    Recently there have been several mentions about discovering how to use the various links and features that are available with the MDS forum software.

    This post is an attempt to point out some of the hidden features that can make your daily use of the website more enjoyable. Please feel free to add your own tips to this thread as well.

    Thread List Links
    While in the thread list there are several links that make it easy to get direct access to the information you want. The image below gives you details for each of the links:

    The last link for the thread count is an easy way to see who is posting the most in a single thread.

    Quotes in Threads
    When you are in a thread and someone quotes a previous post in that thread, you can click the blue arrow to go to that specific post in the thread.

    If you click the underlined number to the right of each entry in the "Who Posted?" pop-up it will list all the posts in that thread by that person.
    Which can be entertaining in and of itself :)

    Here's another handy feature a lot of people don't seem to know about - subscribe (and unsubscribe) from a thread...
    without actually posting "subscribed" or other white-noise in the thread.

    select appropriate under the "Thread Tools" in the thread header.
