Currently, there are a plethora of threads throughout FlyerTalk concerning the performance of FlyerTalk and how to best use it. By launching this thread, I am attempting to provide a consolidated resource to supplement the FlyerTalkers Ask Questions (FAQs) with useful information on how to best enhance one’s FlyerTalk experience. The reason for launching this thread is to make life easier for the information technology staff at WebFlyer, as well as all of the moderators of FlyerTalk and Randy Petersen.

This thread is to be used as a service to all FlyerTalk members who not only have questions to be answered by fellow FlyerTalk members about how best to use the new vBulletin bulletin board software, but also as a place for FlyerTalk members to share their favorite methods of customizing and using the new FlyerTalk to help enhancethe experience of other FlyerTalk members.

Finally, please remember that not every suggestion is right for everyone. This is not the old FlyerTalk where customization was quite limited. Hopefully, however, this thread will serve to be very useful to virtually every FlyerTalk member.

I will begin:

First of all, the MyFlyerTalk feature is absolutely incredible. I subscribe only to the forums (fora?) that I want to view regularly. Each forum displays the latest post in the most current thread and who was the author of that post, as well as the time it was posted. What a time-saver this is for me!

Once I enter a thread, I click on the link at the top-left of the window which allows me to jump to the latest post unread by me. After I read all of the unread posts, I then scroll to the bottom and click the Top link, which instantly brings me back to the top. I then click on MyFlyerTalk to go back to my customized FlyerTalk page while simultaneously updating every thread to display the latest post added to each thread!

For me, this method of browsing the new FlyerTalk saves me so much time versus the previous method of browsing the old FlyerTalk.

-----------------

My apologies, as I currently do not have much time to impart more helpful hints, tips and suggestions for other FlyerTalk members to fully enhance everybody’s experience. However, I will impart more information over time.

I now cordially invite other FlyerTalk members to ask questions and impart helpful information in this thread.
