Glad to hear it works for most of you!

Can you explain a bit more? Do you see the little pop-up after you have selected text in a post? (See SummerRain's screenshot to see what it should look like.)

The add-on is supposedly tested and found to be working with Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer 7, 8, and 9 browsers. I have to install a patch to make it work with Opera browsers apparently. I don't think pop-up blockers should be a problem.

I don't think that I have seen the pop up. I'll try to see if it works when I have a little more time. If it's not easy and something that I can find without reading instructions, it's fine.

shyvas, I figured it out. You don't click the Reply button. You highlight the text with your mouse. When you do that, that's when the Quote Me button shows up, to the right of the highlighted text. You click the button, and the text is saved. It doesn't appear in the reply box until you click the Get Quotes button that appears under the reply box on the left. It also tells you how many quotes you saved to your browser in parenthesis to the right of the words Get Quotes. Once you click the Get Quotes button and all the quotes you saved appear in the reply box, the words Get Quotes under the reply box disappear.

Tx for your help Amy. That looks complicated however I'll see whether it works. :)
 
Haven't been on my desktop yet. Sounds like it will be cool if it works for me. I'm guessing it doesn't work from an iPhone. I'm still trying to get used to the new Tapatalk.

It's not really complicated. It's just a multistep process. Highlight the text you want to quote with your mouse, from left to right. The button Quote Me should appear. Click on that. Then when you're ready to reply, click on the Get Quotes link under the reply box, and the quotes will appear in the reply box. Ta-da!

What's the thread rating add-on for?
Click to expand...
It's to indicate your appreciation of a certain thread. I guess the first post (the "OP") is one of the more important things to consider when you rate a thread, but the other posts in it are important as well of course. All ratings for a thread will be averaged and the resulting average is displayed as a number of stars. To rate a thread, open/click the thread and then there should be some star symbol thing in the top right somewhere. And yes, you can't rate threads you have started yourself.
 
Thanks for the top rating :)

I've just installed an add-on that replaces the social network buttons with a two-click solution which both speeds up the page load and better protects your privacy.
 
Thanks to an upgrade to the anonymous posting add-on there is a new permission setting ...

I've attempted to set the permissions so that we can't see who is viewing threads in any of the "sensitive" forums (men's, women's, members-only health, sexuality, anonymous chat, etc)

I've just upgraded the forum software to the most recent version. The site was offline for only a minute or two, so hopefully it didn't cause too much inconvenience for anyone ...
 
Our host said there were problems with the server during the night, just after 2am over here. It looks like they rebooted and things got back to normal after that.
