Where debating everything under the sun is only the beginning

Is there an option that can be chosen, on either my part or yours,
to circumvent this troubling 'feature' ?

..... On a non-related subject, are all BB Codes available for our use, or must some be turned on/activated by you before we can access them for our forum usage?

I've tried a few from my/a personal list on one of my FireFox toolbars I've used elsewhere that seem inoperative here in this forum/bulletin board.

What does those interrogation symbols means?

Here's a list of supported bbcodes. What kind of bbcodes did you try that are inoperative? I'll point out in advance that I'm not especially fond of embedding video instead of linking to it.

A simple example: 

MyOpera        [IMG=IMAGE URL HERE] [/IMG]
vs.  
Traditional    [IMG]IMAGE URL HERE[/IMG]  

Newbie		0
Jr. Member	50
Full Member	100
Sr. Member	250
Hero Member	500

Unfortunately that's not available by default. I should be able to implement such functionality without too much effort, although getting it right (with the link to the original comment and everything) might be a tad harder. Rest assured that I am motivated to implement quick quote.

I could probably throw together a serviceable (but not exactly good) Quick Quote UserJS as early as this week if you like, but getting it as default functionality will have to wait.

That I meant to select the exclamation mark and never noticed I accidentally missed by one. In the case of Barulheira he doubtless means it as a question. If I were to make a custom theme (NB that's merely a far-off possibility for months from now) I'd actually consider removing those because I don't really see the point and they mostly seem to provide visual clutter. I'm open to different opinions.

Apparently this feature is surprisingly integrated. I can assign members to a non-post based group and then hide their title, but I can't remove the "Newbie" group. I'll have to look into this further at a later date as I don't see much of a point either.

I have a problem, at Opera I could select a part of a post and use the Quick Quote function and quote just the part I wanted to reply........

....many people uses to post large posts and, besides, full of BB Code and emoticons that makes confusing to decompose for quoting just the points one wants to comment.

var inst = "Add The QUOTES AUTHOR Here:"; 
var fill = "";             
var name = prompt(inst, fill);

var inst = "Add TEXT to QUOTE Here:"; 
var fill = "";             
var pop = prompt(inst, fill);



var box = document.commandDispatcher.focusedElement;
var startPos = box.selectionStart;
var endPos = box.selectionEnd;
var selectionLen = endPos - startPos
var text=box.value.substring(0,startPos);  

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


text +="[quote=" + name + "]" + pop + "[/quote]";                  


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

text +=box.value.substring(endPos, box.value.length);        
box.value = text;                                            

box.selectionStart = endPos + text.length;
box.selectionEnd = endPos + text.length + selectionLen;

If you don't have FireFox, I'll provide you with the code I assembled (I'm not a programmer, I just copy & paste a bit, use a little smarts, & sometimes -- God willing -- it works --- like this one.)

Maybe you can install it somehow in the browser you use (guessing its OPERA) & maybe it will work for you too.

Hope that helps ya 'till the Cavalry arrives!
