#1058487 - 19/01/2012 18:39 Test thread for WZ?
ThunderBob Weather Freak Registered: 23/01/2011 Loc: Sarsfield, East Gippsland, Vic	Would it be useful having a Test thread among the WZ forums? I'm sure some people (perhaps me included ) have some reservations about uploading images, videos etc and putting links in postings fearing they'll make a mess of it. If there was somewhere folks could experiment without fear of making a nuisance of themselves in the forums they might feel more relaxed about extending their participation. Mods could clear the thread as often (daily/weekly) as they wish: nothing there would be of on-going value - just experiments. If such exists and I've missed it ... just excuse my ignorance and direct me to it. What are people's thoughts?

SkyScaN Cloud Gazer Registered: 6/08/2004 Loc: Sydney	Sounds like a plan. why not make this the test thread, since this is where you started it? I cannot see why it would be an issue. Any decent forum admin would allow such a thread, as long as nothing beyond the rules is posted ( so don't test if you can type offensive words here or not ).

ThunderBob Weather Freak Registered: 23/01/2011 Loc: Sarsfield, East Gippsland, Vic	Thanks for the positive comments SkyScan. Let's also see if anyone else comments. I'd hope that it would be a permanent thread to which new participants would be guided (as an aide if they required it) when they register. So thanks and let's see what others might say.

Sir BoabTree Meteorological Motor Mouth Registered: 7/02/2007 Loc: Townsville Dry Tropics	Most forums have what is called a Sandpit where new members can play to their hearts content and try out features but not leave a permanent post. i.e. upload a photo, try some formating of text etc. Whatever is posted is wiped out after x number of hours. But in the mean time you could try starting a thread in the Lounge and using the Preview button to see what your posts look like. There are a couple of guides on how to do stuff which you can find by using teh Search function but if you need a hand with anything just PM me and I see if I can help you out. OK to help you out first you need to explore a couple of functions such as clicking on Switch to full Reply Screen where you can do most of your text editting putting in links etc. You can also use manual code to do all sorts of things. _________________________ Rain YTD 1234mm May 0mm Teh WZ Spullin Knig - Dyslexics Untie Just because you are offended by something I post doesn't always make you right.
