I thought I'd recap some of the issues that remain outstanding after the forum upgrade:
- When replying to Posts, having the person's name to whom you're replying to listed after the word "quote" in the quote block. {fixed}
- An option to automatically have all quoted text shown in boldface (as it was before the upgrade). {fixed, sorta ("whosit said" is now bolded)}
- The ability to post to a thread without using the "reply" button, which is another (convenient) old feature that has not carried over. Oftentimes you may wish to inject a comment or add info that is not directly in response to a particular person's post (or perhaps in response to more than one post or to the thread in general).
- In new Posts, or when editing old Posts, embedded HTML code does not work.
- The ability to seperately thread PMs without also having to thread the main forum (so that PMs work they same way they used to prior to the upgrade).
- The ability for Users to select the font size they wish to display forum Posts in. (I happen to like the current tiny type, which allows me to see more text onscreen, but other folk have monitors or eyeballs with poor resolution.) {fixed, but buggy: selecting "Shrapnel Small" fails to display boldface text like this}
- Have the forum SEARCH feature work the way it used to (which was very good). The current search system is all but useless.
If I've omitted any other issues, feel free to speak up.
