NEW REPLY Button - RJNorton - 07-11-2012 03:50 PM
I am still trying to figure out all the ins and outs of MyBB forum software. This is just a suggestion to folks like me who have "older" eyes and are easily confused. I have begun pressing the NEW REPLY button (at top) rather than the REPLY button (even when replying to a previous post) because when you reply to a long post the entire thing gets repeated over and over. Every time there is a new reply the original post is printed again making the page much longer than it need be. Additionally if the original poster edits his/her post later, this is not carried over to the subsequent replies. So when I reply to a post I have been pressing the NEW REPLY button, and in my reply I am noting the person/post I am replying to.
If anyone else has any suggestions for making all the posts easier to follow, please let us all know. Possibly some of you have posted on other MyBB forums that are using this same software, and you have some hints we newbies don't know. Many thanks for any suggestions!
