ZetaBoards Upgrade

All ZetaBoards servers have been upgraded. This upgrade includes 14 new/improved features as well as 45 bug fixes.

Highlights are in green.

New Features as of September 18th, 2011:

Added close button on preview box on the posting screen
Multiquote implemented
- To use multiquote, press the checkboxes next to the quote button on posts
- Multiquote works across topic pages
- An image was not used to preserve backwards-compatibility with old themes; if you wish to have an image for multiquote, you can use this code
Moderator checkboxes now carry across topic and forum pages
- Checkboxes last ten minutes per page
- The ten minute expiration date is refreshed every time you load a new page in that topic/forum
- Checkboxes expire instantly if you leave the topic or forum
- Moderator actions do work on posts/topics that were selected on other pages
Added option for groups to ignore post merge
- The option appears on the full reply screen in the Post Options box
- The option will only appear if the post would be merged if left checked
The [class] BBCode now works on the board
- The CSS class should begin with bbcode-
- Example: [class=test]Some text[/class] will be replaced with <span class='bbcode-test'>Some text</span>
Topics may now be moved in bulk via the forum page
Added option to the member name search in the Admin CP; the user may now search names on a 'Starts With' or 'Contains' basis, like the members page on the board
- Searches made with 'Starts With' are usually much faster and much more accurate than the 'Contains'
If both email verification and admin verification are enabled, the message in the authorization list in the Admin CP will display whether or not they have verified their email
Added an option (on a per-forum basis, editable in the forum settings) to show the first post of a topic on every page
Added [staff] BBCode; text contained therein is visible only to global moderators and administrators
Added [note] BBCode, which auto-generates footnotes similar to Wikipedia
- Example: "This is some[note]ambiguous word[/note] text[note]not yet verified independently[/note]"
Added a field to optionally PM the topic creator when moving a topic
Added a table BBCode editor on the full-reply screen
- To edit an already existing table, select it in the text area and click the button to load it into the editor
- If you accidentally edit the wrong table, pressing the close button on the editor will place it back into the text area in its proper spot
