    Those of you asking how to multi-quote, you just click reply on each individual message you want to quote.

    You'll notice once you've clicked Reply the first time (there is a little quotation symbol by it by the way) it'll take you down to the text box at the bottom, click reply on the next one you also want to include and then that'll appear there too.

    No you're right, apologies! I was looking at the very bottom for it but it's perfectly placed where it is.
    Also would add that I have the same problems as WAS, either first or last post.

    Do me a favour, when you look at the New Posts list, hover over a thread and copy/paste the URL into here for me (put it in code /code bb boxes)

    Love the direct phone upload by the way: it really works well.

    Banner is fixed too.

    It's annoying me that Google is choosing to put some WFC Forums links in with the adverts.

    Stop! That doesn't make the site any money!

    Just what happens when (bottom screen) I click WFC forums at the top.

    I wanted to try the new upload tool too.

    I see, that's strange. It's not happening to me on computer, but let me try on a mobile device.

    I ended up logging in again on the yellow screen, and now it works fine.

    Not doing it on here either, could it be something with your phones internet settings maybe?

    Could be a Chrome thing?

    Fixed it anyway, so it's all good.

    Some go to the first post of a thread, others to the first unread and others to the last post in the thread

    This new version of the forum is great. I love it......well done.

    The only thing that I've found which is not correct is the post count being doubled. Other than that, it's much better than the older version.

    Thanks for all your work on getting the forum back up SM.

    A quick one, how do I get it back to 50 posts a thread?

    Thanks!

    Interestingly, I lost the comma in my board name. PFCFitz, YellowArmy is now just PFCFitz YellowArmy.
    I won't miss it. Now that you mention it, any chance of reducing it just to Fitz?

    Yes I meant to message you Fitz, had to remove the comma as this place doesn't understand punctuation in a username! Will change it to Fitz for you now.

    Cheers! Yeah, I checked it after the match but thought we were getting ransom hacked or something. Finally figured it out on the 3rd try. Much appreciated for the name edit!

    It looks like only 3 people get "named" when a post is liked - it then says "and 1 other person" (etc).

    On inspection it looks like it stems from when we were hacked a while ago, Google haven't reviewed since then so I've requested one immediately.

    Yep, this is to avoid clutter.

    Ah, our first issue. This new software doesn't allow user specified posts p/page due to the way it parses it's links etc.

    I can globally change it, but we'd all have to agree on a suitable amount, and for those on mobile devices, the less amount on a page the better for loading times etc.

    I've always viewed the forum at 50 a page. It makes is so much easier to follow threads and I've never really understood why people stuck with less - it makes everything so bitty. Surely it won't affect loading times that much?

    Happy to give it a go and see how people go.

    It only becomes an issue in a thread where people are posting lots of embedded media (youtube, images etc) but we don't have too many of those.

    I've increased it a bit to 35, not quite to 50 yet.

    That's a good compromise, always preferred 20 myself.

    Another one when using my mobile.

    When I press reply and quoted text appears in the reply box at the bottom of the page I can only delete text by selecting it and choosing to cut it (as in cut and paste) or by dropping the cursor in and deleting word by word. If I select it and press delete to get rid of a chunk nothing happens. The text stays selected but doesn't disappear.

    Anyone else still getting directed to the last post when clicking on a thread rather than last unread?

    Just a small point, when someone is quoted and their name appears in the grey/silver bar at the top of their post, I struggle to see whose post it is on my screens. as their name in black isn't very clear unless I look at my screen at the right angle. Maybe a tweak with the colours?
