Title: Forum Usage Rules & Tips Post by: anwar on March 24, 2009, 06:02:18 PM For the benefit of new users, here are some tips and tricks on using this forum.
1) To upload images along with a post, expand the "Additional Options" link at the bottom while posting. 2) If you want to get email notification when new topics are posted in any board, use the "Options" drop-down on the right side while viewing that board, and choose "Notify" from the drop-down menu. 3) If you want to post Youtube videos, just paste the normal Youtube link (like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxxxx), the forum will automatically do the embedding. 4) Avoid using capital letters too much as it is considered "shouting" ;) 5) Do not "Quote" previous posts, as it is plain duplication (unless you are trying to answer a specific point from a previous post, in which case, quote just one or two relevant lines only from the previous post). 6) We would love to see more pictures and videos on the forum. Feel free to post pictures of your models, with their main components, and videos of them flying/racing. Nothing is more fun than seeing models in action ! 7) Please refrain from using SMS language/shortcuts on the forum. Take a few seconds more and write in full sentences... that makes the matter easily readable to everyone. More... coming soon..... 8-) Title: Re: Forum Usage Rules & Tips Post by: anwar on June 16, 2009, 01:00:50 PM Now you can "Bookmark" topics that are of interest to you. While viewing a thread, just use the "Topic Tools" drop-down menu from the top right, and choose "Add Bookmark".
You can view and manage all your bookmarks from the "My Bookmarks" option in "Quick Links" sub-menu from the main menu. Title: Re: Forum Usage Rules & Tips Post by: anwar on September 01, 2009, 03:52:25 PM One more thing to note..
Please be careful about the spelling of subject/heading of new topics (i.e. "topic names") when you start new threads. Since the subject is used to create the URL (web link), any spelling mistake will cause the link to be ranked lowed in search engine rankings (like on Google and Bing), and also in local searches on rcindia.org itself . This will prevent others from reaching the topic you started, when they start looking for the useful information you have already posted. So please be extgra careful about the spelling of topics you start. |
