Popular Post Treamayne Posted May 31, 2024 Popular Post Posted May 31, 2024 (edited) Here's a collection of good-to-know items. Please suggest more if you think of something I have forgotten. Updated 25 Jan 2026 WHERE SHOULD I POST Spoiler Welcome new Sharders - there has been a siginifcant increase in posts made to the wrong forum section. Please note that main Fourm Page has handy descriptions for each section, and these descriptions should guide where content is posted. The headers for the sections Give broad categories: 17th Shard - This section is for Administration of the Forums, Discord, Coppermind and Arcanum (Not book Discussion) Includes Policies and Code of Conduct for all Shard sites Brandon Sanderson - This section is for Sanderson Fandom (Not book Discussion) Spoiler Zone - This section will only show when one or more new release(s) are in their Spoiler Period Any Discussion of a new release book belongs here. The Cosmere - all book discussion for Cosmere books not in a Spoiler Period belongs here Non-Cosmere Works - All book discussion of books outside of the Cosmere (except Curiosities) belongs here Related Works - All discussion of Curiosities and non-Book publications (Essays, Podcasts, etc.) belongs here Community - All Social content (games, general discussion, clans, RP, etc.) belongs here (Not book Discussion) Each Forum inside those general categories has a description of the content that belongs in that section. For example: Cosmere Q&A New to the cosmere and want to know more? Have intensely deep questions and want cosmere experts to answer them? Here you can ask anything you desire! Spoilers are allowed, except for upcoming/new releases. Use this section to ask questions - not to discuss theories or ideas Questions here can have the correct answer marked, making it easy for new members to search and find answers to common queries (see search tips below) Cosmere Discussion Post discussion for the cosmere at large, Shards, Hoid, or general Arcanum Unbounded content here. All spoilers are allowed, except for upcoming releases/new releases, which have their own forums for discussion. Use book forums if your post only relates to a single series. A section for discussing two or more Cosmere works/worlds Discussion on a single topic is better placed in that book/series specific forum SPOILERS Spoiler Most people do not want to be spoiled, and most of us do not want to inadvertantly spoil something for you. Please consider mentioning in your Intro thread (if you made one) or your profile description what books you have or have not read (whichever list is shorter) Note: If you use a Status update to post this, then it could be quickly lost if you are also posting other status updates Likewise, please make sure you have reviewed the Spoiler Policy (and all the other policies our mods put a lot of effort into crafting so we can have a great community) and correctly tag thread titles (if the post will have spoiler information - Thread titles themselves should never have spoilers directly as they can show on the main page) and correctly spoiler tag appropriate preview and new release materal (everywhere) or outside topic material (e.g. Reckoners reference in a Rithmatist thread; Mistborn reference in a Stormlight thread). Note: On the forum main page, each section has a handy description saying what kind of threads belong in that location. Examples: Spoiler Introduce Yourself! New to our community? Post a topic here letting us know that you exist! NOT for spoiler discussion; use book discussion forums instead. Cosmere Discussion Post discussion for the cosmere at large, Shards, Hoid, or general Arcanum Unbounded content here. All spoilers are allowed, except for upcoming releases/new releases, which have their own forums for discussion. Use book forums if your post only relates to a single series. Creator's Corner For all you aspiring writer or artist types, here's your new home. Making Spoiler Tags: In the editor click the "Eye" Icon (second section, fourth icon) to create a spoiler box, then type your information inside of the box Alternatively, you can type the information, highlight it, then click the Spoiler Icon (this does not play will with bullets and numbered lists) Note: A Quote box and Spoiler Box function similarly, as they can both be collapsed into a single header, but the quote defaults "open" and the spoiler defaults "closed" Nested Quotes and spoilers can produce weird results - so you are less likely to have formatting issues with a Quote inside of a Spoiler, than a Spoiler inside of a quote (which wants you to open the spoiler before expanding the quote) WHAT ARE ALL THOSE ACRONYMS Spoiler These are not required, but may often be used without definitions and/or context General: WoB = Word of Brandon WoP/WoI = Peter, Isaac (etc.) RP = Role Play SU = Status Update