wtf is that all about?
You copied the forum member’s username into the quote.
And why has my question been ignored. It’d be nice to know really.
What question was that?
Please tell me we’ll be getting a “last poster on thread” displayed soon!
I cannot find one single other forum on the web which doesn’t have this feature. It’s bloody bonkers!
I guess it's that one though quoting is now a bit ambiguous now you can't (easily) include who posted.

Blimey its almost like a quote button would be useful.

About the functionality. Last poster info.

That one?
No idea is all I can say on that I’m afraid.

FTFY

We shall await Mark's next appearance, Easter Monday isn't it?
Thanks for your feedback Mike.
Why is the posted x hours ago thing an hour out? Have you forgotten to change the clocks?
The clock is high up on the wall, no one can find the step ladder.

Yeah, that's why I asked the question just after Mark had posted. Thought maybe he would drop in with some useful info.
Forum is shite without it, so it's a reasonable question to ask really. And a reasonable expectation for him to have an answer.
Ho hum.
But then I selected the whole post and clicked the Clear formatting button!
Or how's this for an idea: have a quote button that works with the formatting of the forum from which text is most likely to be quoted, i.e. this one.

Nah, once Mark's finished re-inventing Google search he's going to move on to reinventing time.
Nice to see STW serving up Flirty Ladies in your Area adverts, it's all going a bit Daily Star.

So chuffed as i am that the pop ups and redirects have gone, does everyone with a ‘p’ get this many ads?
We do now - thanks!
it irritates me that you cannot any longer quote with the poster included. Even manually typing it all in does not work
[quote="scroteroutes"] I'm sparticus
edit - it does! I am sure it didn't last time I tried - note the above is totally made up
Ok.
While you may have a reasonable expectation for a response from Mark just remember he has a life too. Like others his life is his own and at times life gets in the way of other things. So if you expecting an answer off Mark just now it’s not going to happen.

If you're using Chrome on desktop, the extension does that (sorry, still not officially published though I'll give a link again if anybody is interested, but trying not to spam too much). The formatting still messes up sometimes, though given it looks fine in the supposedly WYSIWYG box when you're typing that's still a problem with the forum rather than the extension, so I CBA investigating further.
edit: you're using the extension TJ, does the "quote" link at the top of the post not work? Maybe I didn't release the latest version I'm using? I suspect I'm not going to do much more with it - I did have plans, but it works about as well as can be expected now and I have a lot of real work on, so should try and do an official release.

My expectations are nowhere near that high! 😆
Hence "Thought maybe"

How you do that in different font TJ?

I was unaware it was even a possibility.
No idea. I typed in ( minus the spaces)
[ quote = " scroteroutes " ] I'm sparticus [ / quote ]
My 'p' has lapsed and i can't be bothered to renew.. I'm sure the number of ads has increased massively in the year i was a 'p'
On another note, is it just me or have the timings on posts all gone weird? I clicked on a theread that said '11 minutes ago' on the main page, but the last reploy was from an hour ago on the actual thread.
Also, is the 'threads replied to' section gone for good? the psots created doesnt link to the threads...
aracer - no - I stopped using your extension
The whole “pay me to stop spamming you with horribly invasive and annoying ads” forum business model is well established in forum land.
Jimjam – I use another forum that does not have all these intrusive ads. Its off the shelf software and its enthusiast run tho not commercial
I think, from the second half of his post, he was joking. If not then I agree, I use a number of other forums and have never seen anything even approaching that level of illegibility!
Edit: WTF can you not even now do two separate quotes without it assuming it's one?! Only by pressing enter about 5 times it seems.

I think it's been commented on already and probably related to something which happened yesterday - I'm finding it kind of amusing that amongst everything else one bit of the software is on GMT and the other is on BST. Though I'm sure that like everything else, that was exactly what Mark was expecting.

By jove, an [i]improvement[/i]! 😆
Funny how mine's come out different though. (nuts)

It's an existentialist feature. We get to experience the duality of time through being both in the present and in the past.
...or something.
So the first post in this thread was 2 months ago. So its taken that long to mess with the fonts a bit, make it faster (occasionally) and errrr.... that's it.
Will this forum be here as any more than a ghost forum by Christmas?

How long would it actually take to make a response, <30 minutes IME. So how much of his life is it really taking up?
Surely stakeholder / customer etc. engagement is important, and if it isn't then don't expect to stay loyal to your business.

I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into Drac's comment, but it may be there are things in his life right now meaning he doesn't feel like even spending 30 minutes on this. Something to bear in mind...
(I'm usually the last person to defend Mark, but there is the STW forum and then there is real life and whilst the lines are blurred for many of us who's real lives have been enhanced by interactions which started on the forum, it's sometimes worth remembering the difference between the two)
bottom of the list but why do you get asked to subscribe to ST when your already a subscriber?

Perhaps you should take a little longer to think before responding. The time it takes is not always the issue.
Just spat mine out, perchy
Mark’s been on holiday.
He has however been back for long enough to not really be an excuse.
That’s not the reason.
Someone mentioned “real life” - a holiday kinda fits that description and that was straight from his office that he’d been away and was back so not “heresay”.
It’s not a Sunday is it?
iDave went on holiday too.
Just saying...
This thread is showing as 79 pages on the overview page for me but has 80 (at the moment)
That’s not the reason.
I don't think that alluding to a problem is helpful or appropriate.

Usual MO, tho.
Allude to something without spelling it out, when people press for clarification you can then call them a monster for not being more sympathetic to the fact something really bad has happened. Even tho they had no way of knowing.

Meaning a double click to get to the last post
MOAR page impressions FTW!
You know, if I were a member of a club where I hated the club, hated the assistants, hated the staff, hated the owners, and yet remained a member, I’d start to question my own sanity.
