Making a Thread or Post have the same process.
1. Select Actor. "Change" who you post as
1. Select Actor. "Change" who you post as
If you have more than one character attributed to your WA account be sure to select which one you're responding to the Thread with.
If your character has a profile picture uploaded and but still posts with the default WA image, contact Twylark. Most likely your character doesn't have specific Nika-drawn HTML Art attributed to your character's profile within the HTML Wanderpus World View. Twy can link the two when art is completed (through portrait raffle streams or gameplay) and uploaded.

Oh, Here's a fun thing we just learned.
If you reply to a thread with a Dice Roll included, you can't edit or delete it later!!
If you posted a reply without a Dice Roll, joke's on you, you can't edit one back in!
So thank goodness for the Testing Forum for Everyone!
Because I never post something without editing it at least twice immediately.
(Tag Twy on Discord to delete posts etc.)

Linking to Articles & Characters in Forums
In WA, you can't “AT” anyone to tag or ping them.
(Thankfully we have Discord for that, player information
in the Character Manifest Google Sheet. DM with consent.)
extra thoughts I didn't want to erase yet
Internally, Authors can AT an article or character article (that's how users can hover over a linked article and get a sneak peek (like the Character Manifest above)) HOWEVER, only Authors can apparently do that in WA's Discussion Boards... because y'all as users don't have access to our library of articles like that, that's just not how WA built it.
Note: Us three, Nika, Alan, & Twy are Authors. We can have other co-authors but are capped at like 10, so that's not a solution to the fact that y'all can't make your Forum posts dope with easy-to-link Lore.
Most likely Twy will add a new column to the Character Manifest of every character's WA's "Person:ID" or "article:ID." and then explain how to manually force being able to make your RP posts pretty & useful for all -- UPDATE: welp, below is instructions to manually do it, but no column in the Manifest exists yet. Bug Twy about it if it matters to you! For example, to link the Character Manifest in WA, the BBCode is actually ___ that's the article ID I'm referring to. not an easy boi to find as a user. I'll make a resource for y'all soon.

1. Go to the bottom of any World Anvil Article, like Character Manifest and look for the "Copy Article Block" button.
Tedious Instructions
Examples
Ex 1 BBCode: [articleblock:b2b084b2-9ffa-4c7c-9144-882d960044dd]
Ex 1 Result:
Ex 2: @[Character Manifest](article:b2b084b2-9ffa-4c7c-9144-882d960044dd)
Ex 2: Character Manifest
Ex 3, person: [articleblock:79b259dc-8fe4-4a6b-9909-0506bd4145fc]
Ex 3, person: Ex 4, person: @[Joaquin Tsamoudakis](person:79b259dc-8fe4-4a6b-9909-0506bd4145fc)
Ex 4, person: Joaquin Tsamoudakis
Ex 5: [url:https://www.worldanvil.com/w/html-wanderpus-wanderpus/a/character-manifest-article|tab] WhateverTextHere [/url]
Ex 5: WhateverTextHere
Note: Future Quality of Life update might be adding an extra column to the Character Manifest Google Sheet with article blocks and types preloaded per characters & articles. If y'all actually start using and asking for that, it will be prioritized.
Apparently you can link to User's World Anvil Profile easily, just not their characters
[user:username]
Use the above to link to another user's profile page.
[usercard:username]
Use the above to show a card of a user's basic details.

Replying to a Post
Apparently you can't reply to someone's Thread Reply? idk..
There's no button to easily do so and then have your reply be nested underneath yours. Discussion Boards apparently don't work the way commenting on articles in WA work.. I'm assuming because, that'd prolly be too helpful and make the forums too much like working forums.
Instead, you can copy the post's "block" (the white clipboard looking thing in the top right of someone's post) and paste that in your reply's post (Note: The OOC section doesn't parse BBCode of any kind.) Hopefully the post you're replying to isn't hella long or it'll look annoying af to others. Although you can do a [small] PostBlock Here[/small] to make the pasted OG post smaller in text size at least.. that's it that's all I got for you on that one.. Should we just do comments on articles instead? ughhh... World Anvil...

OH fun tidbit.
Also, if someone made a post without filling out the main text entry section (like populated only the OOC or dice roll section) the white little clipboard button isn't there! Because idk. I don't know why. Because. Becaaaaause. So I guess if you wanted anyone to reply to your posts by embedding your post in their post....don't just post stuff in the Storyteller & OOC sections only.. Just like Type out OOC: in the main section i guess. maybe slap a header around OOC, like [h2]OOC:[/h2] I gueeeesss. I mean, only if you wanted things to work like a, ya know, Discussion Board aka Forum.....
This Post is showcased in the WanderResource: RP Forums aka Discussion Boards Article!
Eyyy, it me, The Example! Still feeling a lot of pressure serving as the example for all y'all, but I've had my wheaties and am up to the challenge!!Time to GET IN TO IT!!
Oh, who's this cute little fella? *wink wink
FOOD?
This is DJHummus on the Ones and da Twos posting as myself (my username) instead of my character (An Example Player) because I didn't "Select Actor" before posting. I made sure to update my User Profile first so you get my cute lil humlurk pic! hey girl hey!! FOOD?!Out of character
Remember, you can't use any BBCode in the Out of Character Section.. real lame but also great for Copy/Pasting I suppose?!
Out of character
I embedded DJHummus's post into Example Player's by clicking the white clipboard in the top right (to copy the board post's link) and pasting it at the end of Example Player's Post Entry! I also put "small" commands around the board post like this: [boardpost:239d4ddf-74ce-47af-99fc-1c19b624c471]
Thank you for joining in the adventure!
For all of this, I guess, ya know, grains and grains of salt. I'm excited by the Discussion Board Feature for HTML Wanderpus, Think they could be some really neat things we do together! Like Music Lessons, a Department Only RP sections seem neat, maybe do a lil auctioneering fun, some play by post fun! Get weird with it you know, but together!
I'm sure we'll learn more bugs and quirks and feature limitations as we start to use the Forums feature more. And it's tricky, all the Forums showcased by WA are pretty empty or not used, so Guess we write the rules now!! HAHA!!!! We own this town!! Yea, thank god for Discord. Literally if you want to send me (Twylark) your stuff via Discord, for me to help format for you or post for you, hit me up. It'd be a shame to lose great RP & narrative just because of an untested or convoluted system. https://www.worldanvil.com/w/html-wanderpus-wanderpus/board/music-lessons