OP = Original Post (Poster) - The first post in the thread, or referencing the Sharder that made that post OT = Off Topic (comments that are not directly connected to the OP) Rep = Reputation Points (See below - Reactions) SPAG = Spelling and Grammar BLUF = Bottom Fine Up Front (Summary at the top of a post) TLDR = Too Long, Didn't Read (Summary at the bottom of a post) Cosmere: Spoiler General PR = Physical Realm CR = Cognitive Realm SR = Spiritual Realm SW = Spirit Web WH = Worldhopper MoI = Manifestation of Investiture = Magic AU = Arcanum Unbounded (the Cosmere Anthology) Mistborn E1 = Era 1 (2,3,4) 11M - the Eleventh Metal TFE = Mistborn: The Final Empire WoA = Mistborn: The Well of Ascension HoA = Mistborn: The Hero of Ages MSH (M:SH) = Mistborn: Secret History AoL = The Alloy of Law SoS = Shadows of Self BoM = The Bands of Mourning TLM = The Lost Metal A/F/H-<Metal> = Allomantic (Feruchemical, Hemalurgic) <Metal>. Examples: A-Steel = Allomantic Steel, F-Iron = Feruchemical Iron Hemalurgy is a special case, so be careful - H-Tin could mean either a Tin Spike or a Spike charged with A-Tin or F-Tin. It's usually better to just say <metal> Spike with <charge> and avoid the H prefix, for clarity. Stormlight Archive: SA1 (2,3,etc.) = Stormlight Archive Book 1 (2, 3, etc.) TWoK (WoK) = The Way of Kings WoR = Words of Radiance OB (O) = Oathbringer RoW = Rhythm of War WaT = Wind and Truth = (Formerly KoWT / Stones Unhallowed (TSU)) Warbreaker H1 (2,3,etc.) = First heightening (Second, etc. ) T1 (2,3,etc.) = BioChromatic Entity - Type 1 (2,3,etc.) May require clarity between original and revision numbering TES = The Emperor's Soul Secret Projects SP 1 (2,3,4,5) = Secret Project 1 (2, etc) TotES = Tress = SP1 = Tress of the Emerald Sea (T)FW = TFWHfSME = SP2 = The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England YNP = YatNP = SP3 = Yumi and the Nightmare Painter TSM = SP4 = The Sunlit Man IE = IED = IotE = SP5 = Isles of the Emberdark Other: TDO = The Dark One FORUM ANATOMY AND BASICS POSTS Spoiler This list is for familiarity, and will be explained in depth below. At the bottom left of a post you will see a "+" icon, a "Quote" link. At the bottom right you will see an heart icon (and possibly different reactions in the future). Formerly an Arrow if you see posts mentioning those At the top right you will see a hamburger menu (three dots) which shows: Report, Share, and (your posts only) Edit and Hide tools. If your post is the thread original post (OP), in the edit screen you will also see a "Hide Topic" Moderator Options tool to the right of the Thread Title In Q&A you will see an up/down vote next to a Answer response If you posted the question to Q&A, then you can mark a post as having answered your question Note: Q&A is for direct questions, please post theories in the appropriate Discussion forum. Plain Text: Note: When pasting HTML text (from this site, other sites, Words of Brandon (WOB), Coppermind, etc.) you will get a toaster on the bottom of the edit window asking if you want to paste as plain text. This will allow you to remove "formatting" from many sources (but will also remove links - which may or may not be desired) to have nice, clean post text. Pagination The third icon from the right on the editor is labelled "Page." In the editor it will look like a line rule (thin line across the whole editor) where everything above the line is one "page" and below the line is another "page". Once you post, there wil be a "next page" (and "previous page") button at the top and bottom of the post, allowing readers to break longer threads into pages to reduce scrolling long posts. Example REACTIONS (a.k.a. Reputation (Rep), Likes, Upvotes, etc.) Spoiler The Heart Icon (Like) is how you thank people or "like" a post Likes, Mentions and Quotes should all send an alert to the appropriate person (if they have that turned on) - even when added to an old post through the Edit feature. Current Limit is 20 per 24-hour period Formerly an "up arrow" in case you see that referenced in older threads The reasons and why somebody uses this tool for any given post are as varied as the number of people on the Shard Discussed here Reputation is based on these reactions, upon which your "Rank" is based - which is really just a fun in-joke of Sanderson references that you can achieve. Most recent rank list Gripe or Boast here More Titles (The fan initiative to brainstorm title ideas from Brandon's work - so it may be easier on Admins to update the titles list if they decide to do so in the future. REPORT TOOL Spoiler Use the Report tool to report any post (your own or others) to a forum Mod. Examples: Use this if you see a thread that might be in the wrong place, such as a Mistborn thread referencing other series, so it really belongs in Cosmere Discussion Use this if you do accidentally double-post (sometimes