Would it be too difficult to have a scroll window... erm thing under the reply box, when replying to a thread, showing the contents of the thread you are replying to, like on the FH reply screen? Just wondering ;)

It's possible yes, obviously ;)
I've been wanting to add it for some time along with other forum features, but you know how things go :P

I've been working on website stuff a lot though lately, to get an actual WoW guild site and administration running. Maybe somewhere along the way I can squeeze it in ;)

Right now there seem to be problems creating new accounts, both through the "create guest account" link and the tiwaz admin page. That's kinda high priority atm and I hope to fix that tomorrow morning.

If anyone feels an urgent need to create an account before then, slap me in #tiwaz (QuakeNet), MSN (thorarin@tiwaz.org) or ICQ (535343)

Guest account creation has been fixed.

Once the website is a little more functional, your guest accounts will be upgraded to member status, so you will be able to access extra features.

Tbh i don´t feel for that really. I never had to check for the content below the reply box, and its just more html your browser needs to load. Bad idea imo.

When I want to quote, I open the link in a new window so I can alt-tab back and forth. But yush! Gifv FH like quoting ;)

Do you browse the interweb with telnet? o.0
Browsers are written to display html, so a few lines more or less should not make a difference :P

Well, theoretically it slows down the thing a bit yes. But FH and such implement this using an embedded frame inside the page. That means that the page with the reply window is already loaded and usable before it even starts downloading the other posts for display. Therefore no speed difference would be noticeable.

When I want to quote multiple posts I end up opening a new browser tab, it works fine, but I can imagine people would rather not do it.

Anyway, when I get around to implementing it, I'll be sure to have some way to disable it :P

I've implemented a gimpy topic review thingy. It seems to work ok :)

There's no way to disable it yet, and I'm still thinking about whether or not to make it an inline frame..
