I was thinking a multi-quote function.

Basically you click on a button and you can click on any post you want quoted and it takes you to the reply screen, you can then reply to all of them.

So

Multi-quote


post 1 Radio button


Post 2 radio Button


Post 3 Radio Button


Then once you're in the post:


Post 1 quote

Response



Post 2 quote

Response


Post 3 quote

Response

Select a post > Click quote on another post. It quotes both.

Well. Nice. I didn't see that. Plus have not been able to look thoroughly through everything. Good to know.

Also I think there might be a bug with posting videos. Not sure if you guys have noticed it or not. But when removing the *{video} tags, and adding in another video makes the first video become shown again. If you look and edit my Minecraft: Last Hero Jump thread, the OP is doing this. I edit in BBC, then add in video still using BBC.


*Found the bug! When adding a video code in it makes this:
Note all you have to add is the first {video} bracket, and assumes to finish it if broken. Not sure if that's part of it, but doesn't matter if made in BBC and then shown in visual.

Text before video code (now edit or quote)

Just spotted this in pawl's post, and i don't think he edited the post to inject code into it

o.o
That was in a post I'd make like ten minutes previous, but straight after I copied something else to the clipboard. Odd.

Forum admins have complete control over the way it's displayed though - if they want to change the text displayed (including size and formatting) it's very easy to do. =]

well I do hope that if it's very easy they will think about it, but does anyone agree that the example I posted is slightly better or more noticeable?

As a matter of personal taste, I would prefer it at the top of the post, though I could certainly see it having some emphasis. In any case, it will probably indeed be very simple to move.

And it works across multiple pages with the use of magic!

Oh, but that reminds me! Is there anything to respect middle-clicks on links like reply/quote and the bubbles in the menu? They're currently absorbed as left-clicks, and if that got fixed I think it would make the world a slightly better place.

Alright, I have a thought.

VS Admin, could we add some kind of functionality where a user can... copy a ProBoards avatar? For example, I create a ProBoards avatar using the generator, but don't want to use it myself and want to let someone else use it, is there a way for the person to copy the avatar, say with a little code or something so that they can use it too? I know that they could just simply use the image URL, but perhaps a way for them to import it into their own generator would be nice too.

o.o

I can see myself creating a host of avatars that people could then use (this is coming from my Breaking Bad characters ).

Just last night I created an avatar and then had to screenshot it to send it to someone

Also on the avatar note, if I am editing another members profile on my forum, I can still access the avatar maker, as if it is their avatar, but when I save, it writes over my avatar leaving the member I am editing unaffected.

I don't think you're supposed to see an option to open the avatar maker for another user. I don't have one when I look at your edit profile area.

On my test forum, if I go to a user's profile, click "edit profile", and then click the link part of "Use only your ProBoards Avatar", it opens the avatar maker for me, which then saves to my profile.

EDIT:  Tested again:  If I click "save avatar" inside the avatar maker, it shows up in the right-hand cell of the other user's profile, but if I click "save avatar changes" on that page, the avatar gets saved as my ProBoards avatar.

Thanks, I've added this bug to our list; we do not want you editing user's avatars. This link should not be there, and will be removed.

Link not there is the behaviour I expected.  Thanks!
