The vBulletin migration - praise & suggestions

DYK raises a good point: multi-quote is an add-on to vb - which I find useful but by no means essential.

Keeping nested quotes is a different thing. In fact, stripping nested quotes is an anti-feature - the code actually has to do some work to make itself less useful for us! I question whether it really requires an add-on to restore this ...?

If we're gonna conduct a poll, I'm anti-nested quotes. Although some people like them I thought that was one of the more irritating features of SMF - well, that and the tiny font size in quotes

They are present both in the quick reply box and in the advanced editor

Hi...

If they are, I don't see them anywhere.

If they are, I don't see them anywhere.

Nor do I, though i do remember seeing a chrome extension to add a wysiwyg editor to vbulliton forums.

As has been previously reported, you must change your default editor on your Miscellaneous Options under General options in your Settings. This is the editor I get when I change it to Standard.

Thank you, Detonate, problem solved.

You shouldn't be able to post there as that should just be a category. The threads that are currently there, should be moved to a sub-forum.

Done. Moved all into Everything Else.

Yes, it does. I have investigated it.
Not quite against the idea of getting that back, but I am definitely against playing with hacks and too many (if any) external plugins until we settle and flesh out what we have available in a stock setup.

Multi quote is a stock feature, it comes with the software.

I think all new user registrations will see this be default, but all us imported members it isn't, there looks to be a way to run a database query from within vb to change that for us. Looks......

....and OS will need to do that, I don't have perms to look at that area.

I try my best to click "mark posts read" when I head for slumberland, although sometimes I forget.

Given that I do that, what I see when I click new posts is threads that have a "new post" in a block at the top, then a bar that says, the following have not been updated since you yada yada, They are arranged by time with most recent at the top.

I am the admin for another Linux Forum. We changed our software a little over a year ago and I understand the growing pains. It took a while to get the bugs out, enable features people want, and implement add on features. There is also always a big hurdle of user familiarization.
In my opinion this site is progressing nicely and the admins have been very responsive to user comments and suggestions. Thank you for you efforts. There is more time and effort involved than most realize.

Um, can we please lose these two [moronic, in my [not necessarily very humble] opinion] limitations?

1) You're limited to four "images" per post--and smileys are counted as images. Last night, when multi-quoting several replies, I had to remove all the smileys from the quotes before it would accept my four.

2) You're required to enter a minimum number of characters in a reply [and probably a new post, too]. Despite my typical verbosity, I *AM* actually capable of the occasional terse post! If I want to reply "+1"--PERIOD--I should be able to. :-D

Now unlimited.

Now set to 2.

Videos per post set to 5.
