Don't like the new forum format/engine

I dislike that I can't quote other posts to show what I'm responding to.

    Unfortunately, that addon isn't yet available for the hosted forums through Vanilla. The reason we chose to go the hosted route instead of micromanaging our own is because we simply don't have the resources to deal with the onslaught of spam, etc. I hope that answers your question... we are definitely hopeful this addon will be available soon!

    I remember the difficulties you had with spammers. I completely understand and will adapt. I just dislike change that doesn't make improvements.

    While we regret the missing functionality, we are pushing Vanilla hard for it. Stay tuned!

    Interesting... I started participating here because of the change. The old forum sucked IMO. I never really figured out how that even functioned.

    Every time I used to visit, I see the same old postings on the page.. the page never every changed. even after I refreshed... new posts were being burred somewhere .so I pretty much gave up,

    I prefer the newer version

    Hey guys.  This forum engine is a new service and with concern to re-posting quoted text or uploading photo's these are plug-ins that we have to install.  Right now we are waiting to hear back from the creators of the forum on which plug-in to install.  Consider this growing pains.  We will get there soon!

    Thanks,

    Tony

    With Copy/Paste you can do it NOW :)

    Uploading pics is another issue :(

    I wouldn't anticipate GoFlight being interested in supporting uploaded images. Takes up a lot of space. I have the advantage of owning my own domain so I still have every image I ever posted in a forum. There are many image hosts around.  IMO, Being able to quote other posts is a luxury however being able to "post images" is more of a requirement.
