The board software has just been upgraded to VBulletin 3.6. There are a number of new features available. Some of them include:
1. Multi-Quote
Beside the normal "quote" button at the end of each message is a small "multi-quote" button. You can click this on multiple posts, and then the next time you hit "quote" all of the selected messages will be quoted at once.
(Also, if you use the "quote" button rather than doing quotes yourself, a handy little link will be included to the post you quoted).
2. "CC" field in PMs
Now, when you send a PM to multiple recipients, everyone will see all the people the PM was sent to. The "To" field now acts just like an email "To" or "CC" field. If you want to send a PM to some people without other recipients knowing, use the "BCC" field just like in email.
3. Receive PMs by email
If you're set to receive email notifications when you receive a PM, now the full PM message will be included in the email.
4. Choose search results as posts or threads
You can now choose to view search results as posts or as threads without having to click on "advanced search".
5. There are new limits on signatures to keep them under control.
Signatures are now limited to 5 lines and larger size fonts cannot be used. Too many people have been getting around the 140 character limit by using many lines and/or very large text.
