If you “Quick Reply” to a post, you don’t have to go through the double-clicking of the page saying “post successful” page–it seems to put you right back on to the page you left.
You just can’t quote the post in this application.
I feel like Sherlock Holmes…[8-|]
Hmmm, so it seems. Although it still puts you at the top of the thread… still a bit better…
Good work, Mr Watson!!
Yeah, I found this one late last night. You just cant quote people. But hey, if it saves a few minutes of loading pages to get back, I’m happy.
That’s what I’ve been using for my replies. I only go to the Reply standard if I need to quote…which isn’t something I do often, so it’s dramatically improved the posting and navigation time for sure.
I’ve been finding lots of little things like that as I wander around that make it easier to navigate. Just have to learn the new pathways a bit!
Actually you can “quote” using “Quick Reply”. You just have to do the HTML coding “by hand”.
[ quote ] & [ /quote ] (without the spaces, of course) begin and end the quote. Like this:
But that doesn’t reference WHO posted that, and you can put anything in “quotes”, such as cut and pastes from articles. I use it whenever I need someone to understand that the words in “quotes” are not mine.
To identify the user you have to add [ quote user=“wbill76” ] to the beginning, like this:
Don’t you have new movie coming out in a week or two Sherlock?
He is not Shelock…it’s more like Indiana Jones. This new site is like a big dig and who knows what we will discover next…
PS…me stupid…hit reply to type this…old habits die slowly
PSS…I have an Idea for the next book from Kalmbach…FSM Forum for Dummies!!
Rounds Complete!!
One “gotcha” with the Quick Reply is you can’t post URLs directly and still have to use the “Link” button. The nice thing about posting on the new forums is the ability to hot link URLs directly. Certainly not a show stopper!
With all the whining and whinging going on about the new forum, I’m pretty sure the Mods are thinking
The FSM Forum IS for Dummies!! [whstl]
Sure am glad to have some of the old emoticons back!
