I don't think there is a read all anywhere, but you have a mark read for each category from the categories page.

I'll see if I can do anything about the Bottom of Page links. Generally, if something isn't here, it is because the new forum doesn't support the feature, so it isn't something I can simply turn on. Bottom of page links isn't a terribly complicated thing however, so maybe I can make something.

The only way to look at a gallery is to go into the user's profile and select it (or follow a link they posted one). There are no ways to see multiple at once.

The 5MB limit for the gallery should be working now, I believe.

Welcome to the ProFantasy community forum! The purpose of this community is to ask questions, share tricks, and generally learn how to use ProFantasy products. Current patches and tech support are available from the ProFantasy website.

Guidelines

Because our users make up a very active community, some guidelines have been put forth to keep the forum running smoothly and on topic.

1. Please be civil and polite in your postings. We are a friendly bunch of people here, and we'd like to keep it that way. Disagreeing with someone is fine, but please do it in a calm and civil manner.
2. We try to make this a place where everyone can feel welcome, so please avoid sensitive topics like religion, politics or the latest news. What you consider harmless fun may be an infuriating provocation to someone else.
3. Try to stay on topic. A little conversation mixed in with software related messages is acceptable, but please don't stray too far off-topic. Respect moderators closing a topic, if they decide it to be irrelevant.
4. Please try to avoid "Me too" postings. If you agree with someone, that's great; but put some other information in the message as well. You can also use the reactions (like, awesome, insightful, lol) if you just want to show your support without writing anything.
5. In many cases, the answer to your question is already available. The forum is fully searchable, so before you post a question, please click on the "Search" tab above and try whether a few keywords relating to your question bring up an answer.
6. No "Virus Warning," "Help A Sick Child," or any of their ilk. Please keep this spam to yourself.
7. No advertising for sites or products that do not directly relate to ProFantasy.
8. Images in posts are automatically resized to a maximum of 1000 by 1000 pixels. If you want to post higher resolution images, you have your own personal image gallery in your user profile. Images in posts are limited to 2MB, while the gallery accepts up to 5MB. Please consider using .jpg images whenever possible, as there is very little visual difference between jpg and png, and jpg images are about 6 times smaller, which means they load much faster and is much friendlier for people with slow or metered connections.
9. Please DON'T send Private Messages to admins/mods/knowledgeable people to ask for help unless you need to convey sensitive information. These people are not your personal support staff. Post in the open, that benefits everyone else who might have the same problem, and it helps you get an answer quicker, because there are more than one person who can reply.
10. Don't post copyrighted material or anything else you don't have explicit permission to post. Provide a link to the source instead. If you post images that are not your own, make sure to properly credit the artist.
11. If you see any objectionable content, please hit the Flag link in the post to report it. If you are harassed via private messages, please notify a mod or administrator.
12. Please do start your own discussion when asking for help. Asking a question in another thread just because the topic there is somewhat similar to your issue just muddles up the discussion as people try to help you both. Of course, you are allowed to ask follow up questions in direct response to what is being posted, but if you ever feel the need to start your post with "I have a similar issue..." or similar, it is better to start your own discussion. If it is relevant, just post a link in your discussion back to the other one.
13. Posts consisting mainly of AI-generated text are not accepted in this forum, and will immediately be deleted. While AI's like Large Language Models (LLM) can often be helpful to find answers, they often also contain misleading or wrong information. This is especially true for a niche program like CC3+ where suggestions tends to included reference to non-existing features.

We're trying not to bog anyone down with rules, but some order must be maintained. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail us.

Just posted a new blog article over at the ProFantasy blog talking about creating custom symbol groups with random selections. The article is also available as a video. Enjoy.

Welcome to the new and updated forums.

As you can see, the new version do look a bit different than before. The new version doesn't support the same template as the old, and have different elements, so the look has been recreated for the new templates.

Mostly, you'll find things in much the same place as earlier, but here is a short list of changes and new features to get you all started.

I'll write more detailed writeups of some of the features later.

New Editor

The post editor is now a new fancy rich text editor. It allows you to easily use different styles like headings and lists by using the tools in the editor itself, no more writing html codes. It also allows for easy uploads of images, in addition to clicking on the image icon to be presented with a file picker dialog, you can also drag and drop images, and paste them with Ctrl + C.

The new editor should automatically turn any pasted URL's into hyperlinks, and turn links to some special media like youtube into embedded videos.

Profile Data

Your username and password and email is exactly as before, but some of the user data, like real name and custom profile fields did not transfer over because the new forum versions handles things a bit differently. So if you want your real name showing on your profile, please edit it and add it. You'll also want to check your avatar. To edit your profile, click the avatar icon in the top right

Whispers

The new version no longer supports whispers in conversations. Instead, it uses a more traditional Private Messaging system. All old whispers have been converted to PM's. Click the envelope in the top right followed by the All Messages link in the popup to see these.

Notifications

Next to the envelope icon is the notification bell. By default, the forum notifies you of all manner of things. Click the bell and then the settings icon right below it to customize your notifications, and which will be shown just on the bell (popup) and which will be sent as email.

Image Uploads

The forum still has an attachment limit at 2MB for images and other attachments in posts, but now you also have a personal image gallery on your profile. Uploads in the gallery is limited to 5MB per file, which should give you a nice hi-resolution image if you stick to .jpg.

Reactions & Badges & Points & Ranks

You can now react to posts by clicking the like, awesome, insightful and lol reaction buttons. Please don't let these be a replacement for a friendly comment though, it is much nicer to have someone say something, but a like still shows you appreciate something even if you don't find anything to say. Getting reactions to your posts grants you points, which when enough have been accumulated will give badges and ranks, which showcase your community involvement.

Post Editing

A common way of spamming is to post a seemingly helpful post, and later go back and edit it. To prevent this behavior, there is now a time limit for editing your posts. If you really need to edit an old post rather than just post a new comment with an update, contact a moderator. Members with higher ranks have a longer period, since trusted members probably aren't spammers.

Old Links

Not all old links to various spots in the forums will work anymore. I'll update the various stickies and such in the coming days, but if you encounter a link that doesn't work properly, such as in the Interesting Resources sticky, this is why.

Have fun, and go on mapping :)
