Maybe…how to reply to a topic versus an individual’s post. Also, tagging other members.
My apologies if these are already listed. I think I remember learning from discobot.
You can mute threads and categories did that they do not appear in your list. This can be helpful if there is a topic that you are not interested in our you find unhelpful to your sobriety. At the bottom of each thread is a box that you can select.
Is there a simple way to jump to the end of a very long thread? I see I can jump to and put in the number of the last post but wondering if I’m missing an easier way to get to the current part of the discussion. Thanks x
First, you can tap the thread count at bottom right (you see where it says 1326/1361 in this screenshot) and it will pull up a slider where you can drag yourself to the bottom of the thread:
The second option is if you tap on the title of the thread at the top of your screen (the screenshot above, the title is “Checking in daily to maintain focus #42”), it will bring you to the top of the thread, where there is a link that says “last reply > [time of last reply]”. If you tap that, it will take you to last reply in the thread, at the very bottom. For example, in this one, the last reply was three minutes ago:
When you’re in the main list of threads, you see at right there’s a time count of the last post in each thread - for example, in this screenshot, the Pets thread is at top, and the last post was 1 minute ago.
If you tap that “1m” (1 minute) at right it will take you instantly to the most recent post:
You can upload memes and pics by clicking on the photo icon in the bottom right of the reply box. Once you click on that, it will take you to your phone’s gallery or files.
