Forum usability change requests

[drumjack52]

I’d like to make a couple of requests for usability changes in the forum software. The first is the ability to see the actual post being quoted in a response. Currently one doesn’t see the actual text of the post. This is the only website where in the forums you don’t see the quoted text when formulating a response. This would help when a post being quoted has several items and one is only responding to one and not everything. The second request is the ability to multi-quote several posts so one can cover several items in one post. Again every other website forum allows some form of multi-quoting.

Testing the forum “Quote” function with Jack’s post,

At one time, this ‘quoting’ functionality had worked…

I used it frequently.

I don’t know, Jack.

It looks like it worked for me.

Maybe Support fixed it after your post…

Just tried it here but the way they have it isn’t like any other forum. On other forums there’s a specific icon to click to do a multi-quote. This forum makes you separately quote each post you want with no explanation of how to do things. That’s one of my gripes with this forum s/w and Toontrack documentation in general – lots of functionality that are hidden from those that don’t know the secrets. Couple that with having to have an account to even read threads if all you want is to find something which makes it invisible to the usual search engines – they may show the link but if you don’t have a Toontrack account you’re screwed.
