New features of the latest version of the forum software

• Auto image resizing - Tired of resizing your own images because they are too big? The forum software now does it for you. If your image is too large the forum software will automatically reduce it to the maximum size for you. I know this improvement is going to be warmly embraced by those who post a lot of charts!
• Multi-Quote feature - I know most of you have experienced the hassle of trying to quote and respond to more than one post in a thread. Now it is easy. Down next to the 'Quote' button you will notice the 'Multi-quote' button. Simply go through the thread and click the multi-quote button next to every post you wish to respond to. You will notice it changes orange to let you know you have seleced that particular post. When you are done, simply hit the quote button on the last post you selected and it will quote all selected posts. Of course, if you are only responding to specific parts of each post you will need to edit the text in between the quote tags as normal.
• Private Message preview in notification emails - If you have elected to receive emails when receiving a new private message, the email will now contain more than just the name of the user who sent you the message. The title and body of the message will also be included.

When doing a search...is it possible for just the page the word is on shows up instead of the whole thread?

For example if you do a search on "nwe" you get heaps of different threads that show up, but trying to read through the whole thread just to see where "nwe" was mentioned can be cumbersome.

I have just figured out (thanks Kimosabi!) that you can also now embed YouTube videos. All it took was inserting some custom BB code.


The correct BB code format can be found here: https://www.aussiestockforums.com/help/bb-codes#youtube

Please do not post any videos that are obscene or offensive in any way. Use your common sense here please!

Another new feature that people may not have noticed is improved thread navigation, which is particularly helpful in finding your way around very long threads.

Improvements are:

1. More page number options.
2. A drop down box where you can enter the particular page number you would like to navigate to.

See the image below. To activate the drop down box, simply click the down arrow next to 'Last' in the page numbers.

Hi Joe,
hopefully this is an easy fix and no big deal if it can't be done. Previously when in the new message page we could click on "last page" and we would be taken directly to the last message posted. Now it takes us to the top of the last page and we have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the last message posted. Its just a little thing but I liked it, but as I mentioned before its not the end of the world.

What ever happened to the journal section, can't seem to find it now?

Also could you perhaps enable a last week's posts as sometimes I don't get a chance to check the site for days on end and trying to read the threads that interest me seems to reset the search function for me at least

There's the 'New Posts' link in the navigation bar, is that what you were after? Or something else?

The "New Posts" is good but has some shortcomings. If you dont log on from say Monday to Wednesday there will be hundreds of new posts when you login on Thursday morning. If you have only a little time to read a few and then log off, the next time you log on later that day, the only new posts are the ones since Thursday morning, all the old posts from Monday to Wednesday dont come up. It usually takes me a few logins to catch up with what I have missed, so a the ability to pull up all new posts in the last week would be great.
