SC4D Site Guide

[huzman]

In spite of running four times around SC4D, I couldn't find a guide to know how to do things like:
1) Can one mark read a Single Topic instead of the whole site?
2) Where are the pix and/or downloads of a given topic?
3) There are more questions I'm sure, but let's start with these two... More later. (I'm late for a hospital visit.)

I can answer question number 2.

-If pictures are missing it's because of image hosting issues. In the past years, several popular image hosting websites decided to delete uploaded pictures that weren't behind a paid account. So pretty much everything that was uploaded for free there (safe to assume 90% of the whole database) is gone forever. There are no work around or way to restore it, it's gone.
-If by download you mean attachment, they should still be available. However if you meant links to uploading website, I'm afraid that's the same fate as the pictures.

Thanks art128,
Yeah like someone said: "Photobucket borked the internet".
To expand a little on what I said:
Very often I enter a thread and I find a lot of "Beautiful job!", "awesome", "Thanks", you get the idea... And I mean a LOT of them, so, I start moving backwards to find the pictures they are talking about. I go several pages backwards with no luck, until I get fed up and jump out.
Is there a link to find the pertinent post, even if the pix are no longer there.

A quick edit: In the "Re: Bat showcase", mattb325 posted a topic with lots of shots and a link to the building shown. That's what I meant.

So it looks like there isn't a guide on how to understand the SC4D site. I'm surprised.

well there is at least the "new member area". I mean it's not as handy as a real guide, but a lot of my questions were answered by browsing through that section.

You can find it on the 4th position of the SC4D quicklinks. here is the link.
