Minor issues / suggestions

Khannie

Two minor things that I'd appreciate the dev's eventually get around to:

1) The theme I'm using (black) has no "reply all" image. I just get that broken image thing. It's looking for an image at: http://b-static.net/vbulletin/images/custom/black/buttons/reply_all.gif which doesn't exist.
2) When I type a reply to a PM, then remember I want to actually "reply all", it removes my reply. The content in the text box should be submitted with the "reply all". I think this would be a very minor code change.

Thanks.

Might be worth asking in Site Development maybe?

Never noticed it before, thanks.

edit: Mods, any chance of a move?

Of course there is

I've bodged together an image for that. It's not particularly clean but I don't have the time to do a proper job. If anyone could do a better one that would be awesome (that's how "Reply to all" on the Cloud skin got done IIRC).

Maybe I'm not understanding you, but Reply All works as expected for me (regardless of skin).

Famous last words!

Looks good to me. Cheers.

Oh reply-all functionality works perfectly. It's an edge case so here's how to reproduce....

I get a PM of which I'm one of several recipients. I start replying to it in the quick reply box. Then I realise I'm not the only recipient (before submitting) and hit the "Reply all" button. At this point all the text I've previously entered goes bye bye and I'm back to the original PM being quoted. What I'd like is if the content of the quick reply text box was submitted with the reply-all and available on the reply all page.

Does that make sense?

Hehe. I'm a geek you know. Don't get all lazy on me with your over inflated estimates.

Yup. Makes sense now.

We're unlikely to fix that any time soon. It's more likely to get sorted in a larger redesign of the UI or as fall-out from reworking the PM system. Both of those options are likely in the near-to-medium term.

I was only half joking! You haven't seen the internals of vBulletin! Nothing is easy.

Nice one. Like I said it's not a biggy for me. I'm aware of it so I copy / paste before hitting reply-all these days.

I *well* believe it.
