Forum cheat sheet

:D

As the merge comes closer, the forums are winding down. Most of the time, I’m only answering threads that I can do immediately without digging up additional info. That means I also repeat myself quite a bit. In the interest of making sure all those answers are in one place, here’s my cheat sheet. It’s in a text file on my desktop and I leave it open whenever I jump in the forums.
More tips;
- a link to see all the latest posts to the forums
- the right search page
- in Firefox, use the Linky extension to open all unread threads on that page. Just select down the screen, right-click, open all in new tab. Wait until they load, then grab one & start reading/answering.
