Re: This is a testing forum Reply #50 – 2013-12-09, 19:05:55 Frans, would you be going to implement certain 'dialogues'. Like MyOpera posting tools as to input links etc.? Along with a 'quick quote' thingie, it'd make living here sort of cosier:)I understand it may cause some trouble about the site working properly or such, won't it?

I would suggest developing Javascript add-ons as userscripts so people can use them regardless of whether I like it enough to add it as default functionality.

Unfortunately xErath never replied to my request to use his code, and I obviously can't put it up as a feature unless I get permission.Quote from: Josh on 2013-12-09, 19:05:55I understand it may cause some trouble about the site working properly or such, won't it?Que?
Re: This is a testing forum Reply #53 – 2013-12-09, 19:44:13 I'm not a programmer, but my manual workaround is simple.1. Goto the post where the text you wish to quote appears.2. Copy (highlight ➜ right click ➜ copy) the text you wish to quick-quote.3. Click the on the post.4. Now, in the Quick Reply Textbox select & delete all the quoted text, & then paste in the text you copied earlier in the appropriate place.Viola ➨ A Manual (not so quick) Quick Quote ☺
Re: This is a testing forum Reply #54 – 2013-12-09, 19:49:53 It's stupid because with a single quote even your quoting feature is an overkill - when everybody is capable of typing a couple of tags. The quick quote is useful when someone needs to pick several quotes from - even from several posts and even by different authors if desired.
Re: This is a testing forum Reply #55 – 2013-12-09, 19:55:34 Well, Josh ..... It's something I chose to share ..... if you feel it's stupid, don't frikkin use it....Personally, I use FireFox with the Custom Buttons Extension installed, & I've made a Custom Button, that when pressed makes a quick quote template on any selected text -- as I used here. Now, until & if an all browser javascript is implemented for quick-quote in this forum, a manual method (any smarter method of your particular choice) is your only recourse......sowieee Last Edit: 2013-12-09, 20:10:37 by SmileyFaze

I only use it because it's the very simplest way to keep stuff I'm currently working on in sync; once a year or so I clean up my stuff there because it tends to accumulate. I was up to nearly 5GB early this summer, but got it down to 50MB in August. Back when I was still limited to 2-3GB it forced me to clean up earlier, which had its benefits.

About a thousand of such files would take merely 10MB, and thanks to compression it might well be a limit closer to 25-30kB.
Re: This is a testing forum Reply #58 – 2013-12-10, 08:35:39 Quote from: j7n on 2013-12-10, 04:02:38Dropbox still has the disadvantages that it is heavy and slow once you get to hundred or so files per directory, and that it may at its own discretion wipe your account on copyright grounds. What's file sharing without an occasional copyright infringement, eh?I've been planning to backup Dropbox less manually. They really wipe your entire account? How would they even know whether the PDFs of articles and books I work with are unlawfully in my possession or not? (Hint: they're not.)

Re: This is a testing forum Reply #63 – 2013-12-20, 16:29:57 :-/ Frans, your "Undecided" requires a backslash which is normally not found within the BrE keyboard layout. For one, I can only have it on my keyboard when in the Russian mode.

Re: This is a testing forum Reply #69 – 2013-12-20, 19:00:15 I've just encountered an apparent glitch with that "new replies etc." stuff: from the board, I saw the "Central" showing "new posts", and the link was in place; I clicked - "no new".It mustn't have been a coincidence of a deleted post - cause I repeated the checking (with reloading) 2 or 3 times.(Congrat me - I'm a fool member now!:hat:)
Re: This is a testing forum Reply #70 – 2013-12-20, 19:04:42 Isn't it more likely that you already opened the new post in the background or something?

Re: This is a testing forum Reply #74 – 2013-12-23, 17:33:23 What about establishing a temporary forum section sort of "Testing area"? I'd like the polling thing to get worked with. It'll require starting several 'fake' topics with the polls differing in settings, that sort...
