How Do I…
Navigate in the Forum?
The beauty of our forum architecture is that you have a choice as to how you can navigate content. You may choose to either see content organized by Category, or in chronological order across all categories.
The default view is by Category – meaning that content is organized into our classic buckets (Triathlon Forum, Classifieds, Lavender Room, etc.). You can find that by either clicking the large Slowtwitch word mark above, or by using the left-hand rail navigation to find the Category of your preference.
If you wish to see all recent content across all categories, click Topics in the left-hand rail.
Post a Reply in a Thread?
There are two ways you can reply in a thread. You can either reply directly to an individual user, or to the thread generally.
To reply to a thread generally, scroll all the way to the bottom of a thread, and click the reply button. This will open the dialogue box to create a reply that does not tag any individual user.
To reply to an individual poster within a thread, go to the bottom of that individual poster’s post, and click the reply button on it. That will indicate a direct response to an individual user (while still contributing to the entire thread).
Add an Image to a Post?
Click the picture icon to either upload, or add a link to, a specific image.
Add Spoiler Text?
Say you’re talking about a recent sporting event, or a TV show, and don’t want to give something away while adding to a discussion. Use spoiler text. Type the content that should be hidden by the spoiler text, then click the gear icon, and select “Blur Spoiler.”
Start a New Thread?
Click the New Topic button. Create the thread name. If you are in a specific Category, it will select the Category for you. If you are not within a specific Category, please select one. Then create a post, just as you otherwise would.
Search for Something?
Use the search icon, then search for the term you are looking for. You can limit that search to just the Category that you are in, or to search the entirety of the forum.
Ignore or Mute a User?
If you don’t want to see any content or messages from an individual user, you can do that by clicking on your profile picture, then click the person icon, then click preferences. Then go to users, and add people to either the mute or ignore areas.
Mute an Entire Category?
If you don’t want to see any content from a particular category, you can do that by clicking on your profile picture, then click the person icon, then click preferences. Then click tracking, go down to the Muted section, and add the category you wish to not see anymore posts from.
