Since the last 100-hour inspection and service on the website, I no longer have font color buttons. Both machines I use daily, both Chrome for browser. Ideas?
Mike On this site, we don't see colors... This is the 21st century.

Mike For me they are still there, but squashed to the right of the message body text box. Desktop browser and Safari on iPad.

In any case you can add color with this syntax: [colo r=GREEN]colored text[/colo r] or
[colo r=#00e000] colored text [/colo r] (leave the space out of the word "color", I added the spaces so it wouldn't be taken as a color control).

This is one of the more frustrating "features" of the forum software. Quote: You may embed only 2 quotes within each other. Q1: Is the "2" a variable argument that you would consider setting to 3? Or better yet, Q2: Is there any way to unroll the quotes into chronological order but no longer embedded? I know you guys have been spending a lot of time lately on maintenance so not trying to add more work, but hey if nobody brings this stuff up, how will you know?

I haven't tested, but I don't think there is a limitation on the number of nested pairs of qoutes. What you see in when you first click "Reply"... Quote 4 // Quote 3 // Quote2 // Quote 1Pull out (ie, Cut)) the beginning code brackets for quotes 4 and 3 and the text that follows (up to the code bracket for Quote 2) and Paste that in front of the ending code bracket for Quote 2. You end up with... Quote2 // Quote 1Quote 4 // Quote 3If there are more than four quotes, you'll have to continue pulling quotes to limit each nest to no more than two quotes. BWTHDIK

I think Tom was asking if the forum server could do the unrolling.

The software will only do two automatically. You can cut and paste as many as you want.

Username Protected wrote: I think Tom was asking if the forum server could do the unrolling. Correct. "Thread Roll" on Twitter (X) appears to be complex, but un-nesting these quotes seems pretty straightforward. Some similar fora provide "direct reply" to a previous message (no quotes, but unambiguous to which post its directed) which might be easier to implement. Clipping can be a pain. People (including me) often misattribute quotes causing confusion and more work to make the correction. At the moment, the font color selection needs to be a higher priority, but some improvements in quote/replies would be welcomed.

Many forums only quote the single last post. I think that is the best and easiest way.

Nothing like reading a double quote box of 100 lines only to see that the reply just says "Thanks" or something equally brief.  No need to quote everything by default.

In fact, making this simple post on an iPhone was a real PITA. Maybe one day you can move up to a desk top. Easy-peasy. (See? If the font color was readily available, you would know if I was joshing you. Now, you just have to guess...)
