Did you know that if you click the little “down arrow” icon just before a thread’s title it’ll jump you down the the first new post in the thread??
Hell, I usually scroll down and try and find my place!

Of course I knew that, how dumb do you think I am. Sheesh.

Allow me to add to your find. I found out only recently that you could do this…
On the “Search” page, you can save your preferences. Since I almost always search only upto “Find posts from: A week ago”, I used to change that setting each time from the default “Any date”. One fine day I just selected “Find posts from: A week ago” and clicked on “Save search preferences. Go.” and now it remembers the setting for me.
Similarly, you can save other preferences like forum, sort order, show results as, etc.

There’s also a spot where, if you click on it, it will do your laundry, including sorting and folding. But I ain’t sayin’ where to click.

I’ve got one of those spots, it’s a linen basket upstairs. I throw all my dirty clothes into it and a few later they appear in my wardrobe all clean and ironed.

There is a spot in each forum that when you click it you can see the a picture of the mods for that forum NAKED!

No, that’s been disabled after a class action lawsuit for pain and mental anguish.

There’s also a spot where you click on it and intense waves of orgasmic ecstasy suffuse your entire body.
But you have to buy the premiuim membership to enable it.
