I'm old and cranky. I don't want to learn new stuff

You mean in the thread? No. Thats your trigger to like their post and welcome them.

[soyleche]

Yeah, in the thread.

I’m not going to do those thing, so it doesn’t really accomplish anything. It’s easy enough to ignore, though, so not a big deal.

Is there a way for me to post a video directly from my iPhone? …or would I have to upload it to somewhere like YouTube first and then link it here?

I can see how to post a picture but not a video.

Edit: oh, I finally found it…photo library—albums

Edit^2: maybe not…

[Celalta]

YouTube. This is the only way I have found to do it. I mean I assume there are other video upload websites, but you do need to upload externally and then use a link.

How do you spoiler text in GoA?

Using spoilers in your posts

Just found another site thingie. I got promoted to advanced user, possibly due to my rugged good looks. That triggered a custom post from the site (discbot). I expect only I saw this. The post turned into a tutorial thread. The bot posted instructions, I responded by following the instructions, and it interactively took me through a bunch of site features. Turns out we have a spoiler feature. [details=“Spoiler Text”] This text will be hidden [/details] e.g.

Spoiler Text

This text will …

@spacelobster, any chance you would consider implementing the in-line blur feature? It’s nice for brief things.

[SpaceLobster]

In the other places you use this, does the blur replace the spoiler tag, or do you have both features?

[Lucy]

They have both.

[SpaceLobster]

It’s on the agenda for the developer. Not super high priority (and they’re buried right now) so it might be a few weeks. I’ve advised him to keep the spoiler tag instead of replacing it.

Is there a way for me to find all of the threads/topics that I’ve created in a particular forum (specifically, software-technology)?

I know how to find all of the Topics I’ve created.
I know how to find all of the Replies I’ve made in a particular forum.

Oh…wait…never mind…in the advanced search side bar, I found the drop-down under “Only return topics/posts…” where I can specify “I created”.

All’s good that ends good.

Is there a way to get a thread to not show up in “latest”, but still show up if I go to “categories”? If I want to unmute a thread, it is actually quite hard to find it.

Do we have a thread for smiley suggestions? Because…

@twig93

We really need the :yikes: emoji.

just doesn’t cut it.

Also, :toth: would be nice to have.

I miss :swear: and :shake:

Emojis

Are we able to add emojis? Here are some emojis from the AO that I feel like were used often: :troll: :ohnoes: :oops: (you can use instead) :ctm: - ok, didn’t have an emoji on the AO, but it should have! Here are some AO emojis that are here, but different: What emojis are there on this site that we didn’t have before that people think we will use?

We do have a thread for it, I don’t know what the process is to add them.

[BruteForce]

@SpaceLobster got them added very quickly back when we first asked. He may be willing to add a few more if you ask nicely. Hopefully he still has access to the old AO emojis.

[Celalta]

Someone found them on the way back machine, I think that’s linked in the other thread also.

[SpaceLobster]

I dont specifically have them but if you’ve got a URL and a preferred short code I can add them easily.

[SpaceLobster]

Also I really felt this one was going to take off

[soyleche]

It’s too big. And it’s the kind of thing that’s cute the first couple of times you see it, but loses its shine quickly. IMO, of course.
