RevEng Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Not being argumentative, but having to type your pre-quote text below the quote, and then drag the quote below your text... is a bit clunky. A minor point. and the other features sound good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So having to move that initial quote box is not something that I need to do often. Having said that, I would prefer if you could get the cursor above that first quote box and then start typing directly above it. ..Al 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Interesting. I did notice the highlight and quote popup before and I think it's awesome. But now with your explanation about the quotes, I'm able to drag and drop quote boxes all over the place.. so I get it now. I do notice the behavior is the same on the bottom as it is at the top, i.e. If you drag a quote to the bottom you'll not be able to type below it also. So as you said, you have to type your text, then drag the quote box back above it. Not too hard, but yes, it's new and probably has to be learned by a bunch of us. See, I can't type below this quote.. so I would need to drag it up to get around it. This isn't a complaint, but just pointing it out. 17 minutes ago, Albert said: I almost always type my responses to quoted text below the quote box, which I also imagine most other people do as well.

Shannon Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 You guys rock! I'm slowly getting used to the new forum. Still waiting for the search index to be rebuilt but I have managed to do some minor searching. Enough to make my way around. I'll miss the multiple page options when viewing all new content. I used to split each page into multiple tabs so that I would have a "snapshot" of posts at that moment and then could browse at my convenience. Also it was nice when I could chose to either go to last read post or last post. I also kinda miss the page number count where you could select a page. But I'll survive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 ^ I got one of those, too. It first appeared for me over the weekend, and I figured it was a result of the ongoing re-indexing. I could almost see that process continuing, too; as I'd revisit my profile page, I noticed that the date would change to a succession of more recent dates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
