Also, might it be possible to return the old copy-paste mode for placing links in threads to other threads on the site?
This method still works for links to other websites and used to be possible for links to other Paff threads. Since the server upgrade, this capability has been lost and I've had little luck using the link icon on the reply box.
I'm sure I'm not the only dunce struggling with linking to older threads here on Paff.
The problem originally appeared to be with the tagging option that was a part of this. You could "tag" each post with key words, and you had the option to choose from several different delimiters, of which one of the options was a comma.
Since the new forumsoft uses commas in each thread's URL, this breaks linking because the forum seems to parse it as a tag, not as a part of the URL.
I know the tag delimiter option disappeared awhile ago, but this issue appears to live on. Admittedly, its one of those stupid little quirks that seems like nothing, but does cause more than a few headaches. In the full editor, its easy to skip with the LINK editor option, but easy to forget because it appears to be an issue I only experience with PAFF, and not other forums.
That said, since the last major bug fix, I can't think of other outstanding issues.
Honestly, I never noticed a search issue, but searching has always been a bit wonky. Sorry!
