It's on the main page under the chat box.

I don't know if this has been said but, please correct me if I'm wrong here. I don't see a way to search for terms or words within posts. Can only search for words within the name of a topic. Like if I search up "Smother" I only get results of topics with the word "Smother" in the title.

I'm sure if you just searched Heather in the thread title, you'd get the same results as if you searched "smother" inside the posts.

That being said, you can. That's about the extent of my knowledge atm.

Should have known I'd get a response like that.

I just watched the Big Lebowski. He was in that movie.

That category is called "news". We can assign it to any forum we want, promo is the only one that currently seemed appropriate.

- is there a formal etiquette for ongoing threads? Should I finish active stuff in the old forum before moving over? Or is it up to the individual RPs?

Some people are moving everything first, some people are finishing their match on the old board and then moving everything.

View your posts is directly below the chatbox. I can't speak for how accurate it is.

So can I. But I put it there in the first place.

I've modified profiles. They now include both location and title. I changed 'humor' back to interests, and added a stopgap solution field where you can put the url of your blog (linking is not active on the profiles. Highlight, right click, open link in new tab).

I'm considering reactivating gender and changing the options to 'friction' and 'tension'
