New to The Sand Trap? Little Things Members Expect and Ask of Fellow Members

1. Multi-Quote

It grinds people's gears when you respond, minutes apart, to multiple users with multiple posts. This forum has the ability to let you respond to multiple posts inside of one post. It's called multi-quote, and it's useful, and virtually required.

 
Quote

Replying with a multi-quotation allows you to respond in line to another poster and include context to your replies or to reply to multiple posters within the same reply.

  1. Navigate to the posts you would like to respond to.
  2. At the bottom of each post, on the left, you will see the "+ Multi" button. Click it (it should change to a check mark) on every post you want to quote.
  3. When you are satisfied with your selections, click the "Quote n posts" button floating in the bottom right corner of your browser window to quote the posts.
  4. You'll be taken to the text editor with the posts you selected quoted.

2. Embed Videos

This forum will embed YouTube and Vimeo videos, and we strongly encourage you to embed videos of these types. Just paste the video URL on its own line, press return, and the video will be embedded. Here's a page with more detail and a video on how to embed videos: http://thesandtrap.com/how-to/embed-videos .

3. Search

Please search for an existing topic before starting a new one. Even if a thread is years old, we'd rather you bump the old thread with a new post than to start a new, virtually identical thread. This forum has been around for almost a decade - there are a lot of topics.

4. Set an Avatar

You're sent a PM about this when you sign up. If you don't set one, one will be set for you when you hit between 10-25 posts, typically.

5. Add your Name

Just a suggestion:

Have you thought about adding an automatic multi-quote function if a user posts more than 1 post in a set amount of time?  That would eliminate a lot of the multiple posts without causing an awkward user experience.  I have used forums with this and it's a cool feature.

Not an option on the current platform. Talk to us in a month please.

As promised… this feature now exists.

6. Watch the Line Spacing, Please!
On IPS (the software that runs this site), a single press of the return key starts a new paragraph with a blank line in between. There's almost never any need to press return twice. (Shift-return moves you to the next line if you ever need to make a tighter list with single-line spacing.)

This is a new addition to the list.

@iacas ... I can't get the @ user name function to work like it did on the previous site.  How does this work on this site.

@No Mulligans it works the same way. You type the username, wait a second, and select the username from the menu.

I have problems with this on my computer.  I have many times put the @ symbol and then started typing a name, waited and not had it come up, it can be temperamental.  I just tried it again and it did not work.

Thanks, maybe I just need to wait longer

Did you try it again @No Mulligans

It's been working great for me the last couple weeks. Just make sure to give it a couple seconds after the you type the @ and the username.

Is there an "edit post" option that I'm missing? I want to do updates to my 2019 goals as a log, but don't want to clutter the thread so I thought editing my original would be a good way to go. But I'm not seeing that option?

You can't edit a post after too long.

That topic isn't for tracking progress, right. You're asked to share your goals once at the start of the year, and then at the end of the year we put up a topic for discussion of whether you met them or not.

The best place for progress updates is a Member Swing topic.

    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).
