A Guide To The LTT Forums

[gloop]

This is a guide to the LTT Forums, created by myself, @gloop. It will guide you through anything and everything there is to know about this great forum and the even better community.

 

It is quite a long guide, so I would advise you to read it on Dekstop, not on mobile.

 

Also, while this guides you through a lot of beginners questions, it is not a Quick Start Guide. If you do not have time to read this, I suggest your read @iamdarkyoshi's Quick Start Guide to the forums:

 

Spoiler

 

The guide will be split into different chapters, which are then split into subchapters. A Table of Contents will located at the top of the guide, and will assist you with navigating it.

 

[Chapter 0 - Navigation and Table of Contents]

   [0.1 - How to Navigate this Guide]

   [0.2 - Table of Contents]

 

[0.1 - How to Navigate this Guide]

 

For this guide, I will be using the navigation that is also used in @Eschew's Introduction to Mechanical Keyboards. To navigate the post, use the key shortcut CTRL + F to bring up your web browser's search function. Then, look at the Table of Contents and find the Chapter or Subchapter's unique number. After you have located the number, proceed to type it into the box that appears in the top left corner of your web browser. To go to the result(s) that are found, press the Enter key. If there are multiple results, press the Enter key multiple times to browse through the results until you find the item you searched for.

   [3.2 - Choosing a Title]

   [3.3 - Text Editor and Writing Your Post]

   [3.4 - Responding to Answers]

 

[3.1 - Choosing a Subforum]

 

Before you start writing your post, one of the most important decisions is what subform to post it in. As I have listed all subforums above, I will leave it up to you to choose what subforum to post in.

 

If you have posted your topic in the wrong subforum, do not panic. Simply click the report button and select 'Posted in Wong Subforum' as the reason. The Moderators will then move it to the correct subforum for you.

 

[3.2 - Choosing a Title]

 

When choosing a title, make sure it is relevant to the question/topic you are raising. People may not help if you use a vague title such as HELP PLZ or title. 

 

For my example post, I will be asking for a Motherboard recommendation for my imaginary computer build. I used a title that was relevant and descriptive of the question I was asking.

Spoiler

[3.3 - Text Editor and Writing Your Post]

 

When you are creating your post, you will be typing the body inside of the text editor. There is a list of buttons in a row at the top, which I will go through here.

Writing Your Post

 

When you are writing your post, try and think that your are going to be the one answering the post, rather than the one writing it. It is very difficult to answer a post if we have next to no info. 

 

For my post, I am looking for a motherboard for a Ryzen 7 3700x. I will include:

• My budget and currency
• CPU I will be using
• Stores I will be buying from
• Preferred size

 

My post is as follows:

Spoiler

After you have finished writing your post and spellchecking it, click the Submit Topic button and your topic will be submitted!

 

[3.4 - Responding to Answers]

 

Once you have submitted your topic, you should receive replies pretty quickly. I personally received 3 different replies in 5 minutes for my topic. Once you have read the replies, you will probably want to respond to them. To do so, we will go through the buttons at the bottom of each post.

 

• '+' Button
  • This is for multiquoting people.
• 'Arrow' Button
  • This is for quoting people.
• Share the post
  • Share the post using the URL or on Twitter, Facebook or Reddit.
• Mark as Solved
  • This will set this reply to the 'best answer'. It will appear at the top of the post in green.
• Report this content
  • Use this if the content is inappropriate or in the wrong subforum, and the moderators will deal with it accordingly.
• '@'ing Members
  • as an alternative to quoting members, you can also '@' them.  To do this, first type the @ symbol, and then start typing the rest of their name. A pop-up box should appear under the text. Select their name, and the '@' should turn orange. It will now notify them when you respond.

If we want to reply to some, we should use the Quote button. When you click this, it will automatically put their post in a text editor. Type out your reply and then click the Submit Reply button to submit your reply. The people you quoted will then receive a notifications, and so forth! And that's the basics of making a thread, and responding to people on the LTT Forums.

 

Once you are finished with your thread, remember to to mark one post as Solved so someone can see which was the best option in the future.

[4.1 - Reactions and Reputation]

 

Alongside the row of buttons at the bottom of a post, there is also a Heart icon. This is where you can give reactions to posts. If you hover over the Heart icon, a pop-up list will appear which includes:

• Heart Icon
  • 'Like' the post
• 'i' Icon
  • The post was Informative
• Laughing Icon
  • The post was funny
• Tick Icon
  • You agree with the post

Whenever you react to a post, the author gets 1 reputation. You can view your current reputation count by going to you Profile, and then looking at the Community Reputation option.  Alongside this, you will see a word below the reputation count. Here is the list and count of reputation you will need for each upgrade:

• 0 Rep - Neutral
• 50 Rep - Liked
• 100 Rep - Helpful
• 250 Rep - Notable
• 500 Rep - Famous
• 1,000 Rep - Admired 
• 2,500 Rep - Idolized
• 5,000 Rep - Legendary
• 10,000 Rep - Mythic
• 50,000 Rep - Awesomeness in a Box. There are currently only 2 users with more than 50,000 rep: @nicklmg and @Den-Fi.
• An admin has hinted that there are higher tiers, though we don't know the rep needed or the title that will be used. 

[4.2 - Following Users]

 

If you find a user that you like, you are able to follow that user. You will then receive a notification when they post a status update. To follow a user, go to their profile. On their cover photo, there is a button labelled Follow Member. Click on it to follow the member.

 

[4.3 - Status Updates]

 

To post a status update, click on your profile menu in the top left corner of the screen, then on Update Status. Type what you would like, and then click Submit Status. A notification will be sent to all your followers that you have updated your status.

If you've made it to the end, then I have one thing to say: thank you! If you have any suggestions to add to the guide, please leave them in a reply and I'll see if I can get around to them, along with any spelling/grammatical errors. I'll try and keep this guide updated, but it may fall out of relevancy.

Love this guide! Any chance you can add tagging members to the section where you talked about quoting (unless it was elsewhere and I missed it)? 

I'll add it there in a minute, thanks for enjoying it!

side note: is there a tier list of the current tier lists? seems like we've got a lot of em lol

Don't think so, the 5 ones I added were the only ones I could find.

Where's the paragraph for joining, doing all this stuff for the first three years, then just devolving into shitposting all day for your remaining years on the forum until one day you just get super board and leave?

That’s added after I leave for 2 years and then come back.

Use spoilers for each "chapter". Otherwise, no one will even attempt to read this.

hey just for disclaimer's sake: i didn't contribute to the core material in that tier list thread, so please refer to the active members in that thread

 

(which is to say may i have my tag removed from that thread and the relevant section in this guide please? thanks)

 

@gloop

From what I can see you aren't included in it, or I might just be blind?

Sorry for taking 1 week+, got around to adding it there.

I appreciate the criticism, but personally I find that reading posts when they are in spoilers hard and it gives me a headache. Furthermore, I went to the effort of telling people how to navigate the guide using the relevant number. If you want to skip to the end, just use CTRL+F to search for 6.1 and navigate to it.

Would be nice, if the ranking progress can be explained. I can't find any information on the ranking system. Btw: The one that goes like Newbie, Rookie, etc.

There really isn't anything to it as its just default with the software used. Its not used for anything forum wise or really means anything overall. Here is a post that may help answer/explain what you're looking for.
