Welcome to the newly upgraded forums!

Anyway, it may be a pain, but it's really not that hard to get used to - just press SHIFT when you click the link, or right-click it and choose Open in New Window/Tab. Personally, I've been doing the latter pretty much forever, anyway.

Sorry dude, its a big pain in the ass when you are using a tablet because your typing has packed up again... ergo - no shift. This has taken me 10 minutes to hand write this and translate.

Would welcome the option to have new windows any day.

Or try the middle mouse button (when using a browser of the newest generation).

And if one doesn't have this fabled middle mouse button?

[DaleStan]

Simultaneously clicking with left and right sometimes does the trick, and <ctrl>-click or <shift>-click, depending on desired result, should also work.

Alternatively, I have known of at least five people in the past that have not realised the mousewheel is a button.

Make that six, I now know

[marcf]

One little thingy: there are no contact buttons for users in their posts, you must go to profile to contact them. Bug or intended?

The mousewheel tends to scroll whenever you press it. Using the mousewheel as button is kinda annoying. But indeed, the mousewheel is a button.

If you have a crappy mouse (like mine), yes. I had to remap the button to the side one. Otherwise it is a pleasant feature.

[Saibot]

So it's finally here then
Will take some getting used to I think, but at least it's here after all this time.

So, how do you inline your or other people's attachments?

[Moriarty]

Bit of a problem when you are used to simply left-clicking... I dunno what'd take to add the code in... what we need is a load of geeks to offer solutions...

What do you do on other websites? I open most windows using the middle mouse (or keyboard shortcuts) by default (thus getting a new tab).

It's the only way to browse.

And if one doesn't have this fabled middle mouse button?

You read one of the several posts (mine included) that tells you which keyboard shortcut to use.

I'd imagine intended. How often do you contact someone? Not very. So from a design perspective there's no reason for them to be there.

Never happens for me and I've gone through countless (cheap) mice. You need to refine your clicking skills.


Edit: Owen:
The "edit signature" works fine in Firefox (2. something) and Opera 8.51. It's just this Opera (9.10) that's broken.

[WWTBAM]

There is a button when you post to inline attachments.

sorry Raichase and the rest of the peoples.

[Raichase]

There is a button when you post

Please use quote tags to show who you're replying to - as a free standing post, that doesn't make any sense .

What button?

[WWTBAM]

Can someone tell me what these dots on some topic icons mean?

dot.PNG

(Yay for inline attachments, BTW )

The FAQ page doesn't mention them, they aren't explained in the legend at the bottom, and I couldn't find any pattern in them myself, either.

[edit] Oh, never mind, I've just found the pattern. The dots indicate that I'm watching the topic. Silly me It's useful that you can see a list of them in UCP, too.

when qouting an inline immage it is already done and this bbcode

dot.PNG

is it.

I think the button appears when you hit add file then there is an inline button that appears. I can not get an immage for you right now White Rabbit.

I presume that's intended.

So, how do you inline your or other people's attachments?

You can't inline other people's attachments (well, you could link to them with [img], but phpBB may well reject that because it links to a .php file). Use the little drop-down that appears in the "Upload Attachment" to inline your own, though - it shows up as something like [attachment=0], if I remember correctly.

Just done it, seems to work fine.

Ah, there it is. Thanks.

But how do we find the filename? As shown by http://www.tt-forums.net/files/valley_199.png, using filenames still works, only we can't see them anymore when downloading attachments. Using the current .php extension would not work on many forums, for instance.

Ooh, it's definately a lot more modern looking. It'll take some getting used to though!
