    Hey everybody! Sorry about that sudden downtime. I had some time tonight and figured I'd use to update us to the latest version of XenForo.

    This isn't as exciting an update as previous ones, most of the new features are admin functions, performance enhancements, and bug fixes. The things you guys will notice are...

    Multi-Quote
    This is a feature I know we've all missed from vBulletin! You should now see a + Quote button next to the standard Reply button on posts. Since this is a system better shown than explained, I urge you all to check out this video that previews the feature. Skip to around 3:10 for multi-quote.


    But it's a really intuitive system that I'm sure you'll pick up on yourselves. ;)

    Spoilers
    Previously we've used third-party add-ons for our Spoiler BB Code. Now Spoilers are part of the core software, so they look a little bit different. All of your previous spoilers should be fine, though! You can also access the spoiler code from the editor toolbar now, to the left of the save/delete draft button.


    I'm reopening the board now but do note that I'll be updating a few of our add-ons over the next hour or so. If you have any questions or run into any problems, let us know!

    Plums previously disabled local time from showing in the message user info box due to it being under the pins. Could we re-disable that or, alternatively, figure out a way to move it above pins? :)

    Thanks for updating, also, Misty! :D

    Edit: It should also be noted that we currently can no longer search for threads we've started in certain forums, such as Site Assistance, and that when you submit a post, your last activity is updated.

    Still kinda dissappointed about the lack of rp count, but the multi quote and spoiler things seem really useful! Seems like a good update overall.

    I have to say, I'm really loving the new spoiler system. Adding it to the toolbar was a nice touch!

    Well, if the update reset it... But eh. Sorry.

    How about this? :) Updating seems to have brought back the avatar dimension restrictions.

    With the new spoiler update, will we be able to do spoilers within spoilers again? Or is that still not functioning. // Goes to test below //

    testing testing.
    testing testing.

    Edit: Oh cool, it does work.

    I do love the multi-quote thing. I've missed being able to talk to more than one person at once.

    I panicked for a second because I couldn't find the "remove formatting" button, but then I found it on the other side of the reply box. Anyhoo, great additions! Everything is so nice and neat~

    ...N-not that it wasn't before...

    Such great update!
    Multiquote is always pleased, I'll test the new spoiler tag in the future.

    Pretty nifty updates, probably won't be using the +Quote option for a while, but nonetheless, liking the new Spoiler tag.~

    Unsure if it's related, but I notice I can't access the "Who's replied" add-on

    Looks like the add-on was disabled.
