I wish the new forum did "THIS".... [Archive]

For a short time, I'm going to take requests on functionality. If you want a feature, but you don't see it, post here, and I'll see if I can figure it out.

Requests aren't guaranteed, but if I can make them work, I probably will do them.

Some other threads have them, and I'll try to remember where they are, but if you want, gather them here.

2. preview post before submitting

It's taken a little getting used to, but this new forum has quickly grown on me. I like the enhanced capabilities and layout a lot. Thanks Joe.

Can't you do this by hitting the "GO ADVANCED" button?

After further review: Yes you can!

You can preview from the advanced page. If you start with the quick reply and click 'Go Advanced' it will give you a preview of what you typed.

If images are in sigs, I'd like a way to not show them without blocking text sigs :)

Got it. thanks.

Joe let us know on the sigs. If you arent' going to allow images in sigs, I'll change mine.

I believe it's been said before, but not having as much blank space within a post.

I wish the sig bars didn't have to begin at the bottom of the left info column row. Less space in between posts. (see: this post)

I wish there was a navigation tree on the bottom of the page like there is on top. The quick drop down navigation box is not that 'quick' in relation to clicking a link.

Kind of stupid request but is it possible for large quote chains? Right now you hit quote and it only does the last post. The huge "fuck" quote chain would have never been possible on these boards.

Don't know about the second part of your request, but I see the multiquote option right next to the "reply with quote" button. It's a little square box with quotes in it and a plus sign next to it.

I haven't had an opportunity to try it yet, but I can see it. When I hover over it, it says "multiquote"....

it doesn't work. I click and get a check mark, but can't get it to quote. weird.

You need to click it to get the checkmarks THEN click the Reply With Quote link in one of the selected posts.

I'm talking about when I am quoting you right now, it only shows your post. It doesn't also show my post in the quote chain. The big "fuck" chain that had like 20 people do it would have never been possible if this was the case.

Scott had good advice on how to set your preferences to see 40 posts on each page. Love that option. Kudos to SC for recommending it. If I remembered how I did it I'd post but it might be a good idea to look his post up.

Click Settings at top of page.
Find My Account section of left side of page. Click General Settings.
About 3/4 of the way down the page is a section titled Number Of Posts Per Page

The Cheese Icon is still showing as a full round after I have read every through every addition instead of showing a slice out of it. Is this happening to anyone else?

Just got the infamous 403 error too

For some reason I have to click in and out of a forum twice after reading threads before it slices.

And on this thread I can't get onto page two without the 403 error unless I post.

Edit: I'm learning to like the new forum except for the pink and blue envelopes ( I feel like I'm being invited to a baby shower) and the few little buggy things that are sure to be fixed within my lifetime. Not fixed within Tex's lifetime perhaps, but surely within mine.

skinbasket - You're a sorry mfing bitch. Give the man some fucking time to get shit fixed. But instead like a typical spoiled white punk you cry about what you dont have instead of appreciating what you do. Act like a man for once or ask Nutz to come over and do it for you. Your bitch rants are old and tired.

I understand the guy needs a lot of time. This place looked like your mom's crack den by the time you got done with it and ran away sobbing about respect and blaming everyone else for the decisions you made, or didn't make. It's nice to see your egomaniacle sense of entitlement to our unwavering appreciation has carried over to the new owner and continues to erode the corners of your pitiable little soul, as has your utter ignorance of the appreciation you owe the dozens of others who made this place what it was before you turned it into your own factory of sadness.

How is he supposed to fix what's wrong if we don't say anything about it? Idiota.

Nice work helping with the new software, BTW. It's worth every year it took. Except for the stuff that doesn't work. That wasn't worth it. But with you two on the case, I'm not concerned.

Haven't read through everything so I don't know if anyone else posted this but I am using IE 8 on a Windows 7 Starter Netbook and all the posts have ridiculously small viewing areas with scroll bars making some posts unreadable. It looks fine on my Vista Desktop with IE 8 (normal posting view area with no scrollbars).
