NEWS: Forum Update week of Sept 24th-28th, Downtimes

The online ribbon is gone? Too bad, I liked that thing Will such an indicator return in some other form like a green dot or something?

The 'SE Square Left' style I use on my own site has a thin green or red line on the left of the post, green for online, red for offline. It's very unobtrusive compared to the Prosilver based online banner. The red and green may not fit in with the current theme though. Maybe a dark yellow/orange line for offline and a brighter yellow line for online, similar to the read and unread posts.

Hi there Terre.
Still finding all the neat bells and whistles myself, but think I hit a snag a few hours ago when I deleted a post (darn notifications put me in the middle of a page and I realized I was responding to an old post). The system timed out on that forum (Trump) for a while so I gave up trying to go back in. Glitch? Don't know, but it's working now.

Oh well, I totally forgot. Thank you for reminding me.

I suggest open links in new browser tab as with previous forum. Apology if this has already been mentioned. Thank you.

I second that, even though middle mouse or ctrl+click will work I think opening a new tab is easier.

Not really a big deal though.

Is it possible to move "report this post" button somewhere else?
I find it very incovinient to have this button next to "quote" button.

[Mazryonh]

Is there a multi-quote function anywhere in the upgraded forum software? I find it inconvenient to have to open up a new tab for every post I want to quote from and then have to do a cut-and-paste job for each of those posts. Other forums I've tried have a "Multi-quote this message" button near every forum post that isn't locked or deleted to make this job easier.

On the "Post a reply" page, you should see the last posts in the thread below. They have a quote button on the right, and you can select the text for each post that you want to quote exactly.
