    Forum features?

    I guess I'm even more bored than usual, because I was staring at this thing and I realized that there a bunch of features that I have no clue what they mean. Perhaps if I knew what they mean, my tgr addiction would be even stronger!

    So does anyone know what "subscribe to this forum", "mark this forum read" , subscribe to this thread" and "buddy list" do?

    Just wondering.

    Don't try them out, whatever you do.





    <------ Yay!

    Hey, how did Kreitler get in my fridge?

    And why don't you guys use the bathroom, it's right down the hall.

    If you subscribe to things and have some options checked it will email you every time someone posts in that thread or forum

    That doesn't sound like a good idea, does it?
    What's the most replies a single thread has ever gotten here? 700? 800? Anyone subscribed to that one?
    I'm not sure that's the thing to strengthen iceman's addiction (I know we all want to see him hit 20,000 posts by next year).

    Do NOT subscribe to threads. It will become very annoying in about 3 seconds.

    Subscribing is good for techtalk (bitch) and spitswap forum threads that you start. If nobody replies for a week, you find out immediately instead of missing that potential deal on Axioms or a new black logo-ed chinstrap.

    And, you can always
    unsubscribe.


    I put iceman on my buddy list.

    Oh, oh. I clicked the buddy button under phUnk's message. Now it says he's on my buddy list. What does this mean? Do I have to send him a birthday and Christmas card every year? Call him on my CB regularly? Watch his back when he gets drunk and unruly at a roughneck roadside bar?

    What have I done?[/obilgatory italics]

    Sick and ashamed and happy (and wish I was on somebodies buddy list),

    "Sorry, you can not add yourself to your own list."

    So much for that idea, gin.

    You know what's my favorite sub-feature of the "Add Buddy" feature?

    "...you will now be returned to where you were."
    It's like I was beamed up by aliens, gently probed, then swiftly returned with no one the wiser...

    In drove this drunken madman and stopped on a dime! Unfortunately the dime was in Mr. Rococo's pocket!
