Thread summary "Quote" Button By JR (Read 431 times)

[JR]

I just added a new feature that is called a thread summary "Quote" button. When you reply to a thread you have two types of reply options, the bottom Quick Reply window or if you look over to the right you'll see the button "Normal Reply"

This only applies to the "Normal Reply" function. When one hits the normal reply of course you get the window where you can type your reply but if you scroll down you see what is called the thread summary. The thread summary is of course replies from other members to the thread. But now look to the right at the top of each members reply and you will see a "Quote" Button.

Now of course when you are reading a thread that members have posted on you can single out a member to quote because every reply by a member has the quote button there to use. But after you hit the normal reply to post you can't view what members have said except to scroll down and look at the thread summary. I use the thread summary a lot when I'm replying because sometimes I have to reference what people have said when I do reply.

Now if you're reading the thread summary and see that a member said something that you missed earlier you can now hit the new Quote Button and it will insert that members words in your reply in the form of a quote like it would any other place.

Just tried it, not sure if this will work as there is no option to see what it will actually look like posted, before posting.

Not so Tomcat. As soon as you hit quote it pastes the quote you chose on the page, just like above. Now remember this button pastes the entire quote on the page.

In other words you see a distorted version of what the post is going to actually look like (I added the 5 *'s at the end to prevent it from changing upon posting).
On other forums, when you preview you see the final version, so it's probably an option you can incorporate here.
No biggie, thanks for all you do!

Edit-Edit:  I can't get the garbled version to even post, so please delete this whole thing.
Thanks

Tomcat that is not a garbled version but rather the post done in what is called BBCode. When you hit the quote button just start typing under the BBCode (garbled) reply and then hit create post and it'll look right just like the reply I'm sending here. In this new quote add on it puts the quote in the BBCode version not the Preview one and I'm working on that.

It's no big deal JR, both of us have already wasted too much time on a minor issue. Sorry I brought it up
Merry Christmas!!!!
