Hello,

I have quite a few questions, apologies if this is the wrong board, I would like to ask in regards to the new board I just created.

*Is there a way to allow blockquoting inside of blockquoting?
*Is there a code or plugin available that takes PMs and groups them, much like a thread inside your PM system so that you do not need to quote your previous messages?
*A code that removes the 'Threads' and 'Post' counts from the forum's itself? or moves the name of the thread beneith them? (I have seen a board that did this).
*Is there a plugin/code that allows a specific board to have a forum (like application) when posting new thread?

I think that's it for now haha. I am still setting things up so if I have more I will be sure to post them as well.
1. Think that's enabled by default. You're talking about:

Quote:Quote!
Quote:Quote2!
I assume.

2. Don't think so. Most people just have private sections.

3. Do not understand what you are saying.

4. Probably, a lot of people just make forms for people to copy and paste.
3. You need to edit following templates for that:
forumbit_depth1_cat
forumbit_depth2_forum

Those are simple HTML table declarations and easy enough to identify and modify according to need.

Yes but not for quoting, blockquoting is entirely different then quotes lol. Blockquoting is like making a paragraph indented to stand out, like a subparagraph inside a larger one, but I am wanting to do this many times so the same idea as the quote within a quote you posted.

I still want to hear if anyone else has an idea about the PM system and the form code question. Its fine if there isn't one.. I just wasn't sure as most sites (example Proboards IPB are going that way now a days so wasn't sure if MyBB was the same).

@effone
I will pass this along to my coder to see if she can make sense of that to remove the categories <:

He's not a coder if he cannot figure out how to move elements around in templates Undecided. But anyone who wants group PM, they just say use the forum. It's a better function anyways.

Well the reason I am looking for something for private messages is I don't want 50 million private boards on my site for people. This is so that I can see exactly how my conversation has gone from beginning to end without having to look through all the back and forth messages. On a Role Play site I can't just use the forums for private chatting or I would need (as I said) 50 million boards.

EDIT: Also my coder, who is female not male, isn't a pro coder. They dabble in it. I personally can't make heads or tails and I know she has had times where she hasn't been able to either. Either way she did, so that is null now.
