Is there a way to sort the forums on individual forum topics by date?
As the subjects of older forums are great it seems that no one (not absolute) replies to > about 2yrs

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but I've found the best way to see the most recent posts by date is by using the "recent posts" link.

I just joined RF, and on my first post I seemed to have encountered an issue that perhaps needs resolved. In my sig I have an image of my website logo that is linkable to my website. I don't ask or accept any monetary exchange. It's free for anyone to visit who may be interested in my personal spiritual journey. I can, of course, remove the link and image if that is necessary.

Thanks.

What does it mean that a user is "online"? There is a box on the front page that lists users online but if someone is not actively posting, what does that indicate?

Does that mean that the person has a window/tab open to the page? That the person has accessed a page (or refreshed a page) within a specific period of time? Does it mean someone has posted something within a certain amount of time? TIA.

The email verification system still needs to be fixed. I will look your friend up in the admin CP and validate his account now.

Edit: Your friend should now be able to post. Let us know if he has any other issues signing in.

Sorry, I just saw this.

As far as I know, being online means having accessed a page on the forum within a specific time frame, which was 15 minutes before the software update. After being inactive for more than 15 minutes, the old software would log you out.

I'm not sure how long the inactivity window is on the new software, though.

How do I make "spoilers"?

Like, if I want to post a song with explicit lyrics, how do I hide it behind a spoiler thing. I don't use a computer btw I'm on a phone

There are two ways. The first is to use the button for the spoiler-tag option, whose button is a struck-through eye. The second is to use the same option by typing the required code as follows:

[ spoiler = *reason here*] *spoilered content* [ /spoiler] (without spaces).

Entering the reason is optional; you can type [ spoiler] instead for the first part of the code.

Where in the preliminary material can I find information on blocking a user?

 

[SalixIncendium]

Either go to the member's profile and click "ignore"...

Or click on the member in the thread in and click ignore...

Thank you. I think that one of our fellows deserves a temporary “private ban” for being a provocative jerk.

I joined Religious Forums so I could post in Escatology. When I went there I could not find a way to post a thread and then I saw: You have insufficient privileges to post threads here. How do I get to post in this forum?

Hello and welcome to RF!

You need to have the Abrahamic DIR selected to access the Eschatology sub-DIR. I see you have already selected it, so you will just need to wait an hour or two for the system to register the changes.

Enjoy your time on the forums!

Hi. I joined primarily to discuss Christian theology. Upon visiting your Christian forums I see that I am unable to create a post. What must I do, please? Thank you.

Hello and welcome to RF!

Go to your profile by clicking the first icon (from the left) on the top-right corner of the screen. From the drop-down menu, select "Account details." Scroll down to "DIR Forum Access" and check the boxes for a maximum of three DIRs with which you identify.

The Christianity DIR and its sub-DIRs are in the Abrahamic Religions DIR, so check the box for the Abrahamic Religions DIR and wait about an hour or two for the system to register the changes. You will then be able to post in the Christianity DIR.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any more questions.

Why am I prohibited from posting in the Political Discussions forum?
The thread in question isn't in a sub-forum that I don't belong to.

Another example of poor police training

These people were detained for shoplifting. Though I am not certain if more was stolen, the 4 year old girl did steal a barbie doll. This was the police response. There is a prior history between him and the cops. He is awaiting trial for assaulting two officers after a car accident. He has a...
