Help with titles in subforum please.

[Linus Knives]

Hey, I can't figure out how to do stuff like this picture "the bold labels before the text" in my hosted knifemakers subforum. I read somewhere at one time that it takes a few days for my account to have the ability to be in control of my forum and to be able to do stuff like that, but so far nothing, and I've had the forum for several weeks now.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
Linus

When you start a new thread,right next to where you type the title, there’s a box with prefixes

I don't see that on mine...
Am I looking in the wrong place?

Very odd. It should look like this, but I checked a few different subs (including yours) and some have it and some don't. Must be a setting somewhere, but whether you can access it, or has to be done by Spark , I don't know.

I still haven't gotten this worked out yet...

Modify is something I've been thinking about too....


How do I get posts to stay at the top, is that called pinning? I'd like to have a couple for showing opinions, what's available, etc?

Thanks.

On the right hand side of the top post, you’ll see three dots. Click that and select stick post.

 

[Linus Knives]

I don't have any of those options in my forum. There must be a setting that has to be allowed on your end?

Not being able to do stickies may be because you don't have mod status?

Yes, that would have to be the problem

What threads?

 

[Crag the Brewer]

What threads?

I didn't make them yet?

Should I make a few generic posts, leave them blank so I can fill them in as needed?

Thanks.

No, just tag a mod when you have a thread or threads you want stickied, no big deal to take care of it.

 

[Linus Knives]

Is there any way that you can make me in control of my thread? I don't seem to have any of the controls that everyone else has for a subforum.

Yep. I didn’t notice that. Only Spark can make those changes.

I've enabled prefixes for your forum
