In every topic at the top right hand side you will see the Edit tags button. This is there for all members to be able to add a tag if they think the topic needs one. See picture below on how to do it.

Advanced Tag Search

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:18:07 +0000

With the introduction of tags, the AussieCompers forum is now a powerful comping tool. You can simply click on a tag anywhere in the forum to see other competitions with the same tag.
We use tags to make comping easier to find a particular type of comp or a particular prize.

Each forum has some quick links at the top such as when you click on NEW WEB COMPS and you will see the 'how to post a competition' text and then below that you will see the quick links to popular comps.

However sometimes you won't see a tag on the front page's Popular Tag box - so you will want to search for a tag. The following picture shows you how to do that. Simply click on the settings button next to the search form at the top of every page and then you will be able to search by tag only. Or search for a tag in certain forums - the choice is yours.

So to start you simply click the advanced search button which is shown here:

This is found at the top right hand corner of every page in the forum

You will then be taken to this screen and I have put instructions in the picture on how to perform the search:

I have marked the picture below that shows you what to click to see a preview of a topic. This is viewable in any of the forums and also in the view new content page.
You can even preview a topic and mark it as read if you are not interested.
Please note:

You have to actually mouse over a topic for the icon to show itself for you to click for the topic preview.

View New Content

At the top of every page at AussieCompers you will see at the top right hand side there is a button called VIEW NEW CONTENT.
If you click this button it will take to all the latest content in the forum.

Once you click on that button it will take you to a new page that looks like this:

You can choose to view the content that you have not read, or only the content that has been posted since your last visit or in the last week, month etc.
If you don't want to lose this page you can hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard down while clicking the link and it will open a new window for you. Otherwise just click the link and when you are done you simply hit the VIEW NEW CONTENT button at the top right corner - it appears on every page!

If you ever have any questions don't be afraid to ask either by making a post in the forum or using the contact us tab at the top of each page.
