Not Found in the FAQ

Some (probably very dumb) questions that seem best asked here:

1. What does the EN in ENWorld stand for and-or represent?

2. When posting, how do I quote a quote? And, how do I get quotes from more than one previous post/poster in the same reply post? (I know these can be done as I've seen it, but I've no idea how)

3. Is there any setting or something such that when I return to a previously-read thread it'll jump straight to the first unread post?

4. Is there any protocol for posting non-review articles and if so, what is it?

Thanks for the great site!

1. Eric Noah's--the creator of the site.

2. You have to copy/paste the text into <quote></quote> tags (with []'s instead of <>'s, of course)... note this may require a lot of copy/pastes.

3. Not to my knowledge.

4. There's a forum for it somewhere... http://www.enworld.org/article.php?c=1

Yes. Instead of clicking the thread title, click the little icon beside the thread title that looks piece of paper with a starburst on it. That'll take you to the first unread post in the thread. (Or thereabouts, sometimes it takes me a few posts down, but it's usually pretty close.)

A picture is probably easier to understand, so I'm gonna try to attach one. The thing you wanna click is the thing I've put a green box around.

Note that the icon isn't present on threads which have no new posts since you last visited and/or marked threads as read.

Ah, neat! goto=newpost
