New Posts feature shallow
I like to scan New Posts - it only seems to go back about 150-60 posts since the maintenance. It used to go to 15 or 20 pages. I have my posts set at 40 per page.

Was my filtering proxy. I didn't like something about the menu html (maybe the text 'popup'?), but I made a manual exception and it is fine now.
Thanks Tim.

Multiple Quote Vs "Quote in Quote" Quote Features
For this functionality you click on all of the posts you want to quote in a thread (the button should change to a red color when you click it) and then click on of the reply buttons. You should then see several quotes in the text area.

I was about to post my question about this new feature then I read the posts from Tim and Canarsie. Both posts make it clear what the new feature is about and how to use it. This feature is definitely a wonderful add-on. However, I was expected something different.
Originally, I thought the new feature was a "quote in quote" quoting function, i.e. to double quote in one post. Not sure I made it clear. Here's the example. For this funny thread, I was trying to reply to twenex's post last night, hoping to include BJ's reply in my post (hence the ''quote-in-quote quote" by using the new feature for the 1st time. Of course, now I realize it didn't work as I had expected since it's not supposed to work like that.
So this changes my line of inquiry. Is there a way to do the quote-in-quote quoting in our post? I mean before the update, when we hit reply, we would only be able to quote the very response from the very poster that we were responding to. The 1st quoted response woould be completely excluded (i.e. BJ's reply in above example).
Hope I haven't lose anyone by far. Sorry if I make it sound too complicated when there's probably a very simple solution to perform "quote-in-quote" quote (Do we call it "double quote" or what?
).

Do you mean something like this, lin821?

If so, there is no way to do this automatically of which I am aware in the vBulletin bulletin board software, but one has always had the ability to do this manually.
For details, please click on the Quote button as if you were going to respond to what I have posted here, and you will see the formatting for yourself. It is rather easy to do.
Here are three more variations:

So - last 2 days can't log onto chat (that might be a good thing by the way; get work done LOL). But I type in handle/password, it lights up connect & then goes dead in the water. Everything else works on FT except for that & it's just last night & this, so don't really think it's due to the new enhanced FT? BTW - I'm not a power user like everyone else, but I've noticed some nice small enhancements w/ the latest version that make FT quite nice. Cheers.
PS - It's not just me!!!!! Some FTers and I are on each other's AIM list & I IM'd a couple of them & said I was dead in the water for last 2 days & they said the same thing was happening to them (did happen to them). BTW - after doing the handle/password it says connect but at lower part of screen says Done.

Had the PM 'freeze' situation happen again. Just got a PM, read the message, closed the box & clicked to go to another forum - and freeze. Had to reboot my computer.
PS - I can access Omni.

An observation:
Having never actually used the link button (I just type the code in and paste the URL), I just started playing with the button. The section between the tags is highlighted when the link appears in the text boxes, so you just need to start typing to change the text. In other words, in this:
[ URL="http://www.flyertalk.com"]http:// www. flyertalk. com[/URL ]
The part in green was highlighted, so all I needed to do was start typing to change it. Is that not similar to the "old functionality" you are referring to, just not happening in a separate box?
(I needed to add spaces to get the software to not automatically link it...)

I am seeing periodic huge delays for a page to load (I am using Firefox). It doesn't seem to matter which forum I am in or what time of day it is.
A minority of these delays are due to long, long waits for tribalfusion to respond, which I guess is the price I pay for accessing FT for free. But the majority clearly are delays in FT itself. Sometimes the delay lasts for minutes.
