dafuge Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Welcome to the new off topic thread, a place to keep all the unrelated discussion out of the challenge, sign up and experiment threads. I need to stress that this thread is still potentially here on a temporary basis, it is not guaranteed to be staying. For the time being, with the new forums this thread should be an ideal place to ask questions regarding the new forum software but I can't guarantee it will be a permanent fixture.

dafuge Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Before anyone asks, the forum header will hopefully be going soon, I don't like the way it appears all the time. I think I'll replace it with a 'welcome to the forum' type sticky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markcator3006 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Is it just me or do you have to manually refresh the page once coming out of a topic?

dafuge Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 If you go to 'quick links' (at the top) then 'edit options', do you get the option to change the 'Message Editor Interface' in 'Miscellaneous Options'?

NepentheZ Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Daf, do manually copy posts and type the quote tags? I've never got the hang of doing what you've just done using the available options. Also, if you could let me know what difference I'm supposed to see by changing to the advanced interface, I'd appreciate it. Also, shoudl slander of Mr. Roberts become an offense, I will go out of my way to sabotage your challenge thread Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, shoudl slander of Mr. Roberts become an offense, I will go out of my way to sabotage your challenge thread There's a 'quote' button next to each post, pressing it will make a quote of that post appear in your next post, it's a lot better than the old way of doing it. The advanced interface should give you this view when posting. I wasn't sure whether it was available to all users or just moderators. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure whether it was available to all users or just moderators. Yea I get that view. Also, the quote thing works too. The only problem is, they both don't work in the quick reply box, which is annoying. I use quick reply 90% of the time, and not being able to use it to quote, unless manual, is frustrating. Also, bring back That is all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yea the old one was carp. Although I loved the way it hovered at the same spot, so I could type something, and refer back to somewhere else on the page without losing train of thought. I get its supposed to be a quicker version, but on other sites I frequent the "Quote" function works different. Like how it used to work here, in which, when you press the quote button, it would automatically open the reply box for you, with the quoted text in tow.

Razer82 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 So, what's everyone up to on this very special first night? Well seeing as it's hammering it down outside and it's Big Brother eviciton night, so the wife is amused. I shall be cracking on with another season of Gundo's challenge, whilst exploring all the lovely new options avaliable to us on the forums. As you can see, I've already found a choice of fonts! Plus I must say that I like the new quote options - never understood it before but now it's easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaberdeenn Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Enjoying coverage of T in the Park, other than that I'm being bored, drinking coffee and waiting for cake as it's my sister's birthday. Tomorrow though is the end of precisely 51 days with no Aberdeen matches as we entertain Man United at Pittodrie. Hurrah \o. Then Dundee away on Tuesday night which I'm looking forwards too almost as much to be honest. I've heard it's a really good away so it should be awesome.
