Editing you own posthttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/25591-editing-you-own-post/ I often find the 5 minute limit to editing my own post too short , because I left out a phrase or several words etc

I think 15 minutes would much more reasonable and less frustrating🙂

Quotinghttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/22852-quoting/ To quote one poster:

Click on the "Quote" in that other post and it will automatically be added to the very top of a new dialog box. If allowing a new dialog box to open automatically, you will not be able to add your own comments above the quote.

Alternately, if a dialog box is already open, adding a blank line before the quote is accomplished by pressing enter so that the cursor moves down the page.

If you want to add a quote anywhere in your existing post that already contains text, clicking on the "+" of the other poster will insert the quote at the current position of the cursor.

After quoting someone, and if you are adding your own commentary, please be sure that the cursor is located outside of the quote box, otherwise your commentary will seem to appear as if the other person made your comments as well.

_________________________________________

To include multiple quotes in one post:

Toward the bottom left of each post is a "+" sign shown here:

Screenshot_20200104-165039.jpg.0b0ce131c3951f9809c39e3b76575c08.jpg

Click on the "+" for each poster that you wish to quote. Here, I've clicked on 3 separate posts, and a box will appear toward the lower right of your screen.  To include these, simply click on the box that says "Quote 3 posts" and all of the quotes will appear in a new dialog box that will open automatically. That box looks like this:

Question on adding a New Topichttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/17843-question-on-adding-a-new-topic/
When I tried to enter a new topic in the main forum, it automatically brings up the last topic that I added in the subject. If I delete that and start over, does that delete my original post? It did not do this when I started a new topic in this Help forum. I'm sorry if I'm dense.

Attachments - adding, deleting, managinghttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/17544-attachments-adding-deleting-managing/Using Attachments

Adding an attachment to a post can be made by clicking on "choose files..." located at the bottom left of the reply box.  This will open a box to choose a file located on your hard drive or removable storage media.  Locate the file for attachment, click on it to select it, and click "open". The file will be added to your post.

Attachments that have already been used in the member's posts and that are listed in "My Attachments" may be used again by clicking "Insert other media" found at the bottom right of the reply box, clicking "insert existing attachment", and choosing one from the existing list that will be shown.

"Insert other media" also contains a selection that allows insertion of images using an internet URL.

 

Finding your attachments

Members will find their attachments list by clicking on their user name and from the dropdown list, click on "My Attachments".  The list includes links to each post that the attachments are posted in.

 

Deleting Attachments

Attachments that are used in posts can't be deleted from the "My Attachments" list.  In order to delete a specific attachment, the poster must first go back and edit the post(s) that that particular attachment is used in before deleting of the attachment is allowed.  The reason for this is to try to eliminate broke links in posts, so please keep in mind that deleting a link to a document containing technical advice or content may alter the usefulness of your post in that topic.

 

Deleting Attachments in PMs

The forum's private messaging allows the use of attachments. Please note that if a PM is deleted without first editing it to remove an attachment, that file will stay on your list of attachments and you will NOT be able to delete it.  ETA - the system automatically removes PM attachments when all participants have left the conversation. 

Consider using a file sharing site other another method

At the time of the forum upgrade, Eric suggested using a site such as Dropbox for public file sharing so that documents containing technical advice or content wouldn't be deleted later in the future due to a user running up against the space limitation allowed for attachments, wouldn't cause broken links in posts, and so that posts still contain the relevant information if someone is searching for forum in future.

Alternately, consider quoting a cite or source, or linking to helpful websites.

Eric, why the double space on enter/carriage returnhttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/17365-eric-why-the-double-space-on-entercarriage-return/Eric,

Before the upgrade, we used to get single spacing when making a carriage return/hit enter.  Now it is double spaced.  I am guessing that you are using Word as your editor for these posts, and the great and powerful gods of Microsoft have declared that that is how the defaults should go.

Can I change the settings, just for me to have a single line when adding a carriage return?  If yes, how do I do that?

If not, can you change it globally, and if so are you willing to change it for everyone just because I don't like it the way it is now?

Thanks Eric.  Appreciate all you do.

Uploading pictures, etchttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/15316-uploading-pictures-etc/Hey Eric,

 

For the last two weeks, when I try to upload a picture, I get a message that the picture is too large.  Do I have too many pictures uploaded?  If so, where is the list so I can clean it up?

 

Is it really better to link the picture from a hosting service rather than uploading it?

 

Just need to know how to proceed.

