Thread functions

[Sinner_sb]

While I am admit to being a somewhat older member of QQ, I will also admit that I know very little about thread functions and this is the one that I am trying to remember but cant:

How to I Mention a fellow user? I mean in the way that not only warns said user that I mentioned/tagged him or her, but makes the mention a link to said user's profile.

After seeing it in some other threads in the NSFW and SFW story threads I have been wondering how can I add more threadmark labels/types to my own story threads, beyond the extra, index and the one just called threadmarks.

Can anyone tell me how?

The list of threadmark categories is predefined by the software. Users have to choose from the list of options. Creating a new threadmark category requires one of the admins to edit configurations on the server. I think there's like five or six categories counting the "staff post" category, though, so your number seems low to me.

I've never run a thread, so I'm guessing with this part, but:
When you go to threadmark a post, there should be an option to select a threadmark category. I expect it to be a dropdown menu. Just choose whatever category you want here, and if there aren't already threadmarks for that category in your thread, the forum will start showing the category to readers.

Does that address your question?

Not much but thanks for trying.

When I am using the threadmark system here I get the option for the general threadmark, index and extra, nothing else. I wanted to add another option for my story called rules, where I would post the rules of the story, it is a gamer story, so people know that what isn't allowed in the story. My current non-story posted one relates to adding new characters not from the setting that the story takes place, it is for me not to add countless new waifus nor readers to ask for their favorites. Later if needed other rules would be added if I don't want to just write them in the chapter notes or just make a new post.

I did some digging, it seems that you have identified all the threadmark categories available to you.

The way to do that would be to create a post for rules, and threadmark the post with a title mentioning something appropriate about rules. On SB or SV, such a post would be expected to be found under the "informational" category. We don't have that here, so I would put it under "index". Later if you need more rules, you might edit the post or create a new post with particular rules and threadmark the new post as well.
