Is this what you are talking about? https://xenforo.com/community/resources/user-tag-email.5231/

A forum member should be able to receive email notification for anything that is directed at that member. This would include any time a member is tagged or receives any activity on their profile page This not only helps the member, but it is also good for the community because it can draw a...

I just tested it here and I no longer see a problem. If I notice anything else I'll report it.

As I see it, testers report bugs, developers decide what they want to do, and trolls make comments like "rusty piece of crap." I didn't have to report this. I'm just a member of an admin community that decided to jump to the beta version. I thought I was being helpful. I also reported bugs for...

Not really. Microsoft has an end-of-life cycle they follow that results in the current OS and maybe one or two versions back getting updates. Opera is up to version 23 and they are not supporting all versions in between 12 and 23 with fixes. Version 12.x is being treated differently because of...

The partial quote prompt covers the text and interferes when the user highlighting text for other reasons. For example, they only want to select the name of a product and copy it to the clipboard using right-click. BTW, Opera 12.x is still supported and upgraded by Opera. The newer version is...

Earlier in this thread someone posted a screen shot of a message from Kier. He said that he will add multi-quote if he can figure out a not awful way that doesn't clutter the interface with lots of controls. I really don't think this problem is so complex that in three years no solution can be...

FWIW, one of XF's competitors figured out how to use the quick reply box for all replies (as XF is trying to do), while also supporting single quote, multi-quote, and partial quotes across pages and across threads. And it doesn't force you to lose your place in the thread you are quoting. If...

The thing is, because multi-quote and single-quote use the same method here, even if someone only quotes one message, he loses his place in the thread. When I'm using a XF forum, most of the time I give up on trying to read entire threads after I post one reply. Or I just refrain from replying...

The multiquote ability is there. It's just that it's so clunky as to be annoying.. Others here have described the constant need to scroll back up after every quote is inserted. But this also affects regular quoting. If you want to quote one message at a time, you are also forced to scroll back...

I've seen longer bug lists. But none of this matters if they can't write efficient code. If it loads slow, it will be a never-ending "user discouragement" experience.

I don't have a link handy, but I think it was on theadminzone where I read about a different IB suit. Something about suing volunteers at wikimedia. Assuming this is true, it sounds like a bully tactic to me. I have a feeling they do business this way. But my understanding is also that one can't...

Thanks, Chris.

Nice conversion. Considering that you don't know CSS/HTML, I guess conversions are not as hard as I thought they would be.

I'm staff on a VB forum, and we never installed VB4 because the owner procrastinates. So I have no direct experience; I only hear from others. I know admins who upgraded and are thrilled with VB4. Others see it as unacceptable. I don't know why there is such a difference. Hmmm. I just...