it's the browser or a slow link that causes a double post) - just leave a message that it was an accidental double post and the Mods can fix it. If it was the first post of a new thread that doubled, they usually can merge the threads if they both have responses, so all of the content is retained. Please do not post the same thread in multiple forums; but if you do, you can report them so the mods can merge them into the most appropriate location This is much less common than it used to be For reporting Spam, only report a single post by each user to let the Mods and Admins know - they get messages for each "report" so reporting each Spam post is annoying and unnecessary. If all posts by a "new user" (bot) are all spam - then all of those posts will be deleted when that account is deleted. HIDE TOOL Spoiler Use the Hide tool to hide your post if you want to remove it after posting (useful for accidental double-posts) Hiding the first post in a Thread will hide the thread as long as there have been no replies (Needs Testing) If you are the first post of a new thread, you should also have access to "Moderation Actions" (above the post, right of the Thread Title and Tags) which will allow you to hide the entire thread MENTIONS Spoiler You can "Mention" a person by typing "@" and slowly typing their user name (spelling matters). As you spell their name, the interface will show a pop-up with matches - when your match appears, click it to add the Mention Likes, Mentions and Quotes should all send an alert to the appropriate person (if they have that turned on) - even when added to an old post through the Edit feature. QUOTE METHODS Spoiler The "Quote" link is exactly that, when you click it a quote of that full post will be added to the reply at the bottom of the thread wherever the cursor is (adding a carriage return if necessary) Quoted posts do copy Spoiler tags, but do not copy other Quote tags If you have already started to reply before you decide to quote you can then add the quote before or after your text depending on the cursor location when you click "Quote" The "+" icon is multi-quote. As you read a thread, if you want to quote multiple items you can click that icon for each post you want to quote As you click "+," you should see a toaster pop-up on the bottom right of the browser window showing how many quotes you will have They are added in the order you click the + icon, not in the original post order, so you can set the order of quotes for your reply When you are ready to reply, click on the toaster pop-up and it will take you directly to the reply section and add the quotes automatically with one blank line between each for you to add your comment(s) You can also highlight a small section of a post and, when hovering over the highlit portion, click the "Quote Selection" button that pops up. This will also be added to the cursor location, rather than the bottom of the reply. Properly quoted sections will also have a curved arrow button on the right side of the quote title bar, this will link back to the post from which the quote was taken Editor - Second section, second icon will create a quote box that is not attributed and does not have the link back, but can be useful for some quotes or for posting references and such Note: A Quote box and Spoiler Box funtion simlarly, as they can both be collapsed into a single header, but the quote defaults "open" and the spoiler defaults "closed" Nested Quotes and spoilers can produce weird results - so you are less likely to have formatting issues with a Quote inside of a Spoiler, than a Spoiler inside of a quote (which wants you to open the spoiler before expanding the quote) Also note that you can move quotes after they have been added to your reply. For example, you add a quote and realize there are no empty lines below it for you to type - so you can press "enter" before the quote to make an empty line then when you hover over a quote title bar you will see a 4-way arrow at the top-left that you can use to drag the quote up (or down) and move the quote to before the empty line. . . This is also how you can add quotes to an Edit of your own post (see below). You make the quote by using any of the methods above and the quote will go to the reply section. You then hover over the four-way arrow and use CTRL+C/X (PC - or preferred method for your device) to copy/cut the quote, which you can then paste into your edit window. Likes, Mentions and Quotes should all send an alert to the appropriate person (if they have them turned on) - even when added to an old post through the Edit feature. SUPPORT / DISCUSS AND OTHER TAGS Spoiler Support and Discuss tags were introduced here: Introducing Topic Tags: (Extract:) [Discuss] should be used to signal that you are open to: More in-depth digging into a topic Disagreements or challenges to your ideas