I've never been a fan of silly board mechanisms, so I have no plans. Although, since you reminded me, I took out the gastardly junk from censored word list. Oh, sorry! I always forget it's you that has no sense of humor or fun. ;D

I don't have a "view quotes" button?? Helpful hints on using Multiquote. When you want to quote a post via Multiquote, do this. First, add the post to Multiquote by clicking on the "Add Quote" button, the leftmost in the row of buttons in the bottom right corner of the text area. The button's text changes to "Remove Quote (1)". When you're ready to post, hit the "reply" button, and wait until the post form is loaded. Scroll down to the topic display below the post input area. In the header bar you will see the text "View Topic Summary | View Quotes". Below that you should see the most recent posts in this thread. Click on where it says "View Quotes." The view changes to the posts you have in multiquote from open threads. Pick one of them to insert, and hit the "Insert Quote" button above that post. This will add the quote to the post, and remove it from the Multiquote. Here, for example, is the OP from this thread. <font style="font-size: 12px;">A hush can be heard across the town of Mafiaville. Even the ungifted can sense the foreboding of death. But that is for Tomorrow. ToNight, all is well and talk is free. Night Zero has started. Unlike other Nights, no powers may be used, and talk is not restricted. Dawn is on Wednesday September 2, at 12 noon PT (3pm ET). Two things. One, this appears at the endpoint of the post, not where the cursor is; you might need to do a cut and paste job to put it where you want. Two, you will see that the first quoted text is an HTML tag. This needs to be removed. (I've left it in this one as an example.) Now, we add a randomly selected post from page 3. Hey, y'all - checking in and psyched. These games are always epic. Anyone interested in general strategy discussion? Specifically, we have been given the chance to request roles, and it has been indicated that our preferences will be taken into account when assigning roles. Is there a way to use this information to our benefit? I'm not sure of the answer yet, but it's Night Zero and there are no post restrictions, so what the hell, right? One thing to note; the formatter uses [b r] codes for carriage return and line feed, They seem to work fine. The reason this one appers as a tag, and not as a carriage return + line feed is that there are bold tags in the middle of it to prevent the software from parsing it as a tag. Noparse tags are far more civilised, but I don't believe Proboards have them. Finally here's a quote from another open thread in this forum. I will be going away for the Labor Day weekend. I may be able to get online, but not positive. Not sure yet what time we will be leaving on Friday, so don't expect much (if any) participation on Friday, Sept 4 through Monday Sept 7 (will be home sometime that Monday, and don't know how much stuff will be posted during that time that I will have to read before posting). So there you go. How to multiquote. And I'm playing in Blocky's Mini and I've offered to start a Mini on Giraffe, too. What was I thinking? Beats me. But right now, I'm in four games. Two of them are not yet underway, but how I'm going to feel tomorrow (after they've all started) I don't know.

I don't have a "view quotes" button?? You need to have at least one quote added using the 'add quote' link or it won't appear. Also you must navigate from the same page to a reply page or they get lost.
