New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
Let us know if any community features have started acting weird. We're making some additions and changes,

Multi quote! Oh god yes.....

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
Hunh, as it turns out, it doesn't actually work...

Not in quick reply. You need to hit advanced, which is somewhat confusing because we never used to have that button except through quick reply.
Either that or it was fixed in the last three hours.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
Huh I did go advanced and the posts I quoted aren't there. So unless this board does it some different way than every other forum I've used, I'm missing something.

Works for me.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
The multi-quote button has a little plus on it and if you click it, it toggles to have a little minus sign on it. Toggle the ones you want to quote and then hit advanced reply or 'quote'. Either one works.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
I'm still figuring it out.
What the hell is toggling? It sounds kinky, lol.

There is a button in the lower right of each post that looks like this:
http://www.blueblood.net/boards/imag...iquote_off.gif
If you click it, it changes to look like this:
http://www.blueblood.net/boards/imag...tiquote_on.gif
If you click it again, it goes back to this:
http://www.blueblood.net/boards/imag...iquote_off.gif
Much like a light switch. That is toggling. Setting something to an on or off position.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
So, if for some reason you wanted to respond to three people at once, you would toggle each of their posts and then hit quote or advanced reply, and each of their posts would be quoted in your new response post. The trick seems to be to remember to turn them back off when you are done, or it gets messy the next time you respond.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
Friends system works OK it seems, though possibly the checkbox overlaid with the avatar might not be obvious to people, even with the text explanation.
Toggling is a sexual practice common in the 1930s, for which you need two small sticks and a boy scout.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
option to edit last-reply posts not available after navigating away from the thread.. and we can all see each other's friends lists, therefore can now engage in MeowSpace popularity competitions. Deep and unashamed joy descends like a joyful naturist descending thing.

so... Forrest... it appears you are "my friend". What lunchbox of illicit excitement does that open between us, exactly?

I like this deffinition much better. While forrests answer was useful, I was somewhat disappointed, ;)

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
I wonder what merit badge the boy scout gets for participating.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
Yay for multiquote!
I liked it better when names in the avatar area of a post were bolded.

If you navigate to someone's profile, there is a little link for 'Befriend So-and-so' that gives you the option to make them a contact and/or a friend. Also, if you click the persons username in the thread, it drops down a little menu. You can select 'Add So-and-so to Your Contacts' and it gives you an option there as well.

There is a little link in the lighter purple navigation bar above for 'community' which drops down a few new options. Social Groups, Pictures & Albums, Contacts and Friends. That is where you can quickly find the social groups, albums, and such. I'll probably make it more obvious shortly.

Why didn't I think of that? I think I've been bleaching my hair too long.

What's the purpose of friending someone?

Hmmm... I'll see what I can do.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
Thanks for all this fun stuff :)

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
I added an album of Izta. I'll make one for myself when I've got some new pics. =)

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
Well, there's now a social group with a discussion topic in it. We're straying very close to infinitely-recursive social networking, and frankly that can't come soon enough.
Boards are so mainstream; the 133t alt surfer demands a sub-sub-sub-board where they're the only member and can moderate their own posts for straying off topic.
(btw - discussion posts are limited to 1000 characters; might be worth mentioning somewhere)

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
Looks good. I'll have to fiddle with my personal section a bit. Was a bit confused, but it looks fairly seamless.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
Uploaded some pics, made a group for gamers, and changed my profile pic. Woot.
And OMG it auto resizes avatar pics now. THANK GOD!

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky

Ok, that should be fixed now. I was wondering why there were so few views :)

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky

i'm just sayin'.

Re: New features added - Let us know if they get wonky
half a billion posts by 'Contributor news' has really screwed up the New Posts lists today. Please say that was a one-off..
