Is there any way to make new tags? I’ve tried on several new posts and I cannot find out a way. Was this feature disabled?

I can still make new tags. When I edit a topic, I can type out a word and press “create tag.”

Maybe it’s just a master thing?

It’s a master thing, yeah. Given how many Ghid tags exist, maybe TTV is regretting giving me this much completely inconsequential power.

How do you do artificial quotes, like this, over multiple paragraphs?

Additionally, how do you do breaks?

what do you mean by breaks?

I’ve seen people do a break across their post - like a line.

Oh, to do that, type in 3 or more underscores in a row.

Three hyphens, underscores, or asterisks will work

As for artificial quotes, that’s tricky, but can be done

"How do you do?" John asked.

“Terrible,” Fred replied. “My dog died, I’ve been sick all week, and I failed my math test.”

“Oh, cool,” John said. “That’s good to hear.”

“Thanks,” Fred said. “Hope you have a bad day too.”

And here’s what I typed:


<blockquote>
“How do you do?” John asked.<p>

“Terrible,” Fred replied. “My dog died, I’ve been sick all week, and I failed my math test.”

“Oh, cool,” Fred said. “That’s good to hear.”

“Thanks,” Fred said. “Hope you have a bad day too.”

Yeah, you only need the <p> on the first line. IDK why.

No, I don’t have that. (I’m on a P.C. by the way.) Are there restrictions for certain members (i.e. ones on certain Trust Levels), where they cannot create new topics???

You have to hover over the circle.

I thank you so much for your help! I’ve just created a new topic in the “Ask TTV Cast” category in these message boards.

How do you use upvotes?

no one knows.

On certain categories I believe there’s an option to vote. Not really sure how it works though.

On the #ask category, you can upvote up to six topics. The idea is that the more upvotes a topic has, the more likely it is to be seen and answered.

Least, that’s how it would work if anyone actually used it…

Ok, cool, I’ll store that info in the back off my brain then, since I rarely use the ask category anyway.
