A Few Forum Features

[Laz]

There are a few things on the forum that I've noticed have changed over time despite there being no visible reason for it. I'm just asking why because some of them were really useful, and some of these would be useful things to have.

1.) Default Forum Avatar:

The default forum avatar has returned to the default MyBB one rather than the custom black one that was made for these forums. I remember pointing this out to St. Denis a really long while ago (February), but it seems to have remained the same. Link to image.
Solved by @Alex.

2.) The ability to quick quote:

A long while ago we had the ability to highlight segments of text from someone's post and an option would appear that allowed you to quote just that bit of text. This made things very handy for when you are picking apart big walls of text or addressing individual points. Out of all of the features, I can think of, this is the one I'd most like to see return.

3.) Forum/Game Stats

(This one I think is API related) - It would be really nice if we could once again see what system was the most popular, what ship was most used, things like that. Maybe which ship of each class is most used? Would be pretty cool.

4.) Posting Signature After Preview

When previewing a new post (not thread) your there is no checkbox for "Signature: include your signature. (registered users only)" like you have on your thread. This means that you won't post with your signature unless you edit your post immediately after posting; this is why there are so many posts in the " Do you like the signature above me? " thread. I think this is a relatively easy fix as well.

5.) Can we change the CSS for shoutbox text from #555 to #a0a0a0? It is a lot easier to read. Also, could we remove the solid border around avatars in the shoutbox? That last one is more personal preference.

6.) The default avatar of the shoutbox is "images/default_avatar.png" when it should be "images/default_avatar_disco.png". A quick change in inspect element fixed this, so it should just be a quick template adjustment.

Will add more as I remember. Had about 8 when I started writing, funny how memory works.
