can some one plz tell me how to make a Poll thread? thx


Certainly!

First, make a new thread in the appropriate forum.

Second, look for the words "add poll." It is near the top of the screen, next to the words "New Thread" and above the subject line.  For example:

Gaming Discussion - New Thread (add poll)

The "add poll" part is actually a button you should click on, even though it doesn't look like it.

is there a way to search for forum topics? sorry if this has been answered already, or if the answer is very obvious. newbie here :3

There used to be, but now there is not.  What I do is use Google's Advanced search: just go to Google,  click on "Advanced Search," type whatever term(s) you're looking for in the search box, then put "http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/" in the "Search within a site or domain" box.  It's not perfect, but it's surprisingly effective at helping me dig up really old posts.

Oh, and welcome to the site!


thanks for the tip!

any idea as to why they removed that feature?

No, but i wish they hadn't.

Not a one.  The update last June eliminated a ton of great features, and I've never gotten a satisfactory answer as to why.  We did, however, get more ads on the site!  Yay!

 #11  How do I start a new thread?

The process is quite simple. First, make sure you're logged into your account. Then, click on the "Forum" button, located at the top of the screen, between "Videos" and "Community." This brings you to all of the site's sub-forums. Select whichever one is most appropriate for your thread. In the upper right hand corner, there is a button labelled "Create New Thread." Click on that button, and you'll come to the same screen that you see when you're editing your posts. From here, you'll have access to the entire toolbar, so you can include images, embed links, and do everything else you want to from the get-go. Simply post whatever topic starter you want, create an appropriate title for you thread (see the rules), click "Post", and sit back to watch the flame wars. Please note that the topic title is limited to 75 characters.

 

The problem I'm having is there isn't a "CREATE NEW THREAD" button in the upper Right Hand Corner. There is nothing there at all. Why amy I not able to create a NEW THREAD on the forums?

I'm fairly sure you have to have posted 100 or 150 times or something in the forums before you can make a thread.

Really should be added into those rules.

You meet all the prerequisites, so it should definitely be there.    From where it says "Forums - Website Discussion", go directly to the right.  It's a green button that now just reads "New Thread."  Let me know if it still isn't there.
