Forum Migration Update
RE: Forum Migration Update
Because kudos are still a work in progress, here's another trophy for the awesome, hardworking, super amazing, sexy-ass mods!

The only thing that I have noticed is that when I multi-quoted in another thread and went to the full post editor (the one with the smiley menu on the left and all the edit features across the top) when I wanted to copy and paste an additional quote and used the quote button on the menu, I couldn't figure out how to add the name of the person I was quoting to the post because the new edit post field now previews the appearance of the final post.  I worked around it by typing in the [ quote=AFUser ] code.

Here's a screen grab explaining what I'm meaning:

If you hit the last button in the toolbar above, "View Source" (shortcut Ctrl+Shift+S) it will get rid of all the auto-formatted stuff and you can nest quotes a little easier. It does toggle, as well, so after you're done, you can see how it would look without having to Preview Post.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Now, this is obviously way down the list of priorities, but can we get rid of the little framing around the avatars?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

The site looks awesome. Thanks for all those who help make this happen

Buuuuuttttt. I really miss the MyPost link. I used it all the time to keep track of which threads I was participating in. With just the Today's post or even through the catergories, I forget which post I started a conversation. Please bring it back.

Awesome!  Thanks!

I was playing around with that button a little bit but I must not have been in a thread where I was quoting or doing other formatting because it didn't seem to do anything.

It's working now, though Smile

Wait, you pressed that button?  Please, tell me you didn't press that button.

What's the trick with the image posting button?  It doesn't seem to work at all and manually using [img][/img] doesn't work either?

RE: Forum Migration Update
Min, if you mean that the images aren't showing then go to your options and enable "show images in posts". I had the same problem, Leo helped.

No, it's checked...and I can see other images.  I'll try it again.

I guess there was something wrong with the last link.  Okay.
