    Also remember that it's quite possible that the site does stuff we don't know it does, so if you find anything neat let everyone know please. :)

    My top tip is that if you mention someone with an "at" symbol they get notified and you link to their profile. 
    For example @Sporky

    And as if by magic... next to your avatar thumbnail, top left of the page, the globe icon (which is your Notifications) tells you that someone's mentioned you. Ta da etc. :)

    I'm using my iPhone and my text just becomes one long sentence without the paragraphs. Any tips on that?

    For some reason the editor is off by default on iOS devices. Click the "show source" button and it should turn the WYSIWYG editor on.

    Next to your avatar, top left, there's a cog button. Click that and the bottom option is "Sign Out". :)

    That's the icon with the two red arrows, top right of the "leave a comment" box. (just in case - I wouldn't have known before last week!)

    If using a public/borrowed/work device maybe.

    It was not immediately obvious to me either!

    Loving your work though guys, congratulations. Now go lie down and sleep.

    What are 'Frets' [next to user name]?

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    They are a reputation score - we've not implemented post counts.

    Basically, any time someone clicks the "LOL", "Wow!" or "Wisdom" buttons under your post your fret count goes up by one. Any time they click "Facepalm" it goes down by one. There are badges in your profile when you pass certain thresholds (I think it's 1, 10, 100 and 1000).

    We have Gravatar support so if you've signed up to a gravatar site in the past it should pick it up.

    How does one go about posting images? I've tried the usual Photobucket [IMG] code and it didn't work.

    Just post the raw URL and the site parses it automagically.

    There's a star top right of the opening post - click that and it creates a bookmark section.

    Type the word you want to be a link then highlight it and click the "Insert Hyperlink" button.

    I did write some theory stuff as promised last night, nuffink heavy, just basic scale and chord formulas with examples. I did save it to my computer and figured I'd be able to cut'n'paste it onto a new thread for you guys to use or abuse..

     

    I can't cut'n'paste it to here.

     

    Any ideas anyone? preferably without having to type it all out again.....
