discussion Where can I find the highlighted colour thread start 'Do-Dahs'?

[spanner570]

Red = Sorted


Gold = Completed...etc, etc.


These and others appear before the thread title....Where are they please?


Cheers,


Ron

They only show in certain forums, what one are you looking for and where?

Hi John, for a completed diorama.....for sale.....Wanted. Anything really, I just want to know how to access the one I might need in the future.


Do I just go to that specific forum, say 'diorama completed' and the coloured thread title do-dah is there automatically?


Cheers,


Ron

Can anyone help me please?

You have to be able to edit a thread but only moderators can do that

Thanks John. There is a coloured 'Completed' on page 6- it might move to 7 as it's on the bottom of the page....


So only mods. can attach these? I hope I'm not appearing thick on this as you have a shop to run.

I get what you mean Ron, when I started a thread on completed gb's the gold "completed" tag came up automatically in the thread title.

 

[John]

No only mods can edit the thread which you need to do to change the title, at least I think they can, try using thread tools at the top of this page see if you can edit the title

Thanks chaps. I wonder if the gold 'Completed' only comes up automatically on G.B.s and SIGs. Not on your rank and file completed builds, where the word completed has to be typed in manually?

You can add them to the title of the tread when you start it. There is a little arrow do dad when you hold the pointer over that the prefixes that are avaliable will appear.


Not all sections have them. some have more than others.


I'm not sure but if you can edit the title of your own threads, you should be able to do it then as well-


Evidence in the fact that I think you can edit the titles of posts is because I see that a few do it on a regular basis.

I see now..It's only on a few ( a drop down list)


You can edit your thread title, I'm happy with that aspect, it was just these highlights I couldn't find and now I know why.....


Thanks for all your help.

In the for sale or wanted they are a drop down thing on the lfet of the title box ......... If you select "edit title" you can change them. I don't know about other sections.

Thanks again,


Ron
