Multi-quote if possible. That something I'm already missing simply in the introduction thread I created. I'm used to answering to each person by multi-quoting posts and then answering right under to save people from confusion.

Otherwise the closest resembling option is to quote one post after the other and answer them, but that's double posting and isn't as streamlined still.

I find quoting ridiculous since the post can be referred (replied) to directly (as I just did). Not only that, but quoting doubles the text in a thread without reason. Actually, it more than doubles.

It works all fine and dandy when writing back to one person right after they made the post but when you reply to many members and people before you have already changed the topic/replied it can get hectic and confusing. Quoting makes it easy when you just want to answer a bunch of questions and target them specifically, instead of answering a whole post and people not being sure what you're saying "yes" to.

Just saying, multi-quote is something I use daily on vBulletin.

Multi-quote done. Posts will be removed from this thread soon.

Is there a possibility to add a page bar at the top of the threads while having it at the bottom of the thread too? This seems like a common feature on other board software, but here the pages can only be changed at the bottom left.

Not sure how many people would benefit from that, but I knew I use the feature myself.

Sure, it was done on Version 3 (and 2). I'll add it soon.

When someone friend requests you, make their name linked to their page. I like to check out their personality before accepting.


And a search function would be nice

Wait, the search function is gone? When did that go away?

Incidentally, I agree with both of those. Particularly the Friend Request one, because it is currently a hassle to look up the member that sent the request.

Yes, yes. These will be done soon.

Hey thanks for requesting that.
I've always wanted to look at peoples profiles as well.
Urrrg the newbs the NEWBS!!!!
But oh well we should welcome the newbs.

The friend request link to profile is done and the friend request will check to see if PM notification is disabled and won't send an email if it is.

I'd like a pop up dialogue when you click on the Delete Page button when editing articles, similar to the one that pops up when you click "Upload a New Image." I accidentally hit the Delete Page button instead of the Add A New Page one, and watched as it proceeded to delete the page with no prompts at all. I managed to recover everything within a couple of minutes, but it was pretty scary for a moment.

Can do. I also need to fix the add page button to add a page between others instead of just at the end.

Torando's Site CP request and my own request has been added.

How about a report button to report inappropiate posts? I haven't seen one yet.

I'll add it to the list.

The watermark transparency option doesn't seem to work. I'm attempting to change it to 40, I click update and it updates, and then when I submit it it goes back to 70. I also tried changing it when I upload the image, but that doesn't work either.


»This is the image in question, in case that matters.

Hmm, I'll have to check it out tomorrow.

I remember when I originally made the image uploader than I never added a way to set the opacity in the code. It was due to PHP's dumb way of not respecting the alpha channel of the PNG. A workaround was done and this now works. The opacity will be respected.

Okay, cool.

I'd like to see "You have 0 PMs", instead of the current "You have 255 unread PMs".

That bug is STILL there? Holy crap. I can't get rid of that overflow problem.

You can delete all the PMs in the inbox to take care of that. I'll change it on the backend in a few, though.

That's the message it gives with them all deleted Aron.

REALLY? This is interesting. I'll look into it tomorrow.

Thanks Aron!

Just thought I'd note it takes two clicks on "Mark all threads as read" for that action to take place.

How about a page explaining ASE code? (Unless it's the same as BBcode - that I can look up!) I can't submit a story unless I know how to make stuff bold, italic, centered, etc.

It's generally the same as BBcode. URL and quote tags are the biggest differences.

How about a report function?

It would be useful to report spammers.
