Board software - Q&A for the new stuff

Hi -jk.. your post implies that the "Jump to new" button in the mobile skin may not have been implemented yet. But as I replied, it is there for me in mobile so is probably implemented already. And, ever since then, I've gone through a bunch of threads, and I've been taken to the first "New" post every time. Maybe implementing that "Jump to new" button fixed the issue?

Yes, me too!
Bad news: now all of you know that I am a dog, contrary to that great cartoon many years ago.
Desktop and a 2/1 hybrid; same issue with both. The "Jump to New" button does not work for me, but I wonder why this extra step/button is needed?
With the old forum software, and on the several other forums I frequent, I am always taken to my last read/unread post position. It's automatic, without having to hit a button.
I'm on a desktop using the Chrome browser. For me, both clicking on a bolded thread title and clicking on the "Jump to new" button works as expected.
Just clicked on the link for the Duke Football 2024 thread. Took me to an already viewed message (Jason's message about a 2025 commitment) rather than Chris Hoke's message about the graduate transfers. I have had other occasions when the click took me a few messages back from the new ones.
Could the presence of an imbedded picture (and rather large one at that) influence things, or is it just random? (I know, that's what you're trying to figure out!)

Testing my pic. It seems to be cutting off the bottom but doesn't look that way in my profile when I edit it.

No one can spork you like you can spork yourself, my dad always said.

To multi-quote on a desktop computer:
Click on the "+Quote" button to the lower right for all the messages you'd like to multi-quote. Scroll down to the compose section. You will now see a button that says "Insert quotes...". When you click, in the resulting dialogue, you'll see the list of quotes to insert. Usually, you can just hit the "Quote messages" button from there, but if you've over-clicked, you can remove quotes from the list first, if needed. The selected quotes will appear in the compose box, and you can further edit the quotes themselves and insert your own commentary before posting, as usual.
I have not tested on a phone, but would guess the process is similar.

I use an extension in my browser for dark mode.

I didn't know this was a thing, just added it. This is amazing. Thank you!

If you mean the color wheel (see the palette icon in the reply toolbar), I have similar problems accenting bolded text with darker colors that just aren't there. The workaround is the HEX Color field, where you can enter a different color if you know the 6-character HEX code (which is easily searchable). Here are a few:
Medium Blue 0000CD
Navy 000080
Saddle Brown 8B4513
Dark Olive 556B2F
Dark Green 006400
Maroon 800000
It would be nice if DBR could edit the default color wheel, or if we were individually allowed to add colors to it.
For the record, I think that the default link color (see the word "searchable" above) is more of a Kentucky royal blue, which isn't as offensive as the Carolina blue nonsense.
...... but also a little of

No, it's shorter. Unless it's changed recently, you have 5 minutes instead of 15. It's caused me some problems.

Same here. I'd love it if that setting could be lengthened to 30 minutes, rather than 5. 15 is close to a minimum, IMO.

If you're just quoting a single message, the "Reply" button is way easier to use. "Quote" is for including multiple quotes in a single reply, as Phredd described.
