It works like that. So you dont need to quote one message then have to copy and paste another and add the quote commands. Just click on the multiquote button on the posts you want to quote then click quote on one of them.

Yes, just wanted to use it to be sure how it works.

Moved here from OD.

MishYs just upgraded and we're all poking around looking into the new features. Post your observations here and if you have any problems using existing or new features can they be posted here, not in OD so MishY can keep track, thanks.

back to the drawing board im going to have to practice with that

I was trying to see a post and i was locked out with the "you are not authorised screen.."
can i ask a question..
if a post is removed from CTH for any reason ( perhaps one was removed a minute ago ) if i try to view it and it has been removed but i havent refreshed my page would that give me the error

**smurfy** · #10 August 7th, 2006, 12:55 PM

Yep, the mods online at the moment are testing the new features WE get as well.
There were a couple of testing posts in Comments forum for no more than a minute each that you probably would have got the "no permission" message about.

That explains it thank you

Are there any more new features hiding anywhere
noticed the reason for editing button at the bottom of the post

Your PM box is XX% full.

Is that new too, or have I just not seen it before?

Very handy multi quote feature methinks.

Well done to all responsible.

The Quick Search box has been expanded. User CP looks unchanged. The "please wait while posting" message has changed.

PMs now have BCC option

The Multi-Quote feature is actually far more powerful that you might first think.
Select a post to quote from a couple of different threads (the icon will change colour and the + will change to -) then go to a completely different thread and post a reply and you can quote those multiple posts in that reply by selecting You have selected # post(s) that are not part of this thread. Quote these posts as well, or deselect these posts.
