Thanks for the update, all. But, it's spawned a bug in S4. I hail from VagrantEpochers, on s4, and this most recent update has caused the Header of "Title --- Topic Starter --- Replies --- Views --- Topic Info" to all be shifted one column to the right. Except! for the subforum in which I hold moderation power. Curiously enough, the header appears normally for a normal user. This bug was observed in the latest Chrome release (14.0.835.163) and in Firefox 6.0.2 Oh, This is the same thing as Pando at Post #8. ... Looks like the header block that was above the checkboxes wasnt dealt with, so it forced everything over. Looking forward to a fix. Many Thanks. ~Kuma. |

The multiquote function is not available on some converted boards (it would appear). The check box is not available on my ZB Server 8 board, but does appear on my Server 1 Test board. The latter was not converted from IF. I checked another ZB Server 2 board that had been converted from IF and the multiquote function was not available on it either. |

It is available, you just have to turn it on. Preferences -> Topics & Posts -> Enable multiquote -> Yes This board is converted, after all, and it's here.

I have noticed that all the previous classes in ACP I had stopped working, Since now only "class='bbcode-" are working in gropu prefix. Tomorrow I will investigate, if this is my fault, or upgrade fault. |

Thanks. Weird how I didn't need to turn it on for my test board. It was just enabled. Can't say that I am happy about the check box being in the middle of the Report and Quote button. But at least there is a new multiquote feature. |

Sometimes things just work out funny with the converted boards. My own board is converted, and I often have to go turn the new updates on myself when they're already available on the boards that were on ZB from the start. |

Other than the multiquote function, the best upgrade was...
A very much needed feature. Thank you. |

1. I am very happy that the large list of bugs was finally acknowledged. I must say I think it took longer than it should but better late then never. No room to complain when it does finally work. Good job on that fellas. 2. I'm happy you finally included the multiquote feature. This is something that I thought should of been included long ago. Glad to see Zetaboards is moving with the times. However, I too am not a fan of the check box. It is hard for people unfamiliar with forums to understand what it is. As well, it truly looks tacky. Especially since it's stuck between other buttons. I know you guys didn't want to mess with other themes, but I think you guys should be considering the future. There really are only a hand full of themes that are used constantly by boards. It wouldn't be too long before buttons were made to match those themes. Now, all new themes that come out, won't have buttons either. You should include a way to choose between a button and a check box. Honestly, I feel like you're skipping out on a better future in order to preserve some old themes. 3. I'm a bit disappointed it didn't include a reputation and like/dislike system. Like 9/10 people I've talked to said they wish there was one already available. No offense to anyone, but the current ones out there suck. With the exception of the facebook style like/dislike system. 4. It would of been nice if you included the ability to give a board wide announcement. But I guess simple HTML and CSS could swap for that. 5. This seems to me like more of a huge bug fix. And update instead of an upgrade. But it's a good start. |

I'm so glad to see an upgrade, a lot of these new features have been the most requested features. I'm personally so glad to see the class BBCode fully operational. I will be playing around with them. #search_results_topics table still doesn't have an ending table tag. |

Perhaps a simple compromise to the checkbox issue would be to rearrange the buttons so that Quote comes before Report. It might not satisfy some of you, but it'd be an improvement over the current setup (which isn't that bad once you get used to it). One battle at a time, though.

That feature exists. If you need help locating it, please open a support topic or a ticket. As to multiquote checkbox: I am positive a code can be whipped up to replace the checkbox with an image. Go to ZNR. Stop yer moanin' |

Thanks. I was unaware that existed. As for the multiquote, I'm not moaning. I just think if they are going to implement something, they should build on it so that is more customizable. If someone already has to go to ZNR for a code, they might as well not even include the multiquote feature. However, I do agree with Cody, if they moved it over to the end of the button strings, it would be nicer. |

There's already tons of valid results on Google for styling check boxes, for those interested. |

The table generator needs some work in my opinion. I have some personal rules about how UIs should be made but I'll leave those aside and just give some more general feedback about it: Suggestions:
Oh, one other thing about the list bbcode, if you select some text and click on the button then it will insert an extra linebreak after the [*]. Overall, I like a few of the updates and fixes though I haven't tried many out yet. Good work!

Multi quote is not working on my board. Previously I had this add on: <script type='text/javascript' src='http://z1.ifrm.com/0/2/0/p402266/multi_quote_right.js'></script> Which allowed for multiquote, and the box was to the right of the quote. I removed this code, because we had two checkboxes, and only the one on the right (from the code) worked. My Multiquote function in Preferences is enabled, and there is now only the one checkbox (bad location, I agree. It looks as if you might be attempting to Report several posts) but it doesn't work. Works fine for me here on Zathyus, but not on my board. ETA: I ended up disabling the new ZB multiquote and re-added the ZNR code back. It works better and I prefer the checkbox locations. EATA: Mine is not a converted board. It is on s4 if that matters. Would it not be better though to move the new feature (checkbox) to the right and leave Report where it is? I can't imagine the headache of all the people inadvertently hitting Report instead of Quote, out of habit. I had to alter the color on our Report button because it was so close to Quote. I'm afraid if they're swapped, it would be a bit of a pain for Admins to deal with. Though not a huge thing, still, it makes more sense to me to move the location of the new feature instead of a pre-existing one. Unless they changed the Report button to an exclamation type icon. (Or I suppose I could do that m'self. )
