Nice :thumb:
Thanks.
Glad you like it. I'm trying to integrate it more with the LastPost feature I added a few weeks ago.
Ah, there it is. Now when you click LastPost it also shows the chars left.
Sweet
***pats joe on the back***
Good Work
Neat. :thumb:
Static - we'll go to 3.5 eventually, JM has a lot of forums to maintain not just us ;)
Thank you, thank you, no applause. Just send money :D. Yes, we have 30 forums to upgrade. Usually by the time we finish it's time to start again.
And, after every upgrade, you have to redo all of the "additional features" :D that you have put into each of the sites. No wonder they pay you guys the big bucks. :bigyello:Quote:

Another Job well done Joe! :thumb:
Ps, You forgot to capitolize the "H" in hack. :)
excellent work!!!

The charsLeft is wonderfull, but don't you think the "LastPost" thing is useless?
That's about the biggest backhanded compliment I've seen all day. ;)Quote:

Can we have an auto-answer button too?

Just tested and it seems that the maxpostlength does nothing? Im 254 over now.
I didn't mean to be mean, I appreciate you worked hard to improve the forums.Quote:

How do you figure you're 254 over? I show 7741 chars left, after copying and pasting your post into the text editor. The limit is 10000, and that post wasn't even 3000.
I didn't take it as mean, computerjy, but lots of folks don't take the time to copy their posts, so for them it's important. Unfortunately the cookie limit will be reached (4k) long before the post limit is, so for the LONGEST posts, it's still best to copy it.
Well the picture is what I am going off of, what do you see??Quote:

I don't know what happened with your post there but there is nothing approaching 10,000 chars in that post, which is the limit. I copied and pasted your entire post as I said, and there were 7741 chars left.
Oh I see what happened. The regular reply is taking the max PM chars value which is 2000. I'll have to fix that. Thanks for the head's up.
NP :wave:Quote:

Ok, I got it.
it still thinks you only have 2000 characters when you go back and edit a previous post.
No, it says 10,000Quote:

I changed it, I was just still too groggy to post about it at the time ;) Thanks for the head's up
How about adding the vbcode tag button to the quick reply?

Studies show that it increases the risk of certain invasive cancers.Quote:

now.. if only we could sqeeze this smiley in http://www.vbforums.com/
;)
No problem. I figure it you're willing to take the health risk, then who am I to refuse? Of course we'll need you to sign a release................;)
Wow, that was a quick change. I'm liking it!
signing now...
and.. if u are interested here are "cleaned" versions of those images :)
LOL, thanks, I'll forward the release to the bosses. Yeah the best time to ask for modifications is early in the morning, before I've had my 2nd cup of coffee and get all rational :D
So this would be a good time to ask for the "Random Reply" button?
Next to last post, we should have a Random Reply for those questions that make absolutely no sense. It would work like the last post button, but just reference a post at random. For instance, I click the button and it would grab the contents from:
http://www.vbforums.com/showpost.php...80&postcount=5
If it's easier, I'm ok with making it so it doesn't just grab things you've said. :)
Sorry, already on the 4th cup by now. Usually by 9am I'm able to distinguish objects (and arrays) and words. Once that happens it's too late.
This would fall under the cateogory of "spamming a thread" and some humorless, power hungry moderator (we all know how "they" can be :mad: ) would be forced to delete the post.Quote:

I add them when I find a post that needs them, but I don't necessarily think it needs to be reported. By in large, the new folks that don't know about the tags and the ones that don't use them, and once it gets pointed out that they should, that generally takes care of things until the next new person comes along.Quote:

Hack is correct. When I get one of those reports I look for spam or something that seriously needs immediate attention. If I show up and find it's just in the wrong forum or is missing some proper posting protocol, I tend to leave it be.
I sometimes copy/paste the code and add the tags in the next post....
Better to report em to a mod. Duplicating the posts just makes threads really long
good point.. I will refrain from doing that again ;)
and thanks for fixing my issue
I rock! (just ask me LOL)
Re:CharsLeft
It is gone ! :(
Yes, it broke the undo feature of the editor for some reason. Had to remove it. Wasn't that useful anyway
Sorry to hear that.
It wasn't a very useful feature but it was 'cool' :cool:
Hey I worked on it for.............................ok only for half hr or so, but still I didn't wanna ditch it either :D
Send me the code. I'll fix it for you.
Post edited. :)Quote:
