+hzoi Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Still getting used to the new forum. (Not a gripe -- just an observation.) Only today did I notice that there was a drop-down menu at upper right for "+ Create." Clicking it gives options for "Status" and "Topic." Clicking "Topic," not surprisingly, brings up a dialogue for making a new topic, and allows one to select the sub-forum for said new topic. Go figure. But clicking "Status" brings up a box like a forum post, titled "Up[date Status." I can input text, upload photos, etc. Except I've used it twice and can't figure out where this information goes. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious -- happens more often than I'd care to admit, really -- but it doesn't appear to change anything. So, uh, what gives? What do it do? Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 OK -- I now see that these show up in "Content I started." (Yet another part of the new forums I didn't know existed.) Is this visible to anyone else? Do people get any kind of alert when I fiddle with these? Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I had a look at your profile and "find content" and I could see your status update, at least I think that's what it was, I replied to it. It seems to be forum content that isn't tied to a forum, but it's tied to you like your own private mini forum. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Yes, I tested that out with my sock puppet. Odd to have this function if it's not really tied to anything. I envisioned something like the old "shout" function on Kingdom of Loathing, but that's not how it works at all. In other words: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment
