Have you noticed those four tabs at the top of each thread you open? There's 'Thread Tools', 'Search Thread', 'Rate This Thread' and 'Display'. I'm gonna walk you through each of these tabs, how to use them and why they're so helpful. Today, I'll tackle the 'Thread Tools' tab.

There will be three sub-sections to this, so hang in there and read through everything. :cool:

Thread Tools - Show Printable Version

Ever read a post so outstanding that you wanted to print it? Maybe a recipe...a joke...a massive slam? And maybe you only wanted to print that one post and not the entire thread, so a screenshot may be a hassle? Here's the way to do it. Just click on that 'Show Printable Version' in the pull-down for the Thread Tools. This is an example of what you'll see when you do:

So easy! :cheers:

So now you've found something that you really want to email to all your friends and family (and no, not dokken's blonde joke!). Here's how you do it:

Just click on the 'Email Page' link on the Thread Tools pull-down menu. It's all so simple and here's what you'll see:

Just pop the name of the person you're sending to, the email addy and you can add/edit anything in the subject and message lines. So simple! :idea:

Thread Tools - Subscribe to This Thread

Thread Tools - Subscribe to This Thread

The last bit on the Thread Tools tab is probably the one you'll find yourself using most...this is the 'Subscribe to This Thread' link.

The reason you're gonna love this bit is because there will no doubt be a thread that you just can't get enough of. You want to know instantly of there's been any activity on it, the moment it happens! Or maybe not-so-instantly, but you're so busy, you'd prefer something more like a reminder? Simply use the 'Thread Tools' pull-down menu, click on the 'Subscribe to This Thread' link.

Once you've clicked on that Subscribe link, you'll see you have options!
