I am afraid that "Forum moderators now appear on the staff list again" is still not working. At least not o my board nor my test board.

I remember ElementalAlchemist saying that once CLASS BBCode will be released for boards, he will create a manual how to use it to get some nice effects, as well as generally he will do some fancy BBCodes with it :r So, I am sure that Support Board Members are waiting when You will do that ;)

I did not tested all the features yet, but I think the best one is multi quote + checkboxes that now carry across topic and forum pages.

We are already aware of forum moderators not appearing and a quirk involving the ability to evade merge.
(Specifically, if the "after cut off" section is set to don't merge, the checkbox doesn't appear even if your post would merge (before the cut off) and the post doesn't merge.)

To use multiquote, press the checkboxes next to the quote button on posts
I'm not sure it should be a Check box. That looks kind of messy. Why not make it another button that we can make an image for as "Multiquote"

I hate to say this, but I had no idea what that little check box was for until I read the update here. How is a member new to the forum supposed to know it's fr a multiquote? Make it an image please. Give us an idea about what it is or give us the opportunity to turn it off of our forum if we don't like that little check box.

I did? O_O Well, in that case, here you go:

HEY BOARD OWNERS! Ever wanted special formatting in your posts? Ever wanted not-so-special formatting that changes by theme? Look no further! The ZetaBoards [class] tag has you covered. It's everything you've ever wanted. Trust me.

For example, have you ever wanted text that's bold, italic, and exactly 272.3% the size of normal text?
Code:
 
.bbcode-xyz {
font-weight: 700;
font-style: italic;
font-size: 272.3%; /* Your browser may vary. Pick less specific numbers for less variance. :P */
}
And voila! Suddenly [class=xyz]this text[/class] is bold, italic, and exactly 272.3% the size of normal text!

All other CSS can apply. Put it in the JavaScripts section of your board template:
Code:
 
<style type="text/css">.bbcode-xyz { /* some CSS here */ }</style>
Or at the bottom of your theme's CSS:
Code:
 
.bbcode-xyz { /* some CSS here */ }
And enjoy your special posts! Call now!

The issue with making a multiquote image is that every theme that currently exists for ZB will need to have a multiquote button added to its graphics set.

About the checkboxes not appearing on forums that moderators cannot moderate on, here's a screenshot:

The HTML tables are messed up (I hid all the topic info).

I like the new features though, really awesome.

An image was brought up as a potential candidate, and the beta version of it did use an image. But here's the problem: if we left it as an image, then every single theme made for ZB to date is now missing a multiquote button. There wasn't really any way to win. People don't like the checkboxes, sure, but I have a feeling that people would be irritated if all of their themes were now missing an image. That would look tackier.

There is an option to turn it off, though, in the topics & posts section of your preferences in the Admin CP. :)

I'm not sure whether it's an issue that I'm only experiencing or if something is entirely wrong, but viewing disabled themes as theme manager still doesn't work. Cody told me to try "Ctrl + F5", but I still got nothing.

So it would seem. Acknowledged.

Please read.

I, for one, am quite pleased that there has been an update with so many crucial bug fixes. And am thankful for it.
How about more of that than just the usual ignoring staff posts and stating what's been said? :)
