Have you checked your preferences - if you select advanced editor you can use quote/bold/underline & co even in quick reply.Quote:
no "bold" , "code" ..etc when editing a post ,and "code" is *important* , make users easy to read , and l don't like *xxx* to represent "bold" ..:)
Thanks Omar. Unfortunately it lists your posts and not your threads, so multiple posts to the one thread appear - but it's still useable. It'd also be nice to see who the last poster was. Other functionality appears to be good though.Quote:

I have to say that at least for me the forum loads and moves a LOT faster then it used to.
It appears to me that every thread I have participated is automatically added to "subscriptions", and can be viewed from "User CP". I'm not sure if it's the default or something I did while playing around with the options, though.
Hear, hear. And I like "Quick Reply" very much.Quote:

l like to ask question here and l love spring forum very much -- simply because a lot of helpful people here.:)
l don't know why the forum being changed to vBulletin , the forum's performance seem to be one of the problem , yes , l notice too , the old forum was a little bit slow this few months , l wonder why it getting slow ? so l went to download a phpbb's source code , study how they design the database tables , and l found the database shema (mysql_shema.sql) , here is a code snipplet ,
l was thinking that , what if the phpbb_posts_text tables growth fast in a high volume forum ?Code:CREATE TABLE phpbb_posts_text (
post_id mediumint(8) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
bbcode_uid char(10) NOT NULL,
post_subject char(60),
post_text text,
PRIMARY KEY (post_id)
);
if the number of posts growing fast , will this cause the database performance getting slower ? of course , you won't see the problem, this is unnoticeable now, but the fast growing of phpbb_posts_text is a fact . The response time of hibernate forum is consider OK now , but what if 5 or 10 years later ?
Although this is a common database tables design (phpbb) , but l seldom see people discuss the performance impact on a database after 5 or 10 years , l search a lot references .. found no info ..
My question can be is simply restate - can vBulletin satify us after 15 year (or more) ?
l guess there must be a lot DBA expert here ....hahaha

PS.
l just checked , spring have 38,727 posts , and hibernate have 98,264 now , this is far from my meaning of high volumn - so let's assume phpbb_posts_text have 10 millions posts.
the Gentoo Linux forum site uses phpBB and doesn't seem to suffer too many performance issues. They have appx. 100,000 registered users and 3m posts. :)

return the old forums, please !!!
This is just too busy, with way too many frames around the frames around the frames. Whose idea was it to upgrade? Fine the person who did it by amking him/her do 45 push-ups.
The issue with the thread title seems to be that you put an xml element in it. It shows up properly on display of the thread in the smaller thread title a bit down, but not in the main thread title. There appears to be no way after the fact to edit the thread title.Quote:

As for why your message was all bold, I'm not 100% sure. After editing by me to set <c:otherwise> back to what it should be, it was no longer bold...
