    Site & Foz improvements/feedback thread

    Post up any foz stuff here.
    Are there any particular additions you want made to the forum? Are you happy with the default layout or do you want some customisations created? Do we want to upgrade to vbulletin5?

    Before anyone asks, I will be working on the mobile version of the forum over the coming weeks. I am not sure how long it will take so bear with me.

    Keep in mind also, that some improvements/plugins/etc may cost money.

    speaking of a mobile version, so we just want a mobile version of the foz or the whole site?
    Crook has paid for the mobile suite of vbulletin which allows us to create an app for iphones and android, but this is separate to the main site which is wordpress.

    the option to like posts seems to work well in other forums I use

    the option to like Baz's posts would add a lot of value to the forum in my opinion

    Is vBulletin able to get quote-pyramids happening? As in, if you quote someone who has quoted someone, all the quotes come along with your post and not just the most recent one?

    FWIW I don't like the "like" idea. Just a personal thing. Rich, coming from the dude who likes every single thing he does on FB
    OK

    This is not a default option, but rather a mod/hack I will need to install. Will look into it

    in order to stop a massive amount of quotes appearing in peoples posts everytime they posted a reply, vbulletin 4.2 has the multi-quote option. Basically the quotation box with the little "+" sign next to it allows to you specifically include the relevant posts into your reply, rather than simply everything that preceded your reply.
    Use the multi-quote to tag the posts you want to have in your reply, then you hit "reply with quote" as normal.

    Its a better system I think.

    Are you talking about a string of quotes so you can read the history of the conversation, Pv4?

    So for example, if you replied to this, it would show your original post, my post, then your new post?

    Yep that's what I'm talking about. The problem with how it is currently is I physically have to go find the original quote, to then click the multi-quote option.

    Is there any issue with quote pyramids forming?
    OK

    It appears to work fine if done manually...

    Am with pv4, for stringing together conversations they are much better.

    dead against them as it generally means you end up with two new posts per page.

    Why would pyramid quoting have any impact on the number of posts per page?

    Liking posts and the ability to tag other members using @ works really well on another forum I'm on.

    Not a fan of pyramid quotes at all.

    I spoke to Robbie and his response was "Joel asked that? joel31 aka soccer_joel asked that? You mean the guy that gave the Jets such awesome ability in FM2014 that now everyone has ridiculous expectations from the club? That Joel? Nah, **** that guy"

    True story
