Languages are now in the sidebar

Postby emk » Sat Jul 18, 2015 5:06 pm

Hello! rdearman gave me administrative access, and I've been tweaking the forum settings a bit. Specifically, if you edit your profile, you can set the "Languages" field, which will appear on the right, under your image.

LOOK! Over there! →
:)

I think this is probably better than putting languages in signatures, because signatures make even short posts take up lots more vertical space.

Update: You need to have made at least three posts before you can edit the "Languages" field; this is to prevent spambots from filling it up with links to dodgy handbag sales (a favorite spam tactic at HTLAL).

I read that as "sidecar" ... and odd images sprang to mind.

Hmm. Try clicking on your name on the upper right, selecting "User Control Panel" and "Profile". Does that work?

Thanks, emk. By doing as you suggest (clicking on my name in the upper right) I can now access the control panel. Apologies for my too-hasty previous post.

Worked for me, but perhaps because I have privileges. This is probably a permissions issue, so should be something fixable.
