New Features
 
Noticed some new features.
  • Multi-quote
  • icon to take you back to a quoted post
  • the feature to make bullet lists like this one
  • new friend/buddy options

I thought lists were available in the previous version? :confused: I dunno...

I do like the multi-quote feature.

It's also telling me the percentage of my pm box that is full.

Bullets are not new - I've use them previously in the football section.

Wow! A bit harsh, even for football guys. Most of us stick to using our words. Even Jurassic.

I don't remember getting a message box to fill in the list when I previously used the feature.

I also noticed a minor difference when including a link. I no longer have to disable my pop-up blocker.

Okay, perhaps I'm the densest of them all, but...

I see the icon, I can click on the icon, but I don't see anything happen. What is this "multi quote" feature, and how is it supposed to work?

Yeah, okay, so strike the "perhaps" above :p

The multi-quote is used to quote numerous posts in one of yours, which is quite useful in long running threads.

The way it works is that you read through a thread, and when you see a post you want to reply to, you click the Multi-Quote button. The button will then highlight. Continue reading through the thread and clicking the multi-quote buttons for posts you want to reply to. When you're done reading the thread, click the Post Reply button in the bottom right of the screen.

When you do that, it will show a reply screen similar to if you hit the Quote button except that you'll see each post you selected bracketed in the quote tags. You can then type in your replies for each post without having to create a multitude of posts for each response you want to write out.

For example, I clicked on the multi-quote button for the three previous posts and then clicked Post Reply. I can now write a response for each post in just one post.

Hmmm that I don't know. I always just typed in the [.list] tags.

I guess they changed how the link message box is handled.

Non-sense, there are a multitude of coaches and commentators in this world. :D

I've just discovered an interesting feature using the multi-quote button. If you are browsing one thread, and click on a "multi-quote" button in a post, you can go to another thread and actually quote that post.

For example, I clicked multi-quote in a football thread, and then browsed over to this thread and see the following message below when I clicked "Reply"

Quote:

You have selected 1 post that is not part of this thread. Quote this post as well, or deselect this post.
I clicked the option to "Quote this post" and it brings up the post I originally selected for multi-quote in the football forum (you can see it quoted below). This could be quite useful while referencing old posts in play discussions, etc.

                  24 

#3 and #5 are in the guard/center gap and #24 is in scrimmage kick formation.

Does the exception apply? (I believe it does)

Can the center (#64) direct snap to to #3 or #5 and will the exception apply? (I believe it still does)

My crew is having a discussion and we are looking for other opinions.

Thanks in advance.
