There's also a description of how the reputation system works in the base FAQ link found in the black menu bar at the top of the forum page, as Mindi pointed out. Here's a direct link:

Re: Official Questions Thread
 

Okay, another one. How does the Multi-Quote feature work? It has me stumped for the moment.

Hope you don't mind me asking all these questions. I'm hoping other people will see the answers to them here as well.

Re: Official Questions Thread
 

Nope, don't mind at all, that's why we put some organization around these conversations. Okay, say you want to quote 3 people in a thread (3 is the max right now), find the posts, click the multiquote icon.....once you have found all three posts and click all three multiquote buttons, click post reply and see what happens. ;)

Re: Official Questions Thread
 

That's very useful. Usually I need to start opening their quote buttons in tabs and then start to copy and paste. A nice feature.

Re: Official Questions Thread
 

Some threads have made it into my "New Subscribed Threads" box in the User CP without me knowingly adding them in any way. I am getting "Your Notifications" about them now, too. Uhm, why?

Re: Official Questions Thread
 

Originally anything you posted in auto subscribed you to those thread. That's been changed by default for new users but there is no way to go change it for all users without overwriting changes that individual users have made. If you want auto subscribe turned off go to usercp-->edit options-->Messaging & Notification-->Default Thread Subscription Mode-->Select Do Not Subscribe.

Oh and don't forget to save!

Re: Official Questions Thread
 

Is there any way to turn off the auto-logout feature?

Re: Official Questions Thread
 

Auto-logout is standard with vbulletin software unless you click the 'remember me' box when you log in. Are you clicking this box and still getting logged out? I've had one report of this and told that person to clear their cache and cookie an login again clicking remember me, but I have yet to hear back so I don't know if this is an issue of broken functionality or not.

Big brother is watching you
 

I just noticed that you can spy on what another user is doing in his member page. While this might be a nice idea in general, is it possible to disable this?

Attachment 6657

Also, is it possible to attach images AND show them at full size, somehow, instead of just as a preview pic? Or do you really need to link to an offsite image for that?

Re: Big brother is watching you
 

In your User CP under Other Edit Options there is a setting for privacy. Try setting yours to "invisible". I think this will disable that view. Mindi, please correct me if I'm wrong.


First be sure you are not in "quick reply" mode, then use the attachment icon to upload your image file. Then click on the arrow to the right of the attachment icon and select the uploaded image you wish to display. It will appear in your post as [ATTACH]xxxx[/ATTACH], which you can cut and past into whatever part of your post you would like it to appear.

Attachment 6659

In the attachment window you will find a list of the allowed file types and their maximum sizes.
