Do people like those yellow stars? They make the whole thing too busy, but overall it is great.

How about implementing a "Multi-Quote" function for the board? I've see that used on MANY forums! TCB-World and Elvis: It's A Matter Of Time are two message boards I know of that use this wonderful feature.
Ok, thanks, bro!

Re: Official FECC Feature Request Thread
Jordan,
I didn't have the time to read all the posts here, so I'm not sure if this has been suggested but is it possible to tag one person when you create a topic? Just like we do in facebook.
Thanks in advance,
Renan.

Hi Renan.
Nobody has suggested that, but it sounds interesting. something like @Renan or something like that -- but then have it add some sort of functionality like member notification/link to profile?

Hi Jordan,
Another request, if possible. Again, I'm picking things I've seen on other forums, but that I think are either useful, fun, or interesting..
When a user thanks another user in an individual post, is it possible to see their username at the bottom of that post? So it would show up as ..

If you see what I mean..

Re: Official FECC Feature Request Thread
Jordan,
Once again, I'd like to see something on the boards where it would be possible for us to make a hyper-link much easier. For example, if I were to post a link to an article about the recent shootings in Conneticut, it would be nice to be able to write out the actual newspaper's headline on here and have the hyper-link embedded in the headline. Make sense? Here's JUST an example:
"Connetticut Still Mourning Loss Of Children & Teachers" (link embedded in the headline)
The actual "link" should be embedded inside those words and people would just click on them.
Another example: "ELVIS FOUND ALIVE!" (link embedded in the headline)
It's not that I'm too lazy to write out the URL and put the link in that way, it just seems easier to be able to write out the words and embed the link into those words or headlines.
God, I hope that made sense because it almost confused me......
Anyway, I hope you get an idea of what I'm referring to.....

Tony,
I doubt this is possible with BBcode - but I will look into it.

Re: Official FECC Feature Request Thread
For example (a funny one): I create a topic to show everybody how much I love the song My Boy and I want to make sure the guys that hate My Boy reads the topic. So I would tag them writing their login names in the topic. Something like: "check this fecc-mechanic and drjohncarpenter". (just an example LOL). With this, a tag would be created and these names would appear as hyperlink (tried to create with the blue color and the underline), like it is on facebook and the person would be notified via e-mail or through PM that they were tagged. Did you get the idea?fecc-mechanic wrote:Hi Renan.

Re: Official FECC Feature Request Thread
This could be very helpful in some topics. Just one more example: suppose I'm discussing Elvis On Tour footage and the discussion is very interesting and I know a person here in FECC could help with the knowlegde in this matter. So I would tag it like this: "fecc-mechanic, can you add your thoughts here?"

Re: Official FECC Feature Request Thread
These are wonderful ideas, especially about tagging. Because it may make it a bit cozier, and more intimate - that would add a friendlier vibe. (And some people are shy, too, about certain things, and hitting a button might make it easier for some, too.) As for the "auto-bbcode" function, instead of hand-coding it, that will probably take some work. Like those HTML editors that do auto-markup. I imagine it can be done, but do take your time; you've already done so much. And it's Christmastime!
One request could be considered, at some point, since it would make awkward situations more comfortable. If, say, I goof, and remember the wrong quote from the wrong book, it would be nice to correct it with an "Uh oh, My Bad" type smiley. Without having to go into detail.
Enjoy the holiday weekend, Jordan, you've earned it! I wish you and your family much merriment!

Re: Official FECC Feature Request Thread
I just thought of something else...this is something I've only ever seen once before on another forum, that I can remember. I think it was called multi quote. if you wanted to quote more than one post in a thread there was a button under each post to click on, and then when you click "post reply" all the posts you wanted to quote, the ones you clicked on, was in the box where you type...I hope this makes sense

This function is built in.. From the docs:
Code: Select all
Click Post Reply (in Full Editor, not Quick Reply) and scroll down to the Topic Review section at the bottom.
Simply click the "Quote" button next to each quote you want to insert in the reply and it will quote it in your post. [At this point you may want to hit ENTER on your keyboard to put space between the next quote]
Scroll down again to Topic Review and proceed to select any other quotes you want included in your post. Done.
