ohhh, perhaps you mean within the quote itself? (i see a "click to expand" link in the quote from you in my last post)...is that what you mean?

this is built in with xenforo by default, just click "reply" on each of the posts you want to quote, it should auto add the quote in the reply box down below.

That kind of works. The only problem is that when you click the 'Reply' button, it pushes you down to the Reply box, you then have to go back up and click the Reply button for other posts. Also becomes tricky when replying to posts that span multiple pages.
 
indeed, it doesnt seem to follow along if you have to quote from past pages...ill look into it more.
 
Is there a way to change the number of posts you can see on a page? On the old forum, I think you could customize this. The default was 25, but I had mine set to 75. Made it easier to not have to change the page as often.
 
ok I just clicked a box within the admin section that says "enable multi-quote"...so lets see what that does.

It was, for me, in the first page of the thread. It was not the "click to expand" the quote link. It was a link that was right above the page view.

As I was typing this, this link appeared just above the page link list at the bottom of the page/ right about the reply box:
"Messages have been posted since you loaded this page. View them?"

I don't think this was the same link/verbiage, but is was in a similar format/space at the bottom of a post.
 
ah, that just indicates that someone has actually posted a reply while you were browsing or typing a response.

Multi quote is working :)
 
keep bringing on the easy questions! =D

its the much more difficult ones i dread!
 
it was increased due to a number of folks who said it was way too small, currently its at 14pt. it was originally at 12pt...i guess we can try 13?

The size does seem a bit large. Perhaps 13 will work. I like the font and size found on the disboards site, which uses similar software. I think it is a bit easier to read. Keep up the hard work! Change is difficult.

I agree, the font is a little on the large size. One can also use the zoom feature in their browser to make the screen text larger.

It looks like DisBoards is using 10pt Verdana font. Where TUG is using 13pt Georgia. I do find the font on DisBoards a little easier on the eyes.
 
How long can you edit your post for? Was it two days in the old forum? I looked at a post that I made Thursday evening at 11:45pm and see that the Edit button is missing. So it doesn't seem to be 48 hours any longer. Though I am fine with a shorter period of time. I really think it should only be a few minutes, just enough time to fix any typos you catch right after posting.

Here is the difference in fonts

10pt Verdana

13pt Georgia

thinking that with either choice, some are going to like one better than the other.

for me the 10pt font looks very small
 
Hi Brian, Nice job on the upgrade! Can we experiment with a sans serif font like Verdana? The size is fine for me but the serifs are harder on my eyes than the sans serif ones, like on Facebook. Thanks!!
 
If the font size looks too big or small, simply changing their 'view' setting on their computer should help. No?
 
Is it possible to remove the photo with the question mark where users have not uploaded a photo? It is distracting.
On the new posts page, you used to be able to see the name of the person who had started the thread in that spot, now all you see is a huge question mark.
If they have not uploaded a photo, could you insert their username in there?

I think that is default functionality. There name is still on the post, under the big question mark photo.

I agree. I think Verdana would be easier on the eyes.
 
Thanks Dioxide! I used my first 'like' on your post! I see I can change the font myself! Let's see both live!
Edit: After looking at both 'live', I do like the Verdana so much more!
