Rayman Pirate-Community

Heya, Nikol here. Just wondering if I can suggest a feature that can possibly be implemented into this beautiful community, and that is multiquoting.

This is present in most forums I've been in, and even some virtual pet sites with forums have this feature.

It would help to be able to multiquote because it wouldn't lead to double posts responding to two different people by mistake.

Multiquoting is basically replying to multiple quotes by different people in one post. When you select Multiquote on the posts you want to quote and reply to, there would be a counter stating how many quotes you want to respond to, then you can reply to those in the reply box. This would potentially bring down instances of double posting on accident, thus less accidental rule breaks or just rule breaks involving posting in general.

(Yes, I know I am no exception, I have double or multiposted twice and I apologize for that.)

EDIT: I will take feedback on this, I am no stranger to feedback or criticism.

phpBB actually does have the feature click Full Editor & Preview and you’ll see a quote button in the post review screen which adds it to the text area.

It does? Weird, cuz it doesn't stick out to me I guess... time to hide myself in embarrassment and possibly delete this XD

Haha good luck deleting it – phpBB won’t let you after somebody has replied xD

NNNOOOOOOOO!!! now I have to live with this embarrassment forever!

Yes, this is also mentioned in the guidelines:

That said, it's quite broken, in that you can select a portion of a message to quote, but if that portion itself contains a quote, the generated BBcode syntax gets screwed up with HTML tags. There are probably other subtle breakages too, arising from the fact that phpBB is sadly quite undermaintained these days due to the decline in popularity of forums

Nah, there are more embarassing things from other people out there, trust me.

That was NOT my intention at all.

Ack, yeah that makes sense. It's a shame that forums are not popular anymore as they once were.

Yeah but sometimes I'm pretty new to these things though, so aaaaaa it's not anyone's fault but mine!
