Thing is, you don't really need the quote button if only doing one post. Hit REPLY and it auto-includes everything from the post you're replying to. Then scrunches it up so people don't have to stare at the "extra" unless they want to (and therefore expands it).
EDIT: HRM. It *used* to scrunch up (collapse) the text... I guess it doesn't any more. That's okay.

I mean, feel free to do all of that anywhere, but that's the main thread we'll be tracking...
Where's the purple button? I WANT A PURPLE BUTTON!
I don't care what it does. Just make it purple. @=)

That explains why I was getting a quote! I was sitting here thinking "I'm sure didn';t hit the quote button, so why is the quote there?". D'oh! :hehe:

You should be able to delete the quoted material if you don't want it. I was able to on the test site. Unless they removed that too...

The only problem if it does not render properly. See my post in word of the day.
This is going to take me a little bit to get use to. I like it in general, however there are things that I am not quite sure about.

You can hit the arrow in the quote box to collapse or expand. It was collapsed by default in the beta but the majority (including me) requested to expand by default instead

You should see a little red cross when you hover on a quote level - clicking it will remove that text.

Is that the bit where you hover over the quote box in the editor and you see a little red x which you click on to remove everything above that layer of quote? It's there. I like it.

Nice indeed. Only the "type your message" bits that are inserted here and there if you click on the green plus are quite annoying.

It's there, it was more my confusion as to why I was quoting when I didn't think I had. Hadn't realised that Post Reply and Reply are different.

YAY! Notifications still happen out of order!
I got Thom's response notification before Koen's response notification.
Yeah, I know that's not necessarily a forum issue. Probably email or network, but still...

I had the same request during the beta. It rendered nicely and didn't consume a lot of space, but reading multiple posts quickly was rough because I had to keep expanding everything. Just a usability thing and I'm glad it's expanded by default.

Would not be an issue if there were a setting to get just a single notification of new updates in a topic since your last visit; and then no further notification until your next visit. Most forums I use work that way; it would be nice if SSC offers that option too.
January 12, 2017 at 5:38 am
Interesting.
I'm sure I will get used to it.
I see I now also get a notification that someone I follow has posted content. That's nice.

My first thought when I brought up the forums today was, "What the HECK did the network guys change last night to break the rendering of the forums?"
Then I realized the new forums must've rolled out over night...
Thus far, it seems OK, it might take a bit of getting used to, but not much. Not sure I like the various buttons not showing what they are (Share post / Subscribe / etc) although that could be due to the lockdowns applied to IE here at work, I'll have to see how it behaves at home on Chrome.
So far, thought, kudos to the team!