Debate and collaborative theorycrafting [Support], on the other hand, indicates that you want to: Talk about something that bothers you, without being criticized for being bothered Express joy, appreciation, or enthusiasm, knowing that others in the thread will respond with the same vibe Have a more casual conversation, avoiding nitpicking and debate Tags can go before or after the thread title; but may most effective at the beginning of a thread Title, so they display on the Forum Home page. Bracket Tags can also reference books/preview material to help avoid spoilers for newer readers e.g. Book forums allow content for everything in that series that has passed its spoiler period, but a new read might avoid, for example: [WaT] Kaladin's Oaths (since the tag will warn them not to read if they have not yet finished book 5) EDITING POSTS Spoiler Use the Edit link (three dot menu) to make changes to a completed post or add information to your post if it is the most recent post in the thread (to avoid double posting) Quote buttons will still send a quote to "Reply" section if you have a post open for edit, but it is easy to cut/paste the quote to the Edit box Editing the first post in a thread allows the thread-creator to edit the thread title (important for changing accidental spoilers) Editing allows you to add a reason for the edit (Spelling and grammar (SPAG), formatting, clarification, new information, etc.), but it is not required. Likes, Mentions and Quotes should all send an alert to the appropriate person (if they have that turned on) - even when added to an old post through the Edit feature. SEARCHES Spoiler The search can be accessed from the blue banner-bar (right side) and you can open the advanced search by clicking the magnifying glass icon Basic search is simple, just type one or more words and click enter When in a forum, section, or thread; the search will limit itself to that forum, section, or thread Advanced Seach is rather robust, but can be tricky until you get used to using the tool. Primer: Green - One or more search terms Yellow - Filter by author Does not use the "@" symbol like a mention Orange - Filter by section of the site Topics is the unintuitive label for Forums - when chosen you can pick one or more forums in which to search. Example shown is Cosmere Discussion and Mistborn Blue - Search only thread titles or search all content (which can find multiple hits in the same thread) If the results font is larger, that indicates the search result is the thread's first post Red - Boolean - use this to search all terms or any combination of one or more terms Example: if you were to search "Reading Order" in Thread Titles, but did not set "all terms" it would find threads with just "reading" or just "order" - like Reading Recommendations, What are you reading, Which Radiant Order are you) Spoiler 33 minutes ago, SpiritOfWrath said: It may be worth mentioning in the “Search” section that the search can be significantly accelerated by adding a timeframe, otherwise it may timeout. COPPERMIND AND ARCANUM Both are available from the helpful blue bar at the top. The Coppermind is the Shard's Wiki where you can look things up for all of Brandon's Books (minimal Wheel of Time content as they have their own sources, like TarValon.net). The Arcanum is a collection of most (all known, new pending sometimes) WoBs, Q&As, etc. Basics of finding what you are looking for are detailed below. COPPERMIND Spoiler Go to the Coppermind, you can search a term in the upper right. On the top-right of the page (below the search bar) you will see a circle icon that denotes how "complete" the information is (e.g. solid green means it has all known information, split white/black means unanswered questions, etc.) Like any wiki, links to other pages appear the first time they are referenced While reading you will find notes ([1]) that take you to the references at the bottom of the page. From there, if the reference is a WoB the link will redirect you to the Arcanum post. You can open the link in a new tab, then use the browser "back" button or the up arrow/reference number to return to where you were reading the article When searching a related page, type slowly and pause before hitting enter, the displayed "results" may help find a sub page (example: The Rithmatist/Interior Art for the art page of The Rithmatist book) The Coppermind has a Time Machine that will let you "revert" to before a specific book release to avoid spoilers for that (and subsequent) book(s) ARCANUM Spoiler On the Arcanum, you can read all of the WoBs from a specific event by clicking: Discover > Events, then select an event. You can also go to a specific Tag by clicking Discover > Tags then clicking on the tag you want to view While looking at any given Word of Brandon (WoB - or Peter/Isaac) in the Arcanum, you can: Click on the event