I'm new here. Let me start off by saying that I am in awe of this community and what you guys have done with this site. It is truly spectacular and has a ton of features. It is visually appealing and comfortable to view, it contains a massive amount of information that can't easily be found elsewhere, it has some of the friendliest and coolest people to be found on the internet, not to mention its a fantastic place to trade, buy, sell and just discuss all things Nintendo. All of you admins, mods and contributors really have done a tremendous job and deserve some recognition. I applaud you! 

A few very small suggestions of low priority:

1) Would it be possible when browsing a forum to view threads that you have not viewed OR have new posts since you last viewed the thread in Bold, and have threads that you have viewed since the last post in regular font? I have seen this feature in other forums and it makes it easy to scan down the list of threads to see what is new or what thread has new comments since you last browsed that particular forum. This way you don't have to try to "remember" and end up opening up a lot of threads with no new updates.

2) Is it possible to add Emoticon options to the Quick Reply feature?

3) Is it possible to quote multiple users who have posted in a thread with a single reply post? (adding your comments under each quote as necessary) If not, is this something that could be added?

Thanks for your time and all you've done,

Gavin

I totally agree with what you said about this community! I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but they may be useful.

1) Personally, I just use the "Latest Topics" and "Latest Posts" tabs. If there is a particular thread I want to keep track of, I subscribe or bookmark it.
2) If you know the shortcuts for the emoticons, it isn't a problem.
3) If you know how to copy/paste and use the quotation tags it isn't a problem.

Hi Brad, thanks for your help.

1) How do I find the shortcuts for the emoticons?

2) I know how to copy and past but how do I use quotation tags?

Also, I have started bookmarking threads and this helps, but I still think my #1 point would be a nice addition. =-)

Thanks for your comments!

Shortcuts = typing them in like a colon, then right-parentheses inline produces this

If you want to quote multiple users, I usually just hit quote on one, then cut and paste it into another quote reply. I never really work with quote tags I just edit them in-line. But if you want to mess with tags, you can look in the text editor bar when you're replying and hit the <> symbol in the top-right and do what you wish in HTML.

If you hit reply, or New topic. If you click on the emoticon, then hover your mouse over the corresponding icon you want and it shows the code for it at the bottom.
