A support sub forum will help.. some stickys up top..

We had something like that on the old Webs forum, John, or at least this 'How to' thread:
https://egewebdesign.co.uk/seiko7a38arc ... his-forum-
But It was just lumped together with all the other stuff under General Discussion.

Do you think it would be worth creating 3 sub-fora under Welcome / General Discussion:
Announcements
Introductions
Forum Support

Absolutely, yes. That would give you a nice welcome and support area for people.

You're absolutely right. That was one of the failings of the old forum.
So much stuff didn't get read, because it was all lumped together, with too many stickies at the top.

BTW, I nearly missed seeing your 2 newest posts. I thought the forums were set at 25 posts per page.

[Seiko7A38]

By the way, I've increased the number of posts per page to 20 (it was set at 10).

Just to see if I could, I also moved the entire thread from 7Axx Discussion to General Discussion.

John. As a test, I'm just going to see if I can edit your original post, to see if I can remove the unnecessary quote.

What happens if you just copy and paste (read dump) a full length eBay URL into the post window, without using the link icon ?

Will the forum software automatically shorten it, or not ?

It does.
