It seems that we now have the Quick Reply function working. If you would like to test it out on this thread and let me know if you have any issues.

Huge thanks to phloggy for taking the time to identify the coding issue.

AJ, you can link an image in Quick Reply, as long as it is hosted somewhere (like www.imgur.com). Or just use "Reply" and the attach image buttons, then you can attach pics directly from your computer.

Thanks everyone for testing, it all looks good for various browsers. Massive thanks again to Phloggy for finding a simple fix. And thanks to my Brother for implementing Phloggy's fix so promptly.

Hey WeirdBits, refer my email, as far as I can see your email is not being deleted.

It is great to know we have a computer whizz in the family :)

Your next mission, if you choose it, is to work out how people can change their handle without loosing their postings etc...

If you can work this out we could change Kelooie's handle to PEST!

Hey Phloggy, I think the least we can offer you for your effort is a free T-shirt.. what size are you? M, L, or XL?

DB, we can do this, we just delete the account and mark all posts to the new username. It would mean the user needs two email addresses.

Cool.. Lets mess with the Pest and change his handle :)

Adam, i was proudly wearing my "Coburn Sound" T-Shirt this weekend.....got mobbed by a groupie who was ADAM ANT that I was in the band....An interesting experience, she was blonde, blue eyes, fairly tall and about 60!

No problem Phloggy, that's how committed we are to customer service, we have lost the ability to recognize clever quips.

Well played Sir.

Hey Gav, she sounds quite representative of our fanbase. That's why our shows always finish before 9pm.

This is actually pretty doable, only it'd be working directly on the database so it's got the potential to really screw things up.

Actually, Adam, can't you do this via the Wordpress Dashboard? Just log in as Admin, go to the Users tab, find Pest and update his nickname?

haha yer, I need my handle changed to Pest!!!

adam

Pest, if you want to change your handle to Pest, then set up a new account with that name. I assume you will need a different email address to do this, so if you haven't got one, just make a new hotmail account.

Then, I'll go and delete your keloooe account and mark all your previous posts to the new Pest account. I think I prefer The Pest... it has more grandeur.

I feel so much better now knowing I'm not the only genius(!) who is finding old habits hard to break! Just don't ask me how many times I have had to retype my messages!

if you do that, just hit the back arrow at the top in ff and it should take you back to where the message is ... done it a few times myself now.

AJ, I just tested this in Chrome and it doesn't work. I don't think I can justify switching to Firefox just because I can't break old habits.

AJ

I use FF mainly, but also have a few of the other browsers also, like IE, Chrome, waterfox Opera

A lot of people at school use Torch, which is also made by Google, it's pretty much 1:1 on Chrome (which I use!!!) IMO

FF is good, especially since you can modify the code to allow multiple profiles to use the browser on the same computer at the same time, can also get it to go turbo also :)
Plenty of info out in cyberspace to do the deeds to achieve that ;)

Come to think of it, Chrome also allows you to create multi profiles running at the same time also.. ;)