 

Thanks again for all you do!!

Warning systemhttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/13173-warning-system/The warning system applies to the entire ATX Community in an attempt to keep things friendly.

Here's how it works:

  • Any warning you receive will expire after 30 days.
  • When you get a warning, you will not be able to post again until you acknowledge that the warning has been received.
  • If you accumulate three warnings within a 30 day period, you lose the ability to post for 3 days.
  • Every warning received above 3 removes posting ability for three days.
  • The only way to reduce your warnings is to behave yourself and let them expire after 30 days.

All of these things are automated by the system, except for the actual handing-out of warnings by the moderators, who will do their best to be fair and consistent.

How the "Report" function works, why to use ithttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/13172-how-the-report-function-works-why-to-use-it/The report function works by alerting the site administrator, Eric, and the moderators of problem postings, and it gives us a visual indicator on our main page when new reports have come in without us having to read every topic or postings within them. The report is specific to the post , the system references it automatically, and gives us a link directly back to the reported post so we don't have to search for it in order to see it. If multiple members are each sending reports on the same post, the system groups all of the reports for any one thread into one line item and gives a tally. From there, we can look at any comments that may have been sent, and gives us the chance to decide if a warning is warranted.

Using the report function doesn't hurt the member whose post it is, and it doesn't cause the system to automatically generate the warning point.

When "report" is clicked on, it opens a box to enter a comment about why you are reporting that post. Comments may be helpful for us to know your feelings but aren't necessary. It could be some short phrase, for example:, advert by spammer, attacking another, vulgarity. It doesn't have to be short, but it could be that easy, and it's easier for us to all see what the group thinks are problem posts.

Remember that Eric may not spend much time on here and he certainly skips many of the tax topics because taxes aren't his thing, and moderators time may be more limited once the busy season rolls around. We might miss postings or the topics in some of the forums we don't frequent regularly line the alternate vendor subforums, but some spam was occurring there that could easily have been brought to our attention.

People have been using it, and it is a lot easier for the Admin and moderators than to have each of us getting separate PMs, having to search for the post in question, and then for us having PMs back and forth.

No one should feel like they are being a tattler or whiner if they report a post. If anyone here thinks he or she is being attacked, that person shouldn't feel like they are being a whiner or being too sensitive by reporting a post they feel is an attack. That is what the report function is for.

Can't change my avatarhttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/7270-cant-change-my-avatar/Hey, Eric or KC. I can't change my avatar. I want to use a .jpg on my computer, only about 60 KB. I use browse and the address shows in the box. Then, it either stays the same (Alex playing flute) or the same stretched wider, or nothing. But, I can't seem to upload a different picture to use as an avatar. I tell it to remove the old one; and I tried not removing the old but uploading the new. In fact, the old one is stubbornly there even though I have supposedly removed it many times. Now, I just changed my signature and added a family picture on my profile, but this avatar is stuck! Want to post my son and his new fiancee. Thanks for any help.

Birthdayshttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/5567-birthdays/I am just curious. Taxbilly usually handles the birthday wishes to everyone, but just in case he is absent I try to look at the bottom of the page for members having a birthday today so I can back him up. I noticed 10SorTax was listed as having a birthday today, but when I looked at his or her profile, it said they had no birthday on file. Which is right?

To Eric - a place for good articles? An Archive?https://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/5503-to-eric-a-place-for-good-articles-an-archive/Eric,

KC posted a really good article on cancellation of debt. Is it possible that the site can handle an archive where these types of articles can be placed for future reference? I know you already do a lot for us, and if this is too much, just say so. I would put it on my computer, but I would forget where I put it.

I was thinking the moderators could be the only ones to put these articles in, and the members would only be able to read them so it does not get clogged with a bunch of junk.

Thanks for all you do.

Is it possible to add a "return to forum" at the bottom of the page?

When I click on a topic and scroll down to the new replies I have to scroll all the way up again to return to the forum. Having a button at the bottom of the page would eliminate those key strokes.

Thanx,

state sectionshttps://www.atxcommunity.com/topic/2447-state-sections/Is there a way to have different sections for the different states? Some state are difficult to search for, for instance if you only use the state abbreviation in a post, it won't come up on a search because you can't search for 2 characters.

Or maybe even just new sections for the states with the most posts, and then a misc state section? Or just create the sections as the posts for each state gets posted?

Or make a rule where you have to type in the entire state name at least once?

Anyone have an idea?
