The quote button works, it just wont show til you post.....and that is a very annoying prob, esp if you started with a quote and didnt want it later.

Edit: Would also like a "mark all read" button

Gah...

I still can't quote. I look at the link and it's just a bookmark or whatever those things are called to the Post Reply box.

I can't delete my own posts.

The raw HTML editor doesn't work. I tried downsizing and image but I guess it got completely ignored.

I think the forums are half broken now. :(

EDIT: Oh, now the quote thing works. It just doesn't want to show it.

Currently playing: Final Fantasy XIII

Yeah, you can only tell that the quote is going to work because it's appended #postReply to the URL, even then it's not guarantee that it's worked as you've found out.

It's done in JS, so it shouldn't be too hard to make it a bit more obvious -somewhere- that it's in quote mode.

Html, put < br > (without the spaces) in between the sentence you want to paragraph break with

I like how the forum is integrated with the site now, but I have to agree, and be honest that it feels more sloppy. Just takes getting used to i guess.

This message is a test to see if we can have a temporary work around for the lack of a spoiler tag.

Spoiler Tag Begin
Did you know that cookies are tasty?

Spoiler Tag End

Edit: Nope I guess not.  I tried, sorry.

Spoiler Tag Begin
Cake is also tasty.
Spoiler Tag End

Edit 2:  Looks like I found a winner.  As a temporary work around, change the text color to #ECECEC.  That will make the text the same color as the forum background color.  Just make sure to denote when you are putting a spoiler so that people will know you have a spoiler there.

1. you still can't put images and quotes in the spoiler
2. with a long text in a spoiler it will still stretch the page.

Ah, I didn't take images into account.  Also it seems that if the text gets' quoted, it still shows up.  I guess the only thing we can do is just wait for the tag to be implemented.

It still won't work. EDIT: I tried the 'post reply' button there. It did nothing. On the old forum I would have copied and pasted the quote into quote tags. But I can't.

there's a quote button for that, nothing will show up in your reply box but it will in your post
And make sure when your doing the paragraph break thing to do it without the spaces: < br>
