[RESOLVED] New edit box?

[RhinoBull]

Is that annoyance avoidable? And why do I have to hit the edit button twice now?

[RobDog888]

I take it you mean the "Quick Edit". Its a bit slow but it does work for me with a single click.

Yes, you can disable JavaScript.

[RhinoBull]

Yes, you can disable JavaScript.

For the entire borwser? Not a chance. What else can I do to disable that thing - it aggravates the hell of me.

[JPnyc]

I'm afraid that's the only option. Doesn't your browser allow disabling of scripting on a per tab basis? Mine does.

[RhinoBull]

I don't use any tabs - IE6 and only IE6. Maybe IE8 but definitly not IE7.

Anyway, why am I forced to used that if I like the advanced editing?
Why isn't it configurable from user's CP? If anyone can reasonably explain that to me please?

Thank you.

[JPnyc]

For that explanation, please go to vBulletin.com/forums. Perhaps they can answer.

[RobDog888]

Its a global setting. They didnt make it as a User Setting. Perhaps with the next version of vB it may be in there.

[RhinoBull]

Its a global setting...

I figured that much. You may close this thread.

So how long has Quick Edit been the default?
When you hit edit, you can edit your post, but you still have an edit button available?
It has confused me, as I {Don't ask me why} when editing, would hit the edit button yet again.



And why, when in quick edit mode, is there a quote button?

I'm glad I'm not alone.

[RobDog888]

Ok here it is.

"Go Advanced" in the Quick Edit is the same as in the Quick Reply (go to the advanced edit/reply page).
Also same as the Edit button.
The Quote button quotes and goes advanced reply.

Due to the nature and design of the ajax quick edit, it has to be done this way. unfortunately it is still this same way in 3.7.0 Beta 3

Where have you been for the last four years? Ever heard of Firefox

Sorry but I wasn't looking for any guidance - it's easy enough to fiogure how to use it - all you need to do is click twice the edit button.
The question I asked was "Why do we have that option?" and I believe Joe answered it.

Thank you.

Why does Firefox have to be solution for every problem there is?
I like IE6 and I hate Firefox, Opera, Whatever. End of story.

[JPnyc]

There are alternatives which look and behave just like IE 6, except with added modern features, such as tabs, mouse gestures, easy enabling/disabling of scripting, Java, ActiveX, flash, etc. Two of them are Maxthon(version 1.X, not 2.X)and Avant.

[RhinoBull]

As Joe suggested in his first reply I temporarily disabled scripting.
The "quick edit" box is gone but I don't know what else got affected.

[JPnyc]

the drop-down menus such as quick links, etc., will be gone. However the forum is still usable without JavaScript, but the text formatting controls depend upon it.

[RhinoBull]

I was happy for a short time thou...
VBWire news were gone, quick edit was gone so were many other things on many other sites...
Unfortunately I had to re-enable scripting... I'll live with it but I really hate it.
Also I did check vBulletin.com/forums but not much info was available there either - in fact none.
I wish you didn't apply it to this site although there might more people who actually like it...

AFAIC this thread is reolved.
Thank you.

Older IE versions have tabs too don't they? It looks weird.. but I've seen it before. I clicked the mousewheel at someones house out of habbit and it tabbed itself..

[JPnyc]

No, IE 7 was the first to have tabs

[chemicalNova]

Incorrect my friend.. It could've been in a service pack for IE6.. but tabs are earlier than IE7.

Not by default - but there is a BHO available. Yahoo also offer one.

I have IE6 all upgraded and patched on my XP system and there are no tabs still.

[RhinoBull]

You are absolutely wrong my friend.
Anyway, there are products out there that IE look alike (Maxthon is one of them) so maybe that's what you saw.

[JPnyc]

I meant IE7 was the 1st IE browser to have tabs. Of course tabs preceded IE7, but not in a MS IE browser. In an IE shell, yes, ages ago.

[penagate]

MSN and Yahoo! toolbars provide 'tabs' for IE 6. They're both extraordinarily unstable, though.
