BTW, good look. Is there a facility to encapsulate a quote on the toolbar? I can't seem to find one.

if you click quote it puts it on your clipboard and then when you go to reply you can hit "add quotes" and put them into your post

Im having trouble navigating still but have only been online for a bit. I just marked the entire forum read as it was showing old articles as new for me.

What I was looking for is what was on the old format. There was a "quote" tool button that allowed any text to be placed in a quote box. If I am quoting a teaser from an article, I would place that tease in the "quote" box.

Next to smiley, photo and movie icons there is a plus sign,. click plus sign and you will see quote button (and spoiler button!)

I'm having problem reading the wording as the text seems too light on the threads. However, when I'm typing the "Post Reply" before submission it looks awesome.

Anyone have any thoughts.

Does the text look darker now? I made an adjustment.

I'm loving it. Awesome job fellas.

Thanks. It was long overdo, but glad we finally made the change. We have a great crew (basically 1 person!) that helped format it with little/no downtime

I was excited last night when I saw the forum was down for the change!

Looks like some of the previous youtube links are busted and redirect to the forum home.

A lot faster loading too.

FYI, you need a new design on the Suns Custom theme. It's got Goran Dragic in the upper right corner.

Excuse my ignorance, but how are you adding spoilers without writing out the tag? I don't see an option on the toolbar during posting.

Click the plus sign next to the smiley, portrait and video icons. Then you will see quote and spoiler buttons.
