I am I Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Logged on tonight, I notice things are different w the layout. Change is hard, but I'm not crazy about the function and look of things. Aaaaand, carry on. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 What are the differences between new and old? This was a slight update, not a major one -- but I notice on my Android, it will default to to the mobile skin now. Maybe that's what's happening? You're seeing the mobile version for the first time.

I am I Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 It's got different dots, when people "quote" a post it doesn't show the little box around it, it just says I am I said at 7:55 am: Which is annoying. Couple other little things. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I've notice that the quote feature is not as easy to work with, not just on the mobile version but the regular version as well. It takes a little getting used to and it's not as easy to manipulate as it used to be.rabble rabble rabble 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The new quote system is bollocks. It worked fine before. This "fix" didn't fix anything. Quote Link to comment
Excel Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The new quote system is bollocks. It worked fine before. This "fix" didn't fix anything. It works ok when just quoting one person but multiple people is weird. Not a fan. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Different dots? I am I, can you check on a laptop if what you're seeing is just the IP.Mobile skin on your iPhone?What's different about quoting? There was an issue with the mobile skin CSS. That should be fixed for now. The good folks at Invision decided to rename a few things here and there, which removed the styling that had been in place for them. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The quotes seem to be fixed. There is actually a box around each quote now. The dots are just the icons beside each thread (like the star in a thread you posted in). I think it's always been there, just not as bold and obvious. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The quotes seem to be fixed. There is actually a box around each quote now. Not in Chrome....at least not until it's posted. Quote Link to comment

Not in Chrome....at least not until it's posted.That's what I am talking about in safari too. Before, if you were reading a thread and there was a post of someone quoting a conversation, it would basically look like this: Person 3 said: Person 2 said: Person 1 said: Stuff person 1 wrote. Stuff person 2 wrote. Stuff person 3 wrote. There were no boxes around each quote, just spaces, which is hard to decipher when people write a couple paragraphs of text. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Mav, in mobile and on chrome I get BBcode ( ...) when I'm posting a quote. On the full version the fully styled quote boxes appear in the post box. This quote thing, as far as I can tell, is an issue of missing stylesheet stuff -- not an intended change. So when you see something like that, don't assume it's supposed to be that way, and thanks for reporting them! Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thanks for the input. I had thought about saying something a couple times be never gotten around to it. To me, I thought it was supposed to be the "new look" because not only is the bracketed quote /quote was gone and now the material to be quoted is indented. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 I tried quoting in IE 11 (first time I've opened IE in I don't know how long - Windows 8) and if I click the quote balloon in reply box I get a balloon with a "Quote" heading and a nice box so it's easy to see. But if I try to quote a previous post, it jumps me to the reply box but I get nothing. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Ooh, good catch. That one looked like a problem with the software as shipped, but there was a recent fix released. Should be OK now. Quote Link to comment
