I've been trying to figure out what it is that I've felt has been missing from the forum and I finally figured it out. On the CivCity: Rome forums we had the ability to do a quick reply, at the bottom of any message thread page there was a quick reply box that allowed us to type in quick messages to post to the thread. While it doesn't show all the features like smilies, and the text formating options right there, they are still allowed to be posted if you know the codes to use (example [ b] would [/ b] would bold the text between the tags etc etc etc and [ laugh] would produce
etc etc etc. Well, they work if you remove the blank spaces that I put in just to show the examples
)
So, I've finally managed to add it back in, so the quick reply box should now be shown at the bottom of each page in the forum (message thread pages, not the index pages) for your use. If you're anything like me, you'll likely find it quite usefull to do those quick replies as well as faster to post your message on those days when for one reason or another our website host is keeping us moving along at a snails pace due to them overloading the servers with other users.
To use this feature, click on the profile link at the top of any page here at CBG, then choose look and layout preferences, scroll down the list and choose one of the three options in the dropdown selection. They are: "dont show at all", "show, off by default", "show, on by default"
Obviously, the don't show at all, will remove it entirely from the forum (for you), the show, off by default, will mean that it's there but it's been minimized and you'll have to exand the box if you want to use it (on every post that you wish to use it on) and of course, show, on by default will mean that it's expanded and available on every page and you'd have to minimize it with the right arrow icon to minimize it for that page.
Hope you enjoy.