name to read all WoBs from that event Click on a tag at the bottom to make a search of all entries with that tag - such as Inspirations The top right of the WoB has a "Copy" button, to easily copy the WoB contents to add to a forum post spoiler tag (please use spoiler tags to keep posts visually short and let new people avoid spoilers if they desire) Also, on the Arcanum, you can search for keywords using the search bar in the upper left While searching a tag, the advanced search will be at the top of the page, so you can keyword search within a specific tag (example: Searching "Roshar" in #Inspirations tag) Please see Argent's awesome post here for much more information In any keyword or tag search the default view will be "accuracy" Refine searches with Boolean (+/& for "and" to combine terms - e. g. Roshar+Coral ) Note that this method is unfiltered and will return more results than the tag and keyword search above But they can be combined, by filtering a tag and using a boolean search inside that tag. You can be set that to "Oldest First" (avoiding spoilers) or "Newest first" (for recent additions) using the drop-down box Annotations can also be found here, though they are posted on Brandon's site linked from their respective book page. For the Arcanum, learn more at Help and Navigation Hope that helps, and please feel free to suggest how we can make this better. TRADITIONS OOKLA SEASON Spoiler Summarized here: - Timewaster's Guide (TWG) Archive On 11/21/2023 at 11:41 AM, Ookla the Pretender said: Ookla Season Cometh! Ookla Season is one of our most venerated traditions here on 17th Shard. To honor the birthday of Peter Ahlstrom, Brandon Sanderson's assistant, we change our names to "Ookla the [Epithet]" on his birthday, November 26th. Most people change back after a week, but Ookla Season doesn't officially end until Koloss Head-Munching Day (Dec 19th - Brandon Sanderson's birthday) in December. So, yeah. Ookla season! Hopefully you won't be as confused as I was my first time around. Ookla was Peter's Forum Name for the Time Waster Guild Forums, which were the predecessor to these forums. Example WoB: Spoiler TWG Posts (May 6, 2005) Peter Ahlstrom These pronunciations are pretty hard to say and don't make much sense internally! How do you pronounce "en" at the end of "Raoden" and "is" it the end of Elantris and "Sa-" at the beginning of "Sarene"? Is it Ray-oh-deen and Ee-lain-trice and Say-ray-nay? Or is it "-en" (as in "end" with no "d") and "-triss" (rhymes with "kiss") and "Suh-" (front rhymes with "Samantha")? Or Because if it's "-en" and "-triss" and "Suh-" then these pronunciations are not allowed by your AEIO rules, and if it's "-deen" and "-trice" and "Say-" then your listed pronunciations are not helpful. <snip> Brandon Sanderson Ookla, You're missing the long/short combination. (EP has it exactly right.) The Aon has long vowels, the rest of the word has short. Maybe I need to make that more explicit. However, reading it, it makes sense to me. <Snip> TWG Posts (May 6, 2005) LOGO CHANGE Spoiler Pride themed logo is used annually on both the Forums and Discord in support of our Pride Fandom On 5/31/2024 at 9:02 PM, Kaymyth said: We did do a Pride theme on the Discord last year. We're expanding, bit by bit, year by year. By 2054 we'll have taken over the entire internet! Muahahahaha! On 5/31/2024 at 9:06 PM, Chaos said: Yes! There is generally much more discussion on Discord, so we do tend to prioritize there as that is definitely more the fandom center these days. (Though really the two areas have diverged significantly.) On 7/10/2024 at 9:57 AM, Mestiv said: The rainbow is spreading! Edited January 31 by Treamayne Updates/SPAG/Clarity 27

For example, you add a quote and realize there are no empty lines below it for you to type - so you can hit "enter" before the quote to make an empty line then when you hover over a quote you will see a 4-way arrow at the top-left that you can use to drag the quote up (or down) and move the quote to before the empty line. . . This is also how you can add quotes to an Edit of your own post (see below). You make the quote by using any of the methods above and the quote will go to the reply section. You then hover over the four-way arrow and use CTRL+C (PC - or preferred method for your device) to cut the quote, which you can then paste into your edit window. Likes, Mentions and Quotes should all send an alert to the appropriate person (if they have them turned on) - even when added to an old post through the Edit feature. EDITING POSTS Reveal hidden contents Use the Edit link (three dot menu) to make changes to a completed post or add information to your post if it is the most recent post in the thread (to avoid double posting) Quote buttons will still send a quote to "Reply" section if you have a post open for edit, but it is easy to cut/paste the