I'm going to kill everybody

Apparently <a href="http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=59713">this</a> is a problem again.

[Masamune·1600]

I think it dates back to the server move; that's when it really became apparent (at least for me). I had assumed that people had been abusing the quote pyramids again, and had figured that this was just an outgrowth. But, yeah, it needs to be fixed. It's tedious to quote-within-a-quote manually.

[crono_logical]

Wasn't me that fixed it last time, but yeah, I noticed it broke when we upgraded to 3.5 :p Seems to work fine in PMs though, since I've got a rather large one in there at the moment :p

[Raistlin]

I think BoB said that it defaulted to that in the upgrade. I think we should change it, too.

[eestlinc]

yea it sucks because if you quote someone who has a quote in the middle of their post, it just jambs the two sections together in a completely nonsensical manner.

[theundeadhero]

Maybe you just don't understand it's sense of humor.

[eestlinc]

that's the worst name ever!

[Leeza]

We already had a thread on this somewhere, Kishi, but you were absent during that time. :)

I'm not going to search for that thread due to time restrictions, but, wasn't it sort of agreed in that thread that we would just leave it as it is now?

[Raistlin]

Only by stupid people. Smart people want it changed. Cool people, too. <img src="http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/user/avatar/avatar92_13.gif">

[Del Murder]

I'm going to guess about 12 posts.

[Yamaneko]

This is a template thing, right? We're not doing anything until we're upgraded to vB 3.5.1.

This is a template thing, right? We're not doing anything until we're upgraded to vB 3.5.1.I agree :kaoplain:

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

And... And when do we do that?

[escobert]

Every new moon.

[Shoeberto]

I think it has to be released first.

[Raistlin]

Nah, clout can wing it. <img src="http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/user/avatar/avatar92_13.gif">

[Yamaneko]

It's out already. We just have to wait for Samuraid or Cid to do it.

[Samuraid]

The upgrade? Unfortunately upgrading requires a vB license renewal, or something of the sort, which can only be accomplished by Cid. I'll run it by him again and see about getting the license.

[Yamaneko]

Oh yeah, that's what BoB told me. They try to get you any way they can.

[eestlinc]

why do we need to do the upgrade?

[Yamaneko]

So people could have more problems to make threads about, DUH!

[eestlinc]

there's not much wrong with the current version, except stupid user note issues, and Cid definitely should not waste money on a license renewal just to correct usernote issues.

[Yamaneko]

Apparently vB 3.5.2 just came out today. :p

[eestlinc]

software companies increment like that just so they can make more money and force you to keep installing updates.

[crashNUMBERS]

Hurry up and get it. I'm with Kishi on this one. That crap was cool crap...

[eestlinc]

or we could just fix the templates now and not worry about the upgrade for the time being.

[Leeza]

Or we could just not do anything at all and leave things as they are. :cat:

[crashNUMBERS]

Leeza brings up a good point...

[eestlinc]

Yams could design two templates, one with quote trees, and one without.

[Samuraid]

* checks vB changelog *

Yeah, it seems like we should upgrade for security reasons. Also, Jelsoft added some other useful features such as wildcard * IP banning and such.

[-N-]

You're the administrator, you fix it. So I can use it. Thanks in advance.

[Yamaneko]

The wildcard feature was there before, but you could only use it at the ends of IP addresses. Now you can use it anywhere in the address.

[eestlinc]

let's search on *1* IP!

[Samuraid]

It didn't yet. I did send the PM but haven't received a response yet. *follows up*
