Tips for getting around the new GC.

[AlphaFrog]

Those of us who headed over to GeekBoards have worked a little with this format, and can help a little when it comes to finding things and using features of the new GC. Also, as others become more familiar they can probably add here too what they've learned.

So, add tips here for what you've learned about the New GC, and ask questions if you're having trouble.

Changing fonts - instead of just [ font = symbol] you may have to put quotes around "symbol". (I believe it depends on your browser, computer settings, etc).

Editing posts - Click "edit" and fix your post, then click save.

From the front page GLO Specific forums can be found under the Greek Life forum, and the General Chats at the bottom. You will have to click in the solid blue box.

The post box now has a SPELL CHECK. Rejoice in the fact that there is no longer a need for your posts to look like a 13/F/Hickville in a chatroom.

Please add to as you find new features, and ask questions!!

Uh oh, I have to leave, there is a parent looking over my shoulder
Talk to you at some later time, casual online acquaintance who I'm going to refer to as my boyfriend even though we've never met and those probably aren't your pictures you're sending to me."

Oh no! What will happen to EarpSpeak?

New tip: If you mouse over the title of a thread, you can read the first few lines without actually clicking in.

So what do you guys think of the "related threads" down at the bottom... I didn't even see them until now...

Dang, I just noticed them!!! That's pretty cool. Instead of telling people to do a search now when they post a thread that says "How do you feel about hazing?" for the umpteenthmillion time, we can tell them to scroll below.

I think John is playing around with things a little bit, too, so who knows what will change.
