How To Make The Best Use Of Old School Forums

  • There are a number of old school forums like Trackaholics, European Endurance Center, and Evolution Modding that can be hard to get used to
  • These forums are hosted on forumotion.com which uses a pretty basic old school PHPBB forum experience
  • Getting Started
    • First, register, confirm your account, and login
    • Increase font size as fonts are often small (CTRL-+/- usually)
  • Quick Links
    • Use View posts since last visit link to find new posts
    • The View unanswered posts link is useful if you're not seeing a lot of stuff
    • You can see your own posts with the View your posts link
  • Monitoring Forums
    • Use the Start watching forum link when you click into a forum to get notifications about new posts in that forum (the link is near bottom of posts listing)
      • You will now get notifications of new posts in forums that you're interested in
      • This is the key to getting more value out of these old forums as it gives you what you're more specifically interested in
  • Email and Website Notifications
    • You can control notifications in Profile > Notifications
    • By default email notifications are enabled, which I find annoying
    • The only email notifications I keep enabled are Friend Requests and Incoming Private and Profile Messages
