think of it like a book with pages.

The second and third and so on post or reply can be much larger then the first or original subject post.

TIP: Some of the sections can be set to show topics from last year...see the little box in the upper right side of the forum page...

Any Topic Amazing Stories so you can see all the topics in that section...</ul>

I will say ONE suggestion -and trust me - i learnt this the flippin hard way.....

Before posting a large reply to a thread, PLEASE right click and highlight all your work - and copy it....that will save it in your memory for the time being.

The reason is simple - i have got errors or the website has stopped responding before - and when you get the error message and hit "back" you can lose ALL your typed work. I have lost MANY hours of tutorials typing due to that!! So PLEASE - to prevent RSI - highlight and copy your post BEFORE posting it - otherwise you will start losing content every now and then!
