Thanks Niamh, was just wondering as we've a game in forum games that it would affect, so it's good to have an idea... and, as it may take a bit of pre-setup for the 'game reveal', I was wondering: will the post setups for tables, quotes and formatting tags , be different on the new platform?
Never mind, I signed up to a Vanilla forum just to get some idea. Post formatting seems straight forward. No 'reply formatting tags' it seems, so attempting to format a pre-setup is futile. There does not appear to be a quote function (I dont mean the "reply with quote", which is there) nor a table feature, but it may be just how that particular forum was designed. Boards seems to use both quite a bit, in a variety of forums - swimming logs, games, etc. I hope it comes with both features, if not we shall just Macguyver a work around. I suspect polls are a thing of the past?0 -

Are these the ones?
There seems to be a few more when you click on them.
(I already miss our colourful and expressive ones
:eek: )
But we will adjust to whatever comes our way, as long as we still have Boards at the crux. :pac:0 -

Polls don't come as standard but there is a plugin which we have added. There is also a quote function, i.e. to display something as a quote (not quote another post) but in the standard Vanilla it's a bit hidden so you peobably won't have seen it when checking out other Vanilla forums 0 -

Yes they are more or less the standard ones you will find on your mobile phone. A lot more variety of expression than our 13 trusty smilies 0 -
