Did you institute a feature that checks open and closed tags? I just got an error message (correctly) that prevented me from posting, while telling me that my tags didn't tally.

I have found several tweaks and features (meant in the true sense of the word, rather than the Microsoft definition) since we upgraded. The post checking was one I definitely liked. While not perfect, it is a good step forward.

Yeah, it's nice. Might cut down on those edits I have to make to correct my clumsy typing.

Unmatched 'quote' tags triggered it for me.

[quote[But not for me.[/quote]
Strange. Edit: The 'bad quote' above is exactly what gave me an error message (and prevented posting) last time. This time I got no such message, obviously. Maybe the function was disengaged while fixing something else. |

How come when I quote a post with a quote in it, I only quote the text from that post, but not the sub-quoted text? That sentence doesn't even make sense.
Okay, so if I were to quote Tanka's post up there, I wouldn't get Redjack's quote from that very same post, just the stuff that Tanka added. No more nested quote of a quote of a quote. Is that a bug or a feature? |

Meh! I hate Quote Trees, and can usually follow the conversation well enough (and can refer back if I lost track), so it doesn't really bother me.

Oh, okay. I understand, I just wasn't sure if it was supposed to be like that.
You know what the biggest surprise for me was in the new boards? My own post count. |

You are in outline mode. Go to the right side of the top green bar on that page and click on 'Options'. Second from the bottom is Standard or Switch to Standard. |

QUOTE (Platinum @ Feb 7 2008, 09:01 PM) I really don't like sr3 and sr4 forums being combined. People are not tagging their posts, and I wind up reading about a whole bunch of stuff that I don't want to. The tagging discipline is actually better than I foresaw. Maybe the admins are going through and editing them? Solutions I have thought to try: Respond to the thread as though it pertained to the edition you want to read about. When someone says the poster was referring to edition X, or better yet, that it was obvious from "some edition specific language" that the original poster was referring to edition X, act all innocent and reply that you were confused by the omission of any edition tag. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif) I do like the concept of having all the editions combined and using the edition tags, but edition tag discipline needs to be observed to make it work. If there is a good solution, such as mandatory edition tagging to post a new thread, or something else, I am all for hearing about it. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) It's, unfortunately, one of the "upgrades" IPB decided to use instead of keeping quote trees. Granted, there was a way a few versions back to overload the thread and make it load up blank after so many quote tree quotes. Why they can't just have it check how deep the tree is and automatically prune is beyond me. |

Double post, blah blah blah.
Any way to make the navigation links at the top of the page change color on hover? (Dumpshock Forums > Discussion > etc etc) I'm a stickler for knowing when a link is a link and when text is just text. Not being able to differentiate easily is kind of annoying, to be honest. |

I've also found finding some of the SR3 posts hard to locate, is or will there be any means to filter the board so I can avoid scrolling for posts on a version?
Something where I could filter out SR4 material based on the tags or something of the sort would be beneficial. |
