very Good. Thanks. You’ve a knack for enhancing things; your Nomad, the forum, and I bet your house must be like Wallace and Gromits ?

Oh, I nearly forgot (Thanks [mention]phil4[/mention])...

There's a new multi-quote button too which allows you to select multiple posts for your quoting pleasure.

2 usability enhancements to the forum

In addition to the recent forum enhancements such as embedded YouTube videos, email digests and the new look and feel, we bring you news of 2 more plugins that we hope will make posting to the forum that little bit easier.

Copy and Paste images
Previously, to post an image, you had to click the attachments tab, upload the image, place it inline and repeat. Either that or embed the image URL from somewhere else.

Now, you can simply copy the image and paste. The text will look something like this:

NOTE: It will paste whatever image you last copied, so please check before posting :-X


Smart quoting
Previously, when quoting a post, the whole post was quoted for you to spend ages editing to get to the juicy bits, which was quite boring.

Now, when you highlight text in a post, a Quote button appears and quotes just the text selected.

That's it really. Nothing earth shattering, but hopefully useful.
