This is a test of my theory.

Okay, they released a *new* Quick Reply mod .. specifically for YaBB v2.2.1 (2 days ago):

http://www.boardmod.org/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=beta_y22;action=display;num=120631230...

It'll take me a little to figure out exactly how to implement, cuz I also have installed the Quick quote mod, which is dependent on the Quick Reply mod. But good news nonetheless.

That Jet Li guy (from Germany) is a coding madman.

They are calling it "Advanced Version." Guess we'll have to install to see what is "advanced".

It's still officially in 'beta' but I ain't scared. =)

Speaking of "notifications," John .. I also noted they have an "Advanced" notification mod:

http://www.boardmod.org/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=beta_y22;action=display;num=120591418...

Does that sound like something we want?

Update: The new Quick-quote mod is already contained in the (new) Quick-Reply mod. Cool. That's how it should be.

I uninstalled the old Quick Reply & Quick quote mods, and installed the new "Advanced" Quick Reply mod, which contains Quick quote, altho it does not seem to be working properly. Will troubleshoot.

I see the following text, which doesn't look right:

{yabb qqname}  and {yabbqquote}

Otherwise, you can now set both (height/width) and for the Quick Reply box. Pretty cool.

The quick quote function isn't working.

I figured it out .. had to re-up (previously modded) Display.template file to my /blk_gry3d folder .. since we use a different style/template. This file was UNmodded when I UNinstalled the old Quick-Reply and Quick-quote mods.

All seems to be working very nicely now, no?

Hi Joe. 3-year old stuff .. the park, swings, jungle gym, throwing rocks in the water, climbing trees, watching Pooh movies. Even saw Tarzan for the 1st time. (Movie/Disney vdo)

I installed the email mod today John. Lemme know what you think. Any problems? Easy mod. 3 files.

Very nice.  The entire new post is in the email, which was a real surprise.

You have too much time on your hands ...   

Thanks.

No, at least from what I have seen.  When you first save your reply, it appears the email is sent.  I've seen a few emails that were different from the post when I went to the website to view it.

When I first asked about getting more info on the emails, the old yabb version sent a "standard" email, but the subject contained the Subject Title of the post, so if you saw your inbox with 10 emails, you could easily see from the thread title, which one had a reply.  It was a nice summary.

I know of other forum boards that are like yabb is now:  you get an email with the contents of the post.

Either (or both) are nice additions.

Because of the (previous) small text size, I almost always modified my posts, to either correct spelling or to make something clearer.  Now, since I know the *first* reply is emailed out, I tend to spend more time before hitting reply.

Also at one time there was a small "post modified on ..." added whenever you modified your post.  I have mixed feelings on that.

P.S. I hope all these mods won't make it harder for you to upgrade in the future, or make it a longer process.

So what happened to the small enhancement that just showed the thread title in the email?  That seemed like a small yet beneficial addition.

Mine is just one opinion.  You have many members (and LOTS of guests) so let them weigh in.
