How do I...

Struggling to find easy way to find all threads created by given user. If I go to their profile, there is a find drop down that allows it but not sure why I can't just use the search function.

Yeah, same here.

Using the stock search gives you every post of theirs, not threads.

If you go do Advanced Search, and even do Search Threads, and check the 'Display as threads' option at the bottom, it still includes threads that were not started by that person, for some reason.
 
Since tapatalk is gone is there a way to have different themes on different platforms? E.g. I used forums on both tapatalk for mobile and my PC when at my desk. The darker theme seems to look not too bad on mobile but I like a lighter theme on the PC.
 
Is the dark theme still available? I really liked it.

Just click on a username on a post, then click on their name again on the small pop-up, and it will take you to the member detail page, for example: https://forums.arcade-museum.com/members/andrewb.64461/

Then right under their rating score, simply the 'Find' drop down and 'Find all threads by andrewb'
 
I have the same question. I'd like to set it back to 10. I liked clicking every 10 posts

i made a quick FAQ addressing common questions like this one.

 
How do I change the default 20 posts per thread/page to a higher number? I don't see this setting anywhere in the preferences...

This is currently set for 20. It is system wide setting, not user delectable. That said, we may add custom coding in the future (and possibly near future) to address this.
 
I like the new format but is there a way to attach images to a conversation when using a mobile device? There is only the option to insert a URL for an image.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Two items I noticed this morning:

1) Previously, when you posted pictures, there was a size limit, but KLOV would automatically resize the picture to an acceptable size. This no longer happens. Now you just get a "picture too large" message. Bummer. I know I can resize pics, but it definitely was a nice little convenience to have KLOV automatically resize pics as needed/necessary.

2) Previously, if a user had the feature turned it on, there was an option to be able to email the person ("send email to ..." when you clicked on the person's ID), without needing to know their email. I don't see that as available anymore. Bummer. I guess I'm going to have to change my signature.

Two questions:

1) Are there instructions on how to embed a video link? Anything specific for a youtube link?

2) Can this thread be made a "sticky" so it's easy to find?

1) Hey, thanks for removing my avitar!

Looked but couldn't find the the bb code link someone posted earlier. The same codes work like [youtube [/youtube but the system will likely just do it for you with a [media something] when you cut and paste the link in.
 
Question on privacy settings. what is an identity? I changed it to nobody but not sure what it is.
Pretty certain my news feed is just people I follow or were friends with in the past. Totally different use case now. I can't imagine why anyone would want to look at my news feed.

Answer this man! He's an upstanding member of the community, and should be shown more respect than this!

I have spoken.

The trophy system is mentioned in the Frequently Asked Questions post i made.

  1. think that is an admin feature none of us can touch. will have to bring that up with them.
  2. Pretty sure it already is
  3. youtube and other popular media links can just be pasted into the quick reply frame and they will show up fully embedded. No need for complex BBCode
  4. email a person has been replaced with tag a person feature. see the FAQ
