    Nevermind, it was turned off at the usergroup level. You should see it now!

      This is a neat feature, but doesn't it have the the potential to make of mess of certain threads?

      Possibly. Thinking I should turn it back off, or just leave it on for a bit and see what happens?

      Might as well see what happens.

      My thought was that this you might end up with multiple side conversations going on in a thread. On the other hand, it might keep threads from being derailed if people use the comments for the off topic stuff.

  • Kung Wu, if someone comments on a post I assume many may never see it unlike an "unread post" which would include posts that quoted another post?

      Yes, that makes sense. I guess comments are for just quick-hitter thoughts, while quoting would be for "continuing the discussion".

          I copy the URL, but then you have to open the advanced editor and click the picture icon and paste it in there, just like on the old site.

            Lol. I give up. When I copy URL on the giphy website and then try to paste it, I get an error saying invalid file name. You're way too busy to be dealing with this. We'll worry about it later. Thanks for your help though!

            I will try it again later and make sure I note the exact steps.

            • When I go to a forum that lists all of the thread, how do I see how many pages each thread has? On vBulletin 4, it showed the page numbers.

                Hmm, I think there might be a mod I can install that lets you have page buttons on the list of topics. Let me check on that.

                    OK I found a mod that costs $20 that does this, but just to be clear, it only shows the pages (and lets you click on them) when you click on a Forum. So once you click the forum it lists all the Topics and below each topic is a bunch of page buttons that you can click on. This behavior does NOT show up when you click "What's new/New Topics" though. Were you talking about when you click on a single Forum or on the New Topics page?

                      The single Forum.

                      • Is the jump to the oldest unread post after clicking on a thread name feature working for everyone? It was for a while for me, which was great and much appreciated, but now it seems to usually go to the end of the page (like where you type posts). I am on Chrome on iPhone.

                        Thanks Kung Wu for the progress - getting much better.

                        • Found the setting to turn off the irritating spam checker for user's posts. Should not have to wait for any posts to be moderated anymore.

                            I bought and installed the mod. It works but the buttons are super ugly and hard to read. I have a post in to the author asking advice on how to make them look better.
