  Two little things of an assistance required nature, totally not urgent:

  How do you make the blue block quote thingy?
  When I do a search, it does not take me to the highlighted extract, but to the beginning of the story, for some reason.:yahoo_shame_on_you:

  Thank you

  Blue quote thingy

  The blue quote thingy is made with bq. (blockquote) at the beginning of a new line.

  bq. will give that

  will give that

  If it extends to many paragraphs, then use

  bq.. my long quote
  continued

  p.  *back to normal paragraph again*

  my long quote

  continued

  back to normal paragraph again

  You can have more details in the Textile help file for other more complex designs…

  Searching

  I tried in both the search tab, and the “quicksearch”, and it seems OK.

  Only trick is in the search tab, when you look up, say… “Arona”… you have to click on the highlighted extract, and not on the title, if you want to be brought directly to the one of the many comments where Arona appears

  :yahoo_idea:Well, that all sounds rather technical to me, I think I need a fairy helper from fairyland to magically assist me with technical details, I think I’ll call my helper Tekka…no, Tikka…WAIT! I already have a fairy helper, her name is Tiki! So THAT’S who she is! The little cutie that appeared as if by magic in my mailbox is my tech support fairy godmother!:yahoo_tongue:

  Seems there is an issue when you take too long to write a comment, the system thinks you are not signed in any longer.
  Will see what I can do.

  In the meantime, if that happens, just copy your comment from the comment box, and then reload the page, and paste/post it back… Sorry for any inconvenience…

  [EDIT] I’ve changed something in the configuration of the cookies, perhaps that’ll help. Might be a good thing to clear your cookies in your browser too, just in case…

  Posting comment – sign in issue

  OK, if the same weird thing happens, telling you you’re not signed in (when you are already), and refuses to post the comment, just hit “add your comment” again, and it should work…

  Eric I wanted to know if when I edit a very old comment that isn’t on the last page, is it said somewhere so other readers could look for it?
  Or is it just me and the Administrator who know about it?

  Edits and linking to comments

  Yes, old edits are not highlighted in the system… If that’s a significant one, you might just want to post a comment somewhere to inform the others.
  You can directly point to a comment, using the ID of the comment
  Like in the last comment, when you talk about the 29th comment, once you’ve clicked on # 29 and “copy as textile”, that would give that: Malvina’s Dragon Rookery # 29 …
