V-twin Forum upgrade new features!

[Admin]

Multi-Quote (the speech bubble with the minus sign bottom left of posts)
The much-requested multi-quote feature allows users to tag multiple posts that they wish to respond to by clicking a small button on each post. Once the user clicks the reply button, each tagged post is quoted.

To increase usability, by default, only posts within the current thread are automatically quoted. If you wish to quote posts in other threads with multi-quote, you simply need to click a link on the reply page, and the text of those posts will be added without a reload.

Mark Forums Read with AJAXlace
If you wish to mark a forum read, you can simply click its status icon on the index page and the change will be processed without a reload. You can even mark individual sub-forums as read in the same way.

Quote Tags Link to Quoted Post
When quoting a post, the ID of the post is automatically included with the [quote] tag. When the quoted text is viewed in a thread, a small icon links back to the quoted post.

New Buddy/Ignore List Editor Saves with AJAXlace
Along with a new interface, your buddy and ignore lists are saved with AJAXlace to prevent an unnecessary reload. Additionally to make the interface even easier to use, vBulletin searches for matching users as you type their names.

Unique Unsubscribe Link in Emails
Thread and forum subscription emails now include a link for unsubscribing that is unique to each user. When using this link, unsubscribing from a thread or forum no longer requires logging in.

Save Search Preferences with AJAXlace
Changing your search preferences on the advanced search page no longer requires a page reload.

Pop Up List of Attachments in a Thread
The paperclip icon that denotes whether a thread contains attachments is now clickable. It will pop up a window that shows a list of all the attachments in the specified thread, including file size and number of views.

Receive Private Messages from Buddies Only
You may now select to receive private messages only from users on your buddy list. If a non-buddy tries to send you a message, they will receive an error saying that you do not accept private messages. Administrators and moderators are automatically able to bypass this restriction.

Give Reputation Using AJAXlace
Reputation can now be added to a post without leaving the page. When you click the reputation icon on a post, a box will appear and allow you to choose whether you approve or disapprove of the post and provide a reason.

Full BCC Support in Private Messages
Like in an email, BCC (blind carbon-copy) allows you to hide the full list of recipients from each recipient. In previous versions of vBulletin, the “to” field acted like a BCC field. Now, the “to” field acts like the field in an email; each recipient will see all the names in the “to” field.

Announcements Shown when Viewing New Posts
In previous versions of vBulletin, announcements were only shown when a user viewed a list of threads in a forum. As some users only viewed new posts by clicking the “New Posts”, they never saw the announcements. vBulletin now displays those announcements at the top of the results.

Enjoy!

I'm at work so I haven't tried out the options but if they work I think they will be good. The "new" looks is...well different, but I did like Chris's old photo on the banner, I'm old so don't do well with changes...but I'll adapt. Over all doesn't look bad.

Another step in the right direction... good work.

If you dial in your DNS lookups properly, none of the 8 tons of ad pollution show up anyways...

Good luck with it.

Different.......but looks good.

It'll take some time for some of us to get used to the new color scheme.

This site has evolved.....for the better! Nice work.

Cheers!

Who do I contact about issues?

I've got ads ALL over the place again, including Google ads in every empty space. Plus, are there supposed to be two rows of site sponser ads, one on each side of the page? It's says Premium members are able to "opt out" of the ads. How do I do that?

Will this site eventually speed up? It's taking an average of 7 seconds per page to open.

If you are having trouble disabling them as a premium member or having any other issues specific to your account please PM me.

Looks Good

[hdmarsh77]

It won't let me send you a PM. I type it and get a "page can't be displayed" error page.

[Admin]

HD,

Can you be more specific? Do you mean it says page not found when you hit the send msg button?

[hdmarsh77]

Yeah, that's what I meant. I'll try it again.

[hdmarsh77]

I think it worked this time but things get really screwy every few pages! I' think I'll tkae a break and come back later. Things probably just need to settle in.

By the way, I appreciate you sticking around and working on all of this!

and believe me...I appreciate the appreciation! Today started before 6am and it's still going
