Questions about the forum software

[Worm]

Are we pphbb or whatever you call it? I'm looking for FF addons to get new posts in tabs and my old addon won't work here.

The new forum software is XenForo. I don't think your addons will work with it.

Edit: maybe this will help?

Thanks, Rick, I'll check that out.

Will the software allow us to put the MG logo (and possible changing site subtitles) up at the top, or are we can we only be "xenForo" titled?

Great question, Nick. Kai The Master is working that now.

I know you can do the logo for sure. There are also banners that can be in place that change. Again talkbeer.

Is there a spoiler button?

Is there a spoiler button?

Yes, next to the media icon there is one you can select spoilers from. Sorry, I have no idea how to describe these icons, since they don't look like anything.

Edit: it's the one that says "Insert."

 

[Nickyboy]

Found it. Thanks!

I have finally figured out that I can click on "more options" under a post to be able to preview it. This will save years of my life not having to edit already posted stuff that didn't work with my failed image attempts.

I've had many failed image attempts too, and not just on this board.

Anyone running the Grease Monkey addon might be interested in this script: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/6401-xenforo-endless-forum-pages
It's supposed to make pages one long page. I often reply to a post not realizing there are posts after the one I'm replying to because I think I'm at the last page when I'm not.

I want whatever she's having...

I mean.. I want worm's emojis added to the forum emojis.

I had problems adding them the first time around. I'll try again now that I'm older and wiser.

In some of the threads, there's a little check box near the poster's name to select post. What is this for?

Can you screenshot an example?

The check box appears for forums you moderate. It allows you to delete or move posts.
