...has been done. We jumped 2 version numbers at once, so the changes were fairly extensive.

Please let me know if any bugs are encountered/discovered etc.

Thanks

Oooh did we get new features? :)

Nope, just improved security and supposed better functionality. :huh

I haven't seen any hacks lately that added features that were worth a squat. :p

P.S I refuse to upgrade us to vB version 3 as of right now, because it would break just about all the hacks we already have and its additional features are mainly just bloatware-ish.

Oh! Ogies deserves a lap dance! :D

Except it'll have to be from Dale as she'd probably kill me and my countless characters if I even attempted said lap dance. ^_^;

For those reading, not posting, and lost: It only shows up in your own posts, unless you are an Admin or SWFans Mod.

And so that the Mods/Admins and everyone knows for certian. The QuickEdit feature will still add the "Edited By"-line if any post is edited 5 minutes after its original posting. It does not provide anon editing capabilities. I also added the "Reason for Edit" form to it, so that it functions as close as possible to loading the full fledged edit page.

Another note about something I just discovered. The QuickEdit feature does not work properly in the first post in a thread like this one; within a forum and topic where topic tags are required.

I will see what I can do about modifying it to function seemlessly with topic tags.

EDIT: If anyone wants to see a preview of the "QuickQuote" feature, switch to the "T-Phantom" style as I have added it to that one style here for now.

You can easily change to the style and see the feature by clicking the "T-Phantom" style title above my avatar.

=P Yeah, but how many hacks has your staff written themselves? :p

I actually modified the QuickEdit hack a bit to work with other hacks I have here too.

Besides, most of my really cool hacks are for admins and mods, so the general public missess the best ones, while the staff here has the good life.

There are several I wrote and use here that I didn't release at vB.org.

Oh, I see how it is. You all hog all the good stuff and act like royalty, while throwing the bones of the pessants to beat themselves silly over.

Bah, this is just some aquatic farcical hiarchy with perks. *shakes fist* I'll get ye. :p


Oh, and Ask Sums about all our hacks, I haven't a clue about the coding.

Edit: And besides, those forums are still vB version 2.2.9 and chock full of security holes. Who's living in the Dark ages now?
