    i always use the right-facing arrow beside the last post since it usually automatically goes to the last new post on a thread for me, or the first post if i havent read the thread

    you know if you highlight the envelope on the far left beside a thread, it'll say "you have x posts in this thread, last one at ..."

    What other secrets of boards have I yet to discover?

    If you press Alt+F4 you go directly to the post in the thread with the most thanks.

    At the top left of the screen, if you click the little 'folder' icon just before the thread title, it will reload the page.

    Also, if you press Ctrl+D a 3 times quickly, it will 'mark' this thread, making it easy to find in future, from anywhere on boards.ie.

    What have I be doing with my life. I am just having flashbacks of all that scrolling I have done over the years.

    What am I going to do with all this free time I have now?

    If you click the little paperclip/attachment icon to the right of the thread title, it will display a list of all attachments in the thread!

    And if you click the thread name in a forum's subforum (e.g. "You Laugh You Lose" directly from After Hours) - it takes you to the first unread post
    If you click the arrow close to it, it takes you to the last post.

    I notice when most do screen grabs of other posts they are using standards boards colours.

    Black FTW!;)

    Another discovery! Brace yourselves 'cause this one is a doozy.

    You know when you are reading away at a thread, as you do. Well you scroll down as you are reading the posts. Then you get to the end of the page and want to get back into the After Hours main page. What do you do? Well what I do is I scroll all the way back to the top of the page to locate the very handy blue After Hours hyperlink thing. You know the one? 'boards.ie > Rec > After Hours > If you click on the little downwards facing arrow...' That shit is hidden away at the bottom of the page too. No, I mean it, it's really there. It's right down there. No more pointless up scrolling for me. Everything is coming up Milhouse! :cool:

    I believe they're called "bread crumbs".

    If you use the beta skin, they're fixed to the top of the page under the fixed menu.

    You know, I can't remember. It used to be at the bottom of every page iirc, but it's not any more.

    Probably in your User CP somewhere.

    Is there an easy way of finding if someone quoted you in a thread. I hate when you are in a conversation/argument and the next day you come back to see the thread is 20 pages long. I cant be bothered my ass usually reading all of the replies but if someone quoted one of my posts I would like to give them the courtesy of replying. I know in stats you can find thanked posts but no quoted posts.

    Yep yep yep. I have this one down. What you need to do Car is you open the thread and click the 'search this thread' white thing in the blue bar at the top right hand corner of your computerised screen mechanism. Then just type your username in there. Any post with a mention of your user name, including when someone quoted you, will come up in an easy to navigate list. Boom!

    That would be a nice feature.

    I've often gone back to a thread and seen that someone addressed me directly in a post and thought 'ah feck - must think I'm an ignorant fukker'.
