If you want to quote many posts in a thread, you click on each 'multi quote' that you want, then the quote button... your reply now has each of those posts quoted ;)

Saves you from quoting one, then having to copy and paste additional posts you want to also quote :cool:

Does it only work within the same thread? - or could I multi-quote, say, 3 posts in 3 different threads and reply here?

No, one thread only... maybe only same page; but I'm not sure about that :rrg:

Thanks Dan....

What other new features are there with this vB version? - I've only come across this one so far.

Good morning everyone....hope the week went well!


Good Morning everyone!

Up with the birds, eh, Ken! Were they making so much noise that you had no other choice LOL



While trying to escape through Pakistan, Osama Bin Laden found a Bottle
on a beach and picked it up.



No, one thread only... maybe only same page; but I'm not sure about that :rrg:

I stand corrected... as you can see it DOES work from multiple threads too :d

Now I understand why the lil arrow is beside the quote... to take you to the thread it originally came for :)

Cool...

That will come in handy :)

Dr.Dan

Just look below the reply box when quoting ;)

Also discovered another new feature for PM's. There is now a "BCC" (blind copy) feature in there.

All of these are great features :bsu:

I was going to ask you about an Infraction System that I've seen on another board... I like the idea... If this is what I think it is..
You can see a trouble maker without seeing the trouble they have caused because they get a warning symbol beside their name.. :d

I also see the quoted text in the email notifications now... not just the reply
That's probably in that long list somewhere, but I didn't notice it at first glance..

I havent tried it here yet, we did get to test though..anyone volunteer to be the first? ;)

It's an automated customizable system now.

Go ahead Tess. Might just as well get it started. ;)

Haa, haa, haa, a yellow card.

Excellent. :d

debbie
08-12-2006, 01:53 PM
Can only the mods see if someone is flagged as a 'trouble maker'?

debbie
08-12-2006, 01:53 PM
Never mind lolol :d I see it now.
Thanks MM.

debbie
08-12-2006, 01:54 PM
Now I've got the yellow card. :d

Mouse

Mmmmm, only appears on the "warned" post.

Too bad, it might be missed.

You did get a PM notification didnt you?

Dr.Dan
08-12-2006, 02:00 PM
I guess it's not what I was thinking it is...
There's no warning symbol beside his name to indicate that he's been warned :(

debbie
08-12-2006, 02:00 PM
Alright then..... let's move on to the Private message quota warning system.

What is that? Does this remain the same?

Does this come with an increase in PM amount? nyuk nyuk

T_Totler
08-12-2006, 02:02 PM

Thanks MM.
I dun see it :(

debbie
08-12-2006, 02:04 PM
I dun see it :(It's the little box on the left side beside the word 'Today'.

You've got it now.

At least I think that's what MM is talking about.

Tess
08-12-2006, 02:09 PM

The post I used to give it to you has a yellow card now on the RIGHT side over by the quotes function.

Private Messages: Quota Warning
Once you have reached 90% of your private message quota, you will receive a warning telling you that you have almost reached your quota.

Just an early warning I believe to try to prevent full boxes.

Mouse
08-12-2006, 02:12 PM
You did get a PM notification didn't you?

I did.

It's right beside the Quick Reply button.

Perhaps only I can see it?

Those are just marking unread posts... hover over it and it says "unread"

Tess, I still don't see any yellow card :rrg:

It's only on that one post, post #27 in this thread.

If it's not showing, it could be style related...or could be only for mods and admins.

I am not sure, could be email, like the one telling you it's full.

Tess

There's probably an override for it..admin style same as the full box.
