An introduction to the TexAgs Advanced Forum Tools


Tracking conversations is now much easier

Now that you have our advanced forum tools enabled, you can jump right back into forum topics where you left off.

If you are on the mobile site, you will see the number of new replies underneath the reply bubble (see diagram here). Just tap the reply bubble to jump to the first unread reply. 

If you are on the desktop site, you will see the number of new replies to the left of the total replies (see diagram here). Click the new replies to jump back in.
 

The Watchlist

You can also use the Watchlist to jump back into a topic where you left off, no matter where you are on the site. It’s very simple: the binoculars icon at the top right will turn blue when there’s a new reply to a topic that’s in your Watchlist. Simply click the binoculars, then click the number to jump to the first unread reply.

There are three ways to add a topic to your Watchlist...

  1. Start a new topic (added automatically)
  2. Post a reply to a topic (added automatically)
  3. Click the binoculars icon at the top of a topic
     

Private Messages

You can now send private messages (or “PMs”) to other TexAgs users. To send one, just click the mail icon at the top right to go to your inbox. You’ll then see a “New Message” button. Alternatively, you can just click a username in the forums and click “Private Message.”
 

Night Mode

To enable Night Mode (available on mobile only), tap the menu icon and then “Night Mode.” There are two Night Mode settings...

  1. Manual: Simply turn it on and off as you please
  2. Auto-Detect: You can set the site to auto-detect your device's night mode setting. As you turn your device's night mode on and off, the site will automatically change as well.
     

We hope you enjoy the forum tools! If you have any questions, feel free to post a new topic on our Tech Support Forum or contact us directly.
