Now when you quote, you won't have hundreds to deal with, just the person you're quoting.

I'm still working on the warning
that someone posted while you were posting crap.
Also changed the edit post wait time, from 90 seconds to 20 sec.
QuoteNumber of seconds allowed for a post to be edited before logging the last edit date.
Do you want an indefinite time to edit posts, or a cut off tome allowed, so your opponent can't go back and change what they said?
Right now, it's set to "0", meaning you can edit it a year from now.

That happens to me, too. It's usually on a reply when I use the "quote" dealie, but not always. Is there a limited space available or what? The blank part of the reply doesn't get visibly larger, but it always seems to accept what I type. It's disconcerting.
Just the bugs that have to get worked out, I guess. Thanks for asking!!!
At the top right hand page of every post I have made are three buttons:
1.quote
2.modify
3.remove
I have only noticed the first two on all the other posts.Why are my posts the only ones I see with the REMOVE button and a red checkmark?
Because you have the ability to remove your posts while other people do not. ;)

Click on Profile and it will open your Profile page. On that page you will see Profile Info, next to it is a Modify Profile highlight it and drop down to look and layout, click on look and layout then go in and adjust as need. (don't forget to save your changes or you will have to go back and do all over.

5 minutes cutoff for posts, and also the number of times the post was edited. I think that's already in this, but haven't run any tests to confirm that until things settle down a bit.

One other issue has been bubbling here for about two weeks, where Mozilla Firefox has a problem with pasting text or links into a message-box. The problem does not manifest by using either Internet Explorer or Google Chrome.
Most of the time, any attempt to paste leads to an abbreviated drop-down menu which does not allow pasting OR copying. I've never seen this menu until this problem, and it is evidently not under discussion at the SimpleMachines forums for site administrators. Perhaps it should be, considering how many Mozilla users there are.
Taxed for one credits my use of older computer equipment using Windows XP (still in use by roughly half of all computer users, last I read). Maybe nobody updated a DLL file, or something. Maybe so. That's where SimpleMachines in their geekiness wisdom can write a fix for that one. A lot of people would presumably benefit, until they too buy Win7 or Win8 and leave a stable platform behind.
I also note that the image-size allotted for the CPF banner image has changed, now showing only the top part of the image in Mozilla. This is easy to fix, and should be.

You can do that.
1) Just click on your name
2) when it opens click on Show Posts on the top left side. It will show all your post.
Or you can click on other posters names and see all there post.

Having dealt with posters who edit posts to change the original point after a few responses I don't believe a post should be able to be edited after a response has been posted. If that is not possible due to the open end on a specific time I would say 30 minutes before a post is "locked".

You should be able to change your timezone settings in your use profile somewhere. It would be much easier than moving the equipment from the Pacific timezone to the East. It's just too long of a long drive for me.
The letters box when sending messages should go away shortly...

On the far right side of the index page you'll see recent osts in the event you missed one.
Ignore isn't something we do here, otherwise, half the forum wouldn't be talking. :biggrin:
Sometimes we let double posts slide, but only if they differ enough, otherwise we merge them, the first to post usually wins, unless someone took a lot of time and actually write something instead of simply slapping up a link.
Buddy list? We're all buddies here. :rolleyes:

It's possible that who ever received the message may have been inundated with messages at the time. You'd be amazed at the amount of requests mods get here.
Every morning I log on, there are at least 6 more people wanting to join, I screen all of them, this usually takes an hour, then I have to go through a half dozen PM's as well as attempt to read every new post on the forum and now we're cleaning up the other forum after 3 months of complaints.