quote to the Edit box Editing the first post in a thread allows the thread-creator to edit the thread title (important for changing accidental spoilers) Editing allows you to add a reason for the edit (Spelling and grammar (SPAG), formatting, clarification, new information, etc.), but it is not required. Likes, Mentions and Quotes should all send an alert to the appropriate person (if they have that turned on) - even when added to an old post through the Edit feature. SEARCHES Reveal hidden contents The search can be accessed from the blue banner-bar (right side) and you can open the advanced search by clicking the magnifying glass icon Basic search is simple, just type one or more words and click enter When in a forum section or thread, the search will limit itself to that section or thread Advanced Seach is rather robust, but can be tricky until you get used to using the tool. Primer: Green - One or more search terms Yellow - Filter by author Does not use the "@" symbol like a mention Orange - Filter by section of the site Topics is the unintuitive label for Forums - when chosen you can pick one or more forums in which to search. Example shown is Cosmere Discussion and Mistborn Blue - Search only thread titles or search all content (which can find multiple hits in the same thread) If the results font is larger, that indicates the search result is the thread's first post Red - Boolean - use this to search all terms or any combination of one or more terms Example: if you were to search "Reading Order" in Thread Titles, but did not set "all terms" it would find threads with just "reading" or just "order" - like Reading Recommendations, What are you reading, Which Radiant Order are you) Reveal hidden contents COPPERMIND AND ARCANUM Both are available from the pesky helpful blue bar at the top. The Coppermind is the Shard's Wiki where you can look things up for all of Brandon's Books (minimal Wheel of Time content as they have their own sources, like TarValon.net). The Arcanum is a collction of most (all known, new pending sometimes) WoBs, Q&As, Etc. Basics of finding what you are looking for are detailed below. COPPERMIND Reveal hidden contents Go to the Coppermind, you can search a term in the upper right. On the top-right of the page (below the search bar) you will see a circle icon that denotes how "complete" the information is (e.g. solid green means it has all known information, split white/black means unanswered questions, etc.) Like any wiki, links to other pages appear the first time they are referenced While reading you will find notes ([1]) that take you to the references at the bottom of the page. From there, if the reference is a WoB the link will redirect you to the Arcanum post. You can open the link in a new tab, then use the browser "back" button or the up arrow/reference number to return to where you were reasing the article When searching a related page, type slowly and pause before hitting enter, the displayed "results" may help find a sub page (example: The Rithmatist/Interior Art for the art page of The Rithmatist book) The Coppermind has a Time Machine that will let you "revert" to before a specific book release to avoid spoilers for that (and subsequent) book(s) ARCANUM Reveal hidden contents On the Arcanum, you can read all of the WoBs from a specific event by clicking: Discover > Events, then select an event. You can also go to a specific Tag by clicking Discover > Tags then clicking on the tag you want to view When looking at a Word of Brandon (WoB - or Peter/Isaac) in the Arcanum, you can: Click on the event name to read all WoBs from that event Click on a tag at the bottom to make a search of all entries with that tag - such as Inspirations The top right of the WoB has a "Copy" button, to easily copy the WoB contents to add to a forum post spoiler tag (please use spoiler tags to keep posts visually short and let new people avoid spoilers if they desire) Also, on the Arcanum, you can search for keywords using the search bar in the upper left While searching a tag, the advanced search will be at the top of the page, so you can keyword search within a specific tag (example: Searching "Roshar" in #Inspirations tag) In any keyword or tag search the default view will be "accuracy" Refine searches with Boolean (+/& for "and" to combine terms - e. g. Roshar+Coral ) Note this method is unfiltered and will return more results than the tag and keyword search above But they can be combined, by filtering a tag and using a boolean search inside that tag. You can be set that to "Oldest First" (avoiding spoilers) or "Newest first" (for recent additions) using the drop-down box For the Arcanum, learn more at Help and Navigation Hope that helps, and please feel free to suggest how we can make this better. Oh, yes. This is perfect. (I also see how much you post this list to new sharders.)
