Grey Wolf
Wouldn’t It Be Nice If the site had…

1 Preview
The option of previewing your post before posting it (this has been mentioned previously be for by both Raupi and psault).

2 Basic formatting
Some basic bold, underline, italic tags would be good along with possibly a heading tag or two.

3 Delete/move posts
Being able to delete or move your own erroneous post posting.

4 Private messaging
I don’t mind having private communications, but I do not want to publicise my email address.

5 Thread tracking
Being notified when there has been activity on a thread that you are participating in.

6 Highlight new posts
Highlighting new posts since your last log in is a great time saver if you are like me and ‘drop in’ a few times while at work.

Any more?

8 An inline code tag.
There are times when you may want to make reference to a function call or other line of code in a sentence. It would be good to have this part of the sentence formatted as the code block. e.g.
"after you call [icode]cin >> x;[/icode] it is advisable to call [icode]...[/icode]"

Hi guys,
Your feedback is very appreciated.
I've been implementing some of your suggestions, and they are now live for testing in the forums...


1 Preview
The option of previewing your post before posting it (this has been mentioned previously be for by both Raupi and psault).

Now, there is a "Preview" button available when you are writing a message - this opens a popup showing how your message will look like.


2 Basic formatting
Some basic bold, underline, italic tags would be good along with possibly a heading tag or two.

Some formatting is available using simple bbcode tags - a set of buttons also appears to the right of the edit box with the tags available.


3 Delete/move posts
Being able to delete or move your own erroneous post posting.

The last post in a thread will be deletable by its own author, but only before it is answered.


4 Private messaging
I don’t mind having private communications, but I do not want to publicise my email address.

Private messaging is now possible. It requires that the user has this feature enabled in his/her user settings. To reach your user settings click on "user cp" right bellow your nickname on the right sige of the blue band on top of all pages.


5 Thread tracking
Being notified when there has been activity on a thread that you are participating in.

In your user control panel you can now follow the threads you are participating in.


6 Highlight new posts
Highlighting new posts since your last log in is a great time saver if you are like me and ‘drop in’ a few times while at work.

This should work already once you have logged in at least twice.


7 Quoting
A quote button under each post, when clicked inserts something like "<username> wrote: <text>" in your post.

It is one of the new formatting bbcode tags ("quote").


To see all the posted which a user sent

In the user's profile you can see his/her las 5 posts. For your own posts, you can reach the active posts where you have participated in the user control panel.


8 An inline code tag.

The "code" bbcode tag now works also for inline code: cin >> x;.

Thanks, Gery Wolf, Steak Rider and ropez for your suggestions.

Thanks for adding the new functionality - sounds good.

Just one more thing to ask - Can we get all new users to read Grey Wolfs 'How To Ask...' article before they post:-)

As if by magic the Beginers board has changed - thanks!
