1. Im wondering how the "quote message in reply" button works on the "quick reply" thing. Does it quote the last message? If so, what happens if the last message YOU see is not the actual last one (ie: someone replied).

2. Can you expand the "standard smilies"? It could easily fit 5 across and 5 down.

3. What does "Close Current Tag" and "Close All Tags" mean at the top of the reply section?

4. Can we go back to the old method of quoting, bold, img, html, etc where a pop-up displayed?
4a. Can you renovate that (old) system so that when you put what you want in the field and press enter it puts the text where your text cursor is instead of the bottom of the page?
4b. Can you also renovate that (old) system so you can click on the body of your reply while the pop-up is displayed so you can cut/past from the body into the pop up?

5. What ever happened to Aunt Jemima syrup?

1. Why do you have "joined" and "location" under your name?
2. why dont I? Edit: damn, apparently I do
3. Tek's #5 (its a damn good question)
4. Can we have more than 500 characters in our sig? I have a cool story in mine, but i could barely fit it in. (this might also be a bug becasue MS word said I had 497 chars, while it was spaced to my likeing.)

The quote on quick reply works once you click this

The close current/all tags simply end any open tags you have, like [url ] for example, or [IMG ]

I have no idea what you are talking about in 4

Joined/Location are temporary until I put back what we used to have there.

No idea where Aunt Jemima syrup went to.

Yes on sigs, just havent set all the policies yet.

Ok, Hamma. In the new system of doing img's, links, etc we click the botton once and {img} appears. We then have to type some shit, then click it again and {/img} appears.

I would like to go back to the old system where when you hit 'img' (or any other formating option) we get the pop-up thing. If you don't know what i'm talking about, click on 'Hyperlink'. That's the pop-up i'm talking about.

Now, the problem with the old popups was that:

1. You can't click on the body of the text in your reply (or in other people's replies below) while the pop-up is active. This means you couldn't cut and paste into it. You had to cut/copy, then click the button to bring up the pop-up, then paste.

2. When you hit enter after entering the text into the field of the pop-up it went to the bottom of your reply. Always. Period. That meant you needed to scroll down to the bottom (yes, some of us have replies more than 5 words) and cut/paste the coded text up to where you want it. I propose making it so that the coded text goes to where your text cursor (the blinking thing) is.

Got it?

not a bug or request, but thank you for finally letting us see not only who the last poster was, but which topic it was a reply to on the http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/index.php? page

Yeah, I'd like to see that too.

**FUCK! I knew how to write up the command for a quote by myself! I'm spending way too much time here!**

Oh, and you might wanna make this thread a sticky.

umm... thats today at 11:58. is that a bug or does it make a strange sort of sense?

Hamma · 2003-10-06, 03:08 AM

ahh yes, I follow.

Thats a bunch of Javascript coding, and I dont know javascript. They did away with that old popup method as far as I can tell

How the hell does the Avtar change thing work now...I dunno how to do it...anyways, the reply buttons and the like are blue, doesn't match the rest fo the forum/site

Hamma · 2003-10-06, 03:14 AM

THere is a thread on the colors. As for the avatar thing I have no idea, dont even use it

NightWalker XI · 2003-10-06, 03:22 AM

Nooooo....my avatar....my pride.....oh well

EineBeBoP · 2003-10-06, 04:00 AM

to change avatar, go to your CP then hit options instead of Avatar.

pretty stupid to have the avatar tab if all you can do there is delete your av.

Hamma, can we see whos browsing the forums again? I really like that feature so we can see if a friends online.

Lise · 2003-10-06, 04:02 AM

As I said Hamma, multiple choices for color scheme would be ace. If you need help with that I can give you names.

EineBeBoP · 2003-10-06, 04:08 AM

Hmm you have currently active members at the bottom of the forum Home page. Think you can just clone that to the top of every page when your browsing? (not while replying or checking your CP and such)

Lise · 2003-10-06, 09:55 AM

Another quick nitpick if I may Mr. Hamma.

URLs are no longer underlined. This makes it really freakin' hard to distinguish URLs from the rest of the text. Can we get underlined URLs back?