LightRinger he/him Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 What’s the best etiquette for when someone accidentally necro’d a thread but you want to talk about it? Do I just respond at this point since it’s back or do I make a new thread?
Treamayne Posted June 24, 2024 Author Posted June 24, 2024 (edited) On 6/22/2024 at 6:48 PM, LightRinger said: What’s the best etiquette for when someone accidentally necro’d a thread but you want to talk about it? Do I just respond at this point since it’s back or do I make a new thread? The Admins and Mods may chime in with a "best practices" solution, but here's an example I have used. Original (Elantris section - spoilers - Cognitive Shadows) Split off (Cosmere discussion, Spoilers - Cognitive Shadows) Generally, I would use the "Quote" button to make the quote response. Cut that (CTRL+X or preferred method by device). Start a new thread. Paste the quote (add extra blank lines, as needed) and also make a link to the original thread. Up to you if you want to mention in the original thread(s) that you are splitting off a post necro to a new topic - the person quoted should still receive the notification for the post where that quote displays, so they should find it there regardless. You can also "hack" this with an older topic that has been closed for replies. For example (Stormlight Spoilers - regarding glyphs and scripts): Right click the "posted date" to copy the post link Paste the post link Make a generic quotebox, then past the relevant section there: Glyph example: Spoiler From: SA Translation Guide Spoiler So, it's been forever since I had time to review and work on my idea (been working midnights all summer, no internet at work). What I alluded to above was that I think I found two pairs of glyphs that are "related;" in that they seem to be mirrors of each other. The remaining six do not obviously follow the same pattern, but it makes me wonder of there are three more pairs with a different or similar relationship. Anybody else see connections like this among the Glyphs? This version may not create a Notification, so you may want to @ Mention the relevant party, if necessary.

Treamayne Posted November 12, 2024 Author Posted November 12, 2024 (edited) Stormlight (and other) Recaps before a new release. 17th Shard may have: One or more Shardcast episodes as a summary or Recap. One or more Recap Articles available, such as: Roshar World and History SA Main Characters SA Notable Characters SA Mysteries Coppermind will also have Summary Pages, and possibly other references, including: <book>/Summary - e.g. TWoK Summary (Chapter-by-chapter summary with character lists per chapter) <book>/Timelines - e.g. WoR Timeline (Shard created reference for disparate timelines in a work) <book>/Interior Art - e. g. OB Interior Art (on the tin) <book>/Epigraphs - e.g. RoW Epigraphs (All epigraphs collected in one place consecutively) This extends to other works as well, such as both Hero of Ages/Epigraphs and Words of Founding as references for reviewing those. It might also need a "disclaimer" such as Defiant (book)\Summary. Hope that helps Edited November 13, 2024 by Treamayne SPAG
Treamayne Posted November 28, 2024 Author Posted November 28, 2024 Edited first post to add Ookla Season information 1
Paladin Stormblessed Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 On 5/31/2024 at 12:13 AM, Treamayne said: Ookla Season Cometh! Ookla Season is one of our most venerated traditions here on 17th Shard. To honor the birthday of Peter Ahlstrom, Brandon Sanderson's assistant, we change our names to "Ookla the [Epithet]" on his birthday, November 26th. Most people change back after a week, but Ookla Season doesn't officially end until Koloss Head-Munching Day (Brandon Sanderson's birthday) in December. So, yeah. Ookla season! Hopefully you won't be as confused as I was my first time around. Finally, an answer. I have been browsing the forums for a while but didn't join until recently and I was so confused. although it probably would be a lot more confusing if everyone's names suddenly changed. 1
Treamayne Posted December 11, 2024 Author Posted December 11, 2024 (edited) As the question has come up more often lately, Here's a primer on Signatures: Go to your account settings (on PC, click the down arrow to the right of your name) Go to the Signature tab Make sure "View Signatures" is enabled Comply with Image size requirements and Line Count Keep in mind that Word Wrap amy be in effect and differing screen sizes and zoom levels may alter how other people see your signature. Consider posting longer things (like friends lists, RP lists, etc) in your Profile and link that SU from your signature. Other formattings (links, colors, bold, italic, etc.) should all work as normal. Please see image below.
