First question, why can't we search forum threads anymore? Having to go page by page to see if my question was already asked seems extremely time consuming.

Second question, how does the extra quest buff work? why does it wear off so fast?

Any help is appreciated! I've been on a long hiatus

Thanks

it only works for Wizard, and gives you one extra quest. It's intended to be a special bonus if you've already done your ten or fifteen if you had a GA. If you haven't done them yet it's a kick in the butt to get them done. It is possible to get all fifteen done even if you've done none of them with a slow computer, I have done this.

As far as searching threads, if you don't see it on the first page here you are welcome to ask it. There are some forums with special rules with how many topics you may have on a page and those forums specifically say so in their own forum rules stickied at the top. If you look at the top of this subforum you can only see a general thread covering posting on-site, so this forum has no special rule like that.

Subeta is well indexed with Google. Use "site:subeta.net" as one of your search terms and type in your question and you will likely find a thread. Keep in mind that any thread older than 3 months should be left alone. This is a necro and is disallowed here.

Thank you very much. I've been gone for a while and quite a bit has changed.

you are welcome. I know that posts on just about every thread in Welcomes & Introductions with a bunch of helpful links. If you've been gone for awhile these may be useful to you to read. There's also a Frequently Asked Questions & Answers thread in this subforum that is a big tome to read all at once, but often you can ctrl+F on it with a well chosen keyword to find out what you want to know there too.

Anyhow, if you have more questions start up another thread and we can answer them for you, or add them in here.

is there anywhere I can go to see recently posted topics and/or posts? This would make it so much easier for me to participate in the forums.

topics that you haven't seen before get marked as unread. Mark everything everywhere you want to read as "mark all as read" and then any new topics will stand out. Other threads that you have read or marked as such that appear above those threads will be threads with something new. If you have posted on any of the threads but chose not to subscribe you will see a mark next to those threads that offsets them.

You can go to User Dashboard- Preferences and choose Aggregated News Feed to see official annoucements, and you can Forums- Admin Posts to see what staff is talking to people about. Your friends can show up on your Friends Feed (in User Dahsboard too? not sure)

thanks, that will help a bit.
