dann2707 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Really? Why not? It's great for if for example I'm talking about brake pads in another thread and quote "costs are awesome @bing is currently selling some" Rather than them happening upon that thread by chance. Think it's an awesome idea to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Most people currently do it by quoting a reply, which leads to massive threads of just quotes. I think its a good idea too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 What's wrong with quoting? Read the thread properly. How am I supposed to quote someone if they haven't replied in the thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivian-Trial Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Normally speaking when you quote someone they get a notification. The system works fine why try and fix it when it's not broke. Doesn't seem logical compared to how it has always been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not sure whether this is a standard feature of IP board which can be switched on but I have found some code for this to be added in, not sure how good it is. A few other mods I'd like to see is an awards system, just for fun you could set awards for stuff like most liked comment and every month a different member could get a badge on their profile linking to whatever it was that garnered the most likes. Can also have things like most posts in a month, most likes in a month, etc, wouldn't necessarily mean anything but would a fun way to get more poeple posting. Finally I spotted a really useful hook, it gives you the ability to quote selected text so rather than having to quote an entire post then edit it down afterwards you can just select what you want then you get the option to quote this or mention the member in your reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 Also found one for members to request to have their account deleted though this isn't free (the coding that is) and another that adds a chat box to the sidebar for staff so mods/admin can discuss stuff too small for a topic (this one is free).

That sounds great. Awards are pretty gay though will just mean everyone's commenting just for likes imo and that's what I'm here for P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 It's out and I've done a test upgrade. I just need a spare few days to update everything which are few and far between at the moment unfortunately. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
