I was just about to report this same issue.

Quoting a message with a quote block no longer nests the previous quote block in the new one. I have seen this behavior on other forums and I find it intensely annoying, as it makes conversation threads hard to maintain. At the very least, quote-nesting should be an option.

It's on purpose. Sometimes it will be nice, and sometimes it will not. Some sort of option would be nice.

What's on purpose?

~HS2010, wondering if he'll get his minor point across.

If you scroll up, you'll see what your post (and this one ) is in response to.

I'm lazy, remember?

An what if it's from the last page?

...I think it's alright, as someone could always click on the "arrow" if the post is on the previous page (continually until he gets to the original post) but like dok said, I think it should be an option.

The 'you have posted in this thread (but there are no new posts)' icon appears to have switched to what I assume is the default vBulletin option (an orange or blue envelope), at least for me.

EDIT: the 'Forum contains no new posts' icon has changed as well

I notice too that there's just a thin line to separate a post from a sig. Makes it look like a a giant post. That's something I'll have to get used to.

What if the response is only in response to one part of the post, which was cut out of a much larger post?

Some of us (I'm an extreme example but not the only one) manage our nested quotes to try to maximize the readability of a long conversation thread. The new settings make that harder. That's bad.

I don't mind too much if this is the default "quote" setting, although I'll find that annoying as I'm sure people responding to me will often lose the previous context and I'll have to choose between restoring that context or letting it die. But as long as there's an option to get the whole quote history I'll be satisfied.

The location of the Rep button has changed (to below the user's avatar). I like that it doesn't take you to a new screen.

Also, when you read a PM, you can type a reply without having to click "reply". Plus the original PM is already there in quote boxes for you. Little things like that are great.

I added your issues, starting at #9 in the OP. Rather than multi-quote and reply, I'll just copy them here. Please have a look and please respond if appropriate (not necessary for most of them).

• [BUG] In narrow themes, badges don't wrap. FIXED.
• [BUG] Poor wrapping of user info in narrow themes. FIXED.
• [BUG] Wide themes are no longer wide. FIXED. The previous two fixes broke this temporarily.
• [REQUEST]Add ability to turn off @ notifications I can turn this on/off globally, not per user. Thoughts on whether this should be on by default? A paid option exists (~$50) that lets each user turn this on/off.
• [BUG] Upper content area of profile page hard to read. Will fix. Affects non fast-loading themes.
• [BUG] Missing images in top-right of two boxes on profile page. FIXED. Was a bug in the jungle theme.
• [BUG] Profile page Group Membership needs better formatting for those with a lot of memberships Will fix.
• [BUG] Details of mentions in private forums truncated if you don't have access to the forum. Can't change this. The author of the mentions system indicates how it displays is intended behavior.
• [BUG] Unexpected space after username in a mention. Can't change this.
• [BUG] Would like nested quotes to return. I can put a hack in to re-enable this. I think I'll put a poll up to see what is preferred behavior. (I may need to do that for a few things on this list).
• [BUG] The 'you have posted in this thread (but there are no new posts)' and 'Forum contains no new posts' icons are not using a 'scapey theme. I'm not see this. Can anyone confirm this? Screenshot?
• [BUG] The signature separator line seems kinda insubstantial. Will fix.

Thanks for the reports.

I'm seeing it. Not sure why it didn't show up in the screenshot, that's weird.

Thanks for the reports.

The icons next to the threads look the same as they did before the update. (Still colored hexes) I am seeing no difference.
