I've disabled the spy feature for now, might actually uninstall it completely since there were no configuration settings for it and it seems to be ignoring all sorts of privacy settings. Sorry for not testing this better before installing it.

 

[Digger]

Didn't even know there was a spy feature available here... but it sounds quite ominous!

 

[Second Summer]

Installed add-on that makes your list of conversations (PMs) slightly more manageable.

 

[Second Summer]

I updated the "join user group" add-on a couple of days ago. There are a couple of issues with the new version it seems, but it's mostly working...

 

[Second Summer]

I've just updated the Flexile Dark styles to the latest version.

 

[Second Summer]

Just updated the tag add-on (and another add-on I no longer remember why I installed ...)

 

[Second Summer]

I've just installed an add-on that will make quoting posts easier. Just select the particular text you want to quote with your mouse, and then a little pop-up button with the text "Quote Me !"should appear. Click this button to copy the text into your browser's memory. A little link called "Get Quotes" will appear under the editor area. Click this link to get all the quotes from the browser memory into the post editor. This feature works across multiple pages and across threads. Please note that the quotes will be deleted from the browser memory after 10 minutes.

Heh that's really neat.

Hmm... I've tried this in Mozilla FF and in IE. Both times I didn't see any popup button saying Quote Me.

 

[Amy SF]

Does it not work if you have a popup blocker installed? I suppose that would be the reason why I didn't see any popup button.

 

[SummerRain]

I'm using firefox and I have pop-ups blocked and it works okay. I took a screenshot in case it helps anybody!

Just tried it again. Still doesn't work for me.

I'"m in the same boat.

 

[RabbitLuvr]

Works for me on Chrome. Very cool.

Sweet. Works for me on IE 8.

 

[Spang]

Just select the particular text you want to quote with your mouse

It works.

 

[Amy SF]

Oh, now it works.

I'm so stupid.

 

[Second Summer]

Glad to hear it works for most of you!

I'"m in the same boat.

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.

 

[Amy SF]

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.
