alex... please give us multiquote!! !!


Multi quote is a great feature invision boards have. You have a speach bubble icon with a plus sign in it next to each post on a page and you just click on the ones that you want to quote.

But the brilliant brain wave is snapback, which works with mulitiquote. The quotes have a little snapback icon, that if you click on it will take you to where the quote was taken form or at least claims to be taken from. That way you can verify it is genuine, all it is just a simple anchor. There is also more information includes such a as the datetime it was quoted.

Yes, I'd like to see those things on this site, especially the first one.

With phpBB3, while entering a post, each post on the list of prior messages on a thread does have a "Quote" button that immediately embeds that post, quoted, into the message. Unfortunately phpBB3 is still at RC7.
phpbb3 was released a few weeks ago.

It also fixes a problem with the search feature slowing things down. I upgraded my own site to phpbb3 and re-enabled search after having it disabled for months. My site is very fast now.

Yippee! I've been running RC7 for about three months, I think, and I hadn't noticed the release. I must upgrade. (But not at this instant, 'cos it's 5am and time for bed!)

Thanks, 54, for telling me.

Sorry if this has been discussed, but would it be at all possible to add a option to one's profile to allow them to hide avatars and sigs when viewing the threads? I would seriously love it if that could be added. It certainly would make reading threads easier and more comfortable for me.

Shadexii may be able to help, he wrote some code for the Stylish extension for Mozilla Firefox. It currently allows for avatars, but it might be able to exclude them. I don't know this, so I can't say for certain. Sorry I can't be of more help.

sigs, to my knowledge that can't be done with something like stylish. Avatar images, you could block all images, and that would take care of it. If that isn't ideal then I'm pretty sure it can be removed with a stylish script or something in greasemonkey.

edit: eh... that might not be the cleanest way to do it. The easiest would be to install a plugin like adblock plus, and then block any images that are in the avatar directory. I think that could be done easily enough with blocking:

Code:
http://www.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/images/avatars/*

(not a link, just copy / paste. used [ code ] to keep it from making a link automagically)

I don't know if any of them load through cachefly, but if they do an appropriate block would have to be made for that as well. Should be basically the same thing.

When I click the bottom to stop watching a page and I am in a topic that has more than 1 page and I am not on the first page, instead of taking me off of the list of emails for post replies, it takes me to the first page. But if I click to stop watching a page from page 1 it works. I rather it work for any page that I am on.

Thanks.

Though I think it is a good idea to require date of birth for access to the adult area, is it / will it be possible to hide that information from one's profile? If it is already available....I missed it. >_< I don't mind giving my DoB for access, but I don't see a reason for everyone to know it. (Yes, I'm paranoid. Quite often over nothing. :P )

With the new age/birthday thing, whenever I fill it out, I always get

"You must fill in the required fields.
You must fill in the required fields."

Everything is filled in, I think; well, not the avatar stuff at the bottom (as I don't really want to change my avatar), but everything else. I don't think this is a bug, more just me being a ditz, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Is anyone else getting the same?

Edit: It works for me now (I did nothing different).

Making changes on the Birthday / Custom Rank profile page appears to cause diagnosis to revert to Have Asperger's - Diagnosed.
