 This is about as fixed as it's going to get. Quoting a quote should automatically put the quote tags in now. However, it doesn't make the "Somebody Wrote:" line at the top of a quoted quote bold.

I did make a change so a quoted quote has the original background color.

[Q2]Blah blah blah
[Q2]Blah blah blah[/Q]
Blah Blah blah[/Q]
Multiple level nested quotes should just keep the light background color. [/Q]
Good work. EDIT: Um... I think there may still be a problem.

Age, I added another bracketed "/Q" after the last one and things seem to be working with that in place.[/Q]And for me it ...

What part of "this thread" didn't you get? Something got hosed in previous quoting in this branch of this thread and it's not going to get right on its own so stop trying. If it happens elsewhere, I'll look at it.

Age,  I'm noticing a problem again with random, incorrect New! icons on the list.php page.  Just noticed it this morning.

CowbellGuy

Yep. They haven't really fixed the problem in phorum code. They claim to have done so somewhat, but it still does it after a while. You'll just have to click "Mark All Messages Read" to clear it once in a while.

I would love an option to have threads displayed with posts last in first out, a la USCHO.  Or at minimum to jump to the last page of the thread when linking to it from the thread list.

Note however that eLynah is amazingly professional and none of this should be construed as a complaint, yadda yadda...

[/q]I was just about to write the same thing, though I probably wouldn't have bothered praising the site. I should work on that.

The 2 page post on next year's schedule doesn't change to read unless you view the first page even though the most recent posts are on the second page. I don't know if this falls in the category of random errors with the New! feature mentioned above.

Suggestion: a "report this post" feature so Age can be quickly alerted when we get hit by a spam bot.

We have to be careful with that...we don't want to inundate Age with messages about Facetimer's posts. :-D
Is next year here yet?

CowbellGuy

There is/was/will be a "report this post" feature in Phorum. At the time I did the template for eLF, it wasn't working yet, so I got rid of the link, but it may be working now. I suppose I'll look into it at some point.

I just did another software update and it seems to have hosed the new message flag info in the database. Sorry about that. You should probably just click "Mark all messages read" on the home page to reset it.

There will be more features coming now like following threads in your control center, reporting messages, and things like that. Stay tuned.

Will the forum be affected?  I just ask since I usually come directly to the forum, bypassing the main page.

CowbellGuy

Nope, it's only the main multimedia site with, primarily, photos and videos that will be affected.

Has the forum been optimized for a screen resolution greater than 800x600 now?  It seems that I always have to scroll to the right to read the various threads.  I'm using the flat view btw.  I have experimented with 1024x768, but I'm still just working with a 15" monitor, so text gets pretty small at the higher resolution.
