Welcome to the new CricketWeb Forums

[honestbharani]

I have had sigs off for ages now on CW. And had avatars off on the earlier version. But now they are showing up in nice cool oval thingy (maybe circle lol) I like them...

But now the emojis seem to be broken for me.. I just switched from the home lappie to the work lappie.. maybe something due to that?

So in the older version there used to be a button to the left of the thread title. If you click it, you went straight to the new posts in the thread. Anyway to do it now?

Think it automatically takes to the last unread when you click on the thread link itself but since the software upgrade happens it seems to think all posts are unread.

I marked entire forum as read and now it only shows me actual new posts.

Anyways, not sure if it was answered, but how do I multiquote?

If three people reacted to your post in three different ways, the post itself doesn't tell you whose reaction was what. You have to go to the Alerts page to figure that out.

Clicking the list of names of the people who reacted under your post should open a pop-up which details what each individual reaction was and how many of each reaction the post got.

Just click the thread title.

EDIT: Although as noted you'll have to mark the whole forum unread before it works properly.

Best way I've seen to do it is just clicking reply on each post you want to quote.

It does it automaticallly when you click on a bolded thread title, it's just that the whole forum's been marked as unread if you haven't read it since the software change.

you can't press alt+s to submit posts anymore

What value does displaying the thread-starter's avatar next to the thread link add?

Yep does work. Awesome.

You do that instead of hitting enter?

hitting enter just makes a new line

Earlier, it told you who started it somewhere nearby right, now it shows the latest post on the right and thread starter this way.

Sorry meant hitting the post reply button. I dont like keyboard shortcuts that much

The mini-avatars are unnecessary, the usernames were good enough and made the page look less clogged.

Yeah there's something weird going on with your account, your posts are being sent to a queue that requires mod approval before they post.

Maybe that's why Daemon was unable to PM me, in which case it might be happening to GIMH's acount too.

I also don't have any access to VMs/PMs, ftr.

Howe must be in some weird usergroup with funky permissions. It might have something to do with the custom title thing, or alternatively he was a mod of a particularly dead subforum.

I preferred the older layout where everything was simpler, and you didn't have the option to emoji-like stuff, the simple and classy color scheme, the post layout.

I hate change.

I'm getting the sense vcs doesn't like change

is it because he said it

 

[trundler]

I think he may faintly hinted towards it

Could you send me an email please mate, and we can troubleshoot?

Yes, he was a mod of a dead subforum, which I've cleared him from.
