A Few Forum Features

[Laz]

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.

Wouldn't be surprised if an upgrade had killed some customisation we made. Did we just overwrite images/default_avatar.png ? If so I think we can just upload the proper one to the web server, get a forum admin to point the useravatar setting at it, and fix the shoutbox code not to hardcode the default URL.

From what I know, you should need to replace the default image @ root/images/default_avatar.png

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.

I don't know what code provided this.

I'd look inside root/inc/plugins to see if anything resembles a fast/quick quote utility, that should tell us if it's custom coded or a downloaded plugin. You can also check the root/jscripts folder which might contain similar hints to that.
