Many Links on GoDiscussions are broken, what is wrong?

GoDiscussion is going through a rebuild of the site from a major failure. Some links and features are not yet working, but there is active work on fixing them, please be patient. The main forum features are working.

How do I post a board diagram?

SL's method for Go Diagrams has been used on GoDiscussions. The one major difference is that all diagram code must be surrounded by:

 [go]
 -- Diagram --
 [/go]

You need to replace "-- Diagram --" between the go tags with the code for the diagram you want to post.

For an example see this GoDiscussions [ext] post.

Also see: How Diagrams Work.

How do I see the diagram before submitting the post?

Use the preview button on the edit page.

How do I post an SGF game record?

Posting a game record works very similar to posting a go diagram. It is a Flash-based viewer written by Alexey Birukov.

 [sgf]
 -- SGF text --
 [/sgf]

You need to replace "-- SGF text --" with the SGF code for the game you want to post. If you have an SGF file that you want to post here, open the file with your favorite text editor and copy the complete contents between the sgf tags.

The viewer can handle variations.

For an example see this GoDiscussions [ext] post.

How do I do whatever it was that he/she did in my own post?

1.) Click on "Quote" to quote someone who is using the feature you would like to use.

2.) Observe the text that they typed.

3.) Modify that text for your own purposes.

To give an example of how this is useful, to find out how to post a hidden section, simply quote a post with one in it. You'll then see that the text was surrounded with [hide] and [/hide]. Easy!

I keep getting E-mails when people post to GoDiscussions. How do I manage this feature?

  • Click on User CP in the upper left hand corner.under Control Panel Settings and Options,
  • Choose Edit Options.
  • The second section is Messaging and Notification. In that section, under Default Thread Subscription Mode, is where you control how often (if at all) you are notified when someone responds to a thread you have subscribed to.

When I review a product, how do I add a rating (a number of stars) to my review?

On the left of the review screen should be a picture of the book's cover. Under that picture are five stars. To give a four star rating, you click on the fourth star from the left. (For a different number of stars...)

I have <you name it> problem with KGS
