Hello admins and mods,

I don't find a forum, into which this thread fits better, so I post it here. Is there any specific reason for the disappearance of the Quote-button? It was really handy.

I could swear it was there last time I looked for it... but it probably wasn't.

As far as I can tell, Tim's been customizing the board since the install, so it's a little different for different levels.. The quote button could have dissapeared when Tim applied the last changes, or it could just be missing for the mods.

This wasn't my doing, I've already slapped krod about it so hopefully it will be back tomorrow. If its not, I'll put it back myself Razz

It seems to have happened in the last 18 hours as it was here when I went to bed last night...or I think it was :S

thats really odd...i don't know why it is gone...

It was just an assumption ;]

Nooooooooooo....[Like the last Star Wars scene]..

Now i can't quote funny quotes now Crying or Very sad

[edit] For the lazy people and don't know how to quote without a button. Use [ quote ] TEXT [ /quote ] without the spaces. Also there a button when posting a new message.

Or more beautiful:

Code: Select all: [quote="Source"]This is a quotation[/quote]

It produces:

Quote is back.

Thank god. I really never thought much about that little button. You notice your intimate relationship to it only after it's gone. =D

Amazing how the tiniest little function can be so useful isn't it.

It wasn't that hard to use the Quote buttons from the "Post a reply" page ;p~

I just quoted this with the put-back quote button, you will quote someone's post here. If you use the normal quote button from "post a reply" it doesn't state the quote from the guy who you quoted it from.

Or something. Cool

It can state that but you need to tell it to yourself by putting in ="quotee" in the initial tag like so:

Code: Select all: [quote="Rommaster"]If you use the normal quote button from "post a reply" it doesn't state the quote from the guy who you quoted it from.[/quote]

I'm a coder, so writing things myself should be usual to me. But I'm also a lazy guy, so I use copy/paste and macros where possible. =)
