If you like to display content in easily manageable portions, dividing the list of topics in categories and posts in threads into pages is for you. But if you prefer to have new content appear automatically as soon as you’ve reached the end, enabling infinite scroll is the way to go. Luckily, the Vivaldi Forum caters to both styles.

To update your preference:

1. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the Forum and select “Settings” from the menu.
2. In the Pagination section, either enable or disable “Paginate topics and posts instead of using infinite scroll”.
3. If you’ve opted to paginate posts and topics, feel free to adjust the number of items that are shown per page.
4. Save the changes.

When you “watch” topics on the Vivaldi Forum, you’ll receive notifications whenever someone replies to the discussion. You can start watching topics manually or be added as a watcher automatically after you’ve posted.

To change the default watch settings:

1. Click your profile image in the top right corner and select “Settings” from the menu, or head over to https://forum.vivaldi.net/me/settings.
2. In the “Watch” section, tick the boxes for “Watch topics you create” and/or “Watch topics that you reply to” if you want to receive notifications, or untick the boxes if you don’t want to be added as a watcher to the topic.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Save changes”.

Feedback from our users plays a big part in prioritizing which features we’re going to work on next. For this, we have a special Feature Request categories on the Vivaldi Forum, where everyone can post and upvote the features they’d like to see in Vivaldi. To make browsing the requests easier, you can use the forum’s search feature (see Tip #246) or check out the tags to filter out interesting topics.

To view feature requests by tags:

1. Open the relevant feature requests category:
   • Desktop
   • Mail, Calendar & Feeds
   • Mobile
   • Automotive
   • Community & Services
2. In the “Filter feature requests” section, click on the topic you’re interested in.

When you find a feature request you like, don’t forget to upvote 👍 the first post.

In buzzing Forum discussions, it can become a little unclear which comment you’re replying to when you don’t reference the post in your response. To make it easier to follow discussions, you can quote the post or parts of it in your own post.

To quote a post on the Forum:

1. Find a comment you want to reply to.
2. Click “Quote” below the post on the right side.

You can even quote posts from other topics:

1. Find a topic you want to post in.
2. Click “Reply” to open the post editor.
3. While keeping the editor open, navigate to the post you want to quote.
4. Click “Quote” below the post on the right side.

Quoting will add the author’s name, the link to the topic it was posted in, and the post’s contents to your post’s editor. If the quoted post is very long, you can delete the irrelevant parts.

It’s natural that not all discussions on the Vivaldi Forum can be relevant or interesting to you. To keep the Unread feed clean, you can mark one or more topics read without opening them.

To mark topics read:

1. On the Unread page, click on the profile images of the topic starters. A green checkmark should replace the profile image.
2. Above the list of topics, on the right, click on “Mark as Read”.
3. In the drop-down menu, click on “Selected”.

If you accidentally marked a topic as read, you should be able to find the topic fairly easily again from Recent topics.

When you’ve been on the Forum for a bit and have managed to earn a couple of reputation points, you can start customizing your profile. One way to add some character to your account is by adding a cover image to your profile.

To upload a cover image:

1. Go to your Forum’s profile on https://forum.vivaldi.net/me.
2. Hover over the cover image and click on the Upload button on the left.
3. Click on “Choose File” to select the image file.
4. Click Upload.
5. If needed, rotate, flip and/or crop the image.
6. Click “Crop and upload”.

If you want to adjust the image, hover over the cover again and click on the middle button with arrows to move the image. Click “Save” when you’re satisfied with the result.

Whether wondering how to use some feature in the browser, looking for a fix to an issue or just curious about Vivaldi in general, the Forum is the place where you should go to get your curiosity satisfied. With the combined wealth of knowledge our community and team members possess, you’ll get quality answers 24/7.

Use the search function first, though. With thousands of topics, it’s likely that someone has already asked the same question, so instead of creating a duplicate topic, you can just continue the discussion.

To ask a question on the Forum:

1. Log in to your Vivaldi account.
2. Look for the most relevant category for your question.
3. In that category, click “New Topic”.
4. Give your topic a clear title.
5. Ask your question and, when troubleshooting an issue, share as many details as possible.
6. Click “Submit”.
