Getting back to the "home page"

@Panther @barnee

Thanks everyone.

I’ve seen questions about clicking topics and how to get to the end of a discussion. There are a few things to know about topics and navigating to posts.

Pick up Where you Left Off

First, the forum keeps track of where you left off reading for every topic. If you’ve never read a topic then clicking the topic title will take you to the first post. If you scroll and make it to post number 26, then the next time you click that topic, you’ll start on topic 27 (if there are 41 posts then you’ll still be sent to #27 so that you can read 27 thru 41)

I don’t know why the gif isn’t animating but if you click the title, scroll a few posts into the topic, go back, click the title again, you’re exactly where you left off.

You need to be logged in for this to work.

Jump to End from Topic List

Next, just like the old forums, you can jump to the last post of any topic by clicking on the date in the last (far right) column of each topic. The links are highlighted in yellow below

Quick Navigation in a Topic

While you are reading a topic you can also jump to the end or the beginning very easily. A the the top of a post in the title bar there are some navigation controls.

Double arrow up: first post (circled in yellow below)
Double arrow down: last post (circled in orange below)

The single arrows are basically page-up and page-down.

If users upvote your posting by klicking the heart symbol

this adds to your “reputation”.

Additionally there appears to be a “reward system” that adds for example 200 “points” once your post count exceeds 20,000, regardless of what you have posted (including for example TripleA turn postings).

So “reputation” is the sum of all upvotes (maybe subjective quality, maybe a simple confirmation of taking notice) and quantity (mass posting reward), which - benevolently - might be interpreted as reward for long time membership.

@DMcLaren I fixed this. It’s a stopgap but at least it’s working!

Is there a way to “auto-read” or hide all of the “Play Boardgames” forum posts? I like to browse the “Show unread posts since your last visit,” but it’s always full of people posting their league matches, which I really don’t care to read.

I found that if I go into these boards and “Mark all read” it clears the list up nicely, but I was wondering if there was some setting I could use to do this automatically.

Turn 1

Buy 2 transports and 3 Infantry Take E. China with all available fighters and Infantry except one infantry in Manchuria and one in Burma Attack Pearl Harbour with All Avaliable Naval Unit (except Transports) and 2 Fighters and Bomber Load Guys in French Indo China Burma

Turn 2

Buy 1 Transport and Infantry Attack Manchuria, Soviet Far East, Sin Kiang, and India (Bring in Fleet to attack Manchuria/Soviet Far East

Rest of the Game
countinue moving west so that you get to the border of Moscow by Turn 4. By this time you should take some transports take Hawaii, New Zealand and Austrailia. You should begin moving guys into the middle east and then later Africa.
