I'm not able to do it. It might be Chrome, or it might be something else, but when I try to insert any quotes through the multiquote system the system won't even process the request.

How about something that shows where the new messages in a thread are since last checked/read. Currently the only way is either memory or checking the dates on posts.

I'm currently driving a seven-year-old Mazda, and on the whole I'm still happy with it. But we have nearly $10,000 worth of credit for a GM vehicle, that's going to expire at the end of this calendar year because the credit-card points plan is going away.

How good, bad, or otherwise are GM vehicles nowadays? Will I be happy, unhappy, or nonplussed if I was to switch to a new one in the next month or two? If it makes a difference, I don't want a truck or a big car, just something to drive to and from work daily and on road trips once or twice a year.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm sure a lot of folks are thinking, "what?  Is that still a thing?"  And yes, it is.  And they're in the final stretch.  The development team made a presentation at Pax West a month ago, and one thing the spokesman said during it was that they were expecting it to be completely usable by the end of the year -- in fact, he said that it could have been ready in just a couple of weeks if they had gotten a couple of subsystems fully integrated.

But don't listen to my paraphrases -- watch the presentation yourself:

No, not a steampunk OGRE, no matter how cool that might look.

The OGRE video game is now available on Steam.

Opinion piece on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation News: It's always too soon to talk about gun control

I'm reasonably sure that this was written to be purposefully inflammatory:

Quote:In any case, lawmakers cannot allow this tragedy, which was the 273rd of its kind in 275 days, to make Americans lose sight of what is important here: that is, the freedom to amass a stockpile of weapons, ammunition and modifiers that can enable a single person to wound hundreds and kill dozens in a matter of minutes.

Take that freedom away, and the U.S. suddenly devolves into Japan, or Australia, or some other quasi-socialist country where people aren't gunned down in movie theatres, high schools, on live TV, in nightclubs and in kindergarten classrooms. What would be left of America then? You might as well take away apple pie, Sunday afternoon football (I mean the good kind of football, back before those whiners started kneeling during the national anthem) and the right to skin a deer on the side of the interstate. Like a man.

Quote:Indeed, the obvious solution to a man with an arsenal of weapons shooting down from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino is a sea of 22,000 equally armed concertgoers below, panicked and shooting wildly in the direction of the 43-storey hotel. Perhaps that would have saved some lives.

Quote:The respectful thing to do here is to mourn for the victims and their families, and then preserve everything exactly as it is, so that it may happen again. That's what freedom feels like, friends.

I'm creating this thread so I don't forget things I need to do for the boards.  Feel free to suggest things I should add.

• Upgrade forum software
  
• Install queued-up plug-ins.
  
• Figure out how to change the "start date" for the forums.
  
• Complete restoring as many "Guest" postings to their original posters' names as is reasonably possible.
  
• Fix forum stats panel.
  
• Find CSS controlling SanFelix page buttons and fix contrast.
  
• Find and delete spammer threads that were locked and hidden and forgotten on original boards.
  
• Restore recovered images from old board where possible.
  
• Restore mod privileges to those who had them on the old board and still want/need them here.
  
• Investigate thing where replying twice to a thread in rapid succession results in the second reply appended to the first.
  
• Change the font color on thread paging buttons again -- and note where it is against future need.
  
• Apply found fix for video embed breakage.
  
• Investigate CAPTCHA problem reported by Ebony (on both password reset and "Contact us" feature)
  
• Change the encoding of the message column in mybb_post to utf8mb4. (Attempted, got server error; may not try again.)
  
• Recreate top-of-forums "headlines" for chapter byte counts 'n' stuff
  
• Figure out and fix markup weirdness on file attachments to posts.
  • Figure out how to make announcements theme-sensitive.
• Find out how to display subject lines on individual posts.  They're in the db, why aren't they on the pages?
  • Refine style/positioning of subject lines.
    
  • Make conditional if blank or simple "Re:topic". (Is that even possible?)
    
  • Port changes to other themes once I'm satisfied.
• Figure out how to hack the statistics table so messages are tallied by their original date-of-posting instead of the date they got added to the new forums.
  • Write SQL to extract dates from posts and threads to generate new historical records for stats table; also need code to clean up entries made by import in August '17.
    
  • Import original registration data from scrape info and apply to users' records.
• Create double-wide green-n-white logo, possibly with a nice image.  Create counterparts for other themes.
  
• Fix the Simple theme (or have creator fix it) per user complaints.
  
• Fix inline moderation issues with themes other than the default.
  
• Find solution for nonfunctional multiquote.
  
• Fix internal links to threads and posts.
  
• Fix time offset on posts from Yuku/Crapatalk.
  
• Create a document listing the location and specifics of all manual customizations made to board layout/styling.
  
• HTTPS/SSL
  
• Implement table markup plug-in
  

The one thing I miss about the old Yuku boards is the little blurb at the top giving the writing status of pending chapters. Is there any way to add that in MyBB?

That's the actual headline on this story published in the New York Post today.   No, it's not about Manhattan cops coming across the body of a bearded guy in red.  In the grand Post tradition, it's delightfully tongue-in-cheek but accurate, in their own twisted way, and I'll let you read the article to find out how.
