Need someone's attention, but feeling ignored? TAG them. This is a super handy feature, sends an alert to their timeline. This is especially helpful in areas, such as, a feedback thread, or when asking a specific question. If they have not participated in a thread, they may have no idea you have info for them.

Put an @ before their screen name.

Hi @JuicyLucy, how's the kitties? As opposed to just typing her name. Start their name, the system will pop up with options for who you want. upload_2018-12-28_13-57-43.png
This is super helpful, especially if you're not sure how they spell their screen name, like *ahem* @f1r3b1rd. :wait:

Your account and profile stuff!! This can be super handy.

This only works on a computer. I rarely use my phone for viewing. Doesn't work on Tapatalk, and really not sure about web view from a phone.

Hover over your screen name at the top right of the forum.

All those options listed, make for quick access to more frequently used links. If you need more detailed information, click on Personal Details. You have tons of options listed, on the left, including the option to change your screen name.

See "Your News Feed" under Your Profile Page? When you click on that, it shows you recent posts made by people that you follow. I've heard a few people ask, "What does following someone do?". I found this one out by happenstance, one day, because I didn't know, either.

Trophies..... no one has been able to answer this question, LOL. I don't know what trophies do for anyone. :wave:

They are so us weirdo types what enjoy reliving the wild carnal pleasures of sticking our tongues into washing machines may relive those experiences. We likes them because we can keeps them on shelves on our walls. You know how severely the F.B.I watches out for our kind around washing machines? Neither do I but I bet they do, they need something to do. Before you ask why, ... consider "because I could." If you could, you would too. It's so satisfying! I'm shuddering remembering it.

I might try this after I get my feet going better on DIY. Lol. Probably better for me as a blog on certain things that may come up as well. Thank you! :)
