Two things I noticed

1) The forum is called 'Evolution Versus Creation', hence the url , and the little EvC title off to the top right of the website. But, the logo has it the opposite way around: Creation Versus Evolution; CvE instead of EvC. No biggie, but I thought I might point out how the logo seems to be reversed.2) Unless I am missing something, each thread has a reply button, but no quote button. In all the forums I am used to, you can just click 'quote', and it will grab that thread you are replying too with the posters username and format it into a nice little quote box for you. Considering the amount of quoting that goes on here, I was surprised to see this feature missing.Just my 2 cents and a button =P

I noticed the CvE thing, it bugged me at first, but now I think of it as a quirk with personality. Been here too long I guess.As to the quote thing, the problem with those is that they end up quoting the entire post. Given the lengthy back and forwards that the forum encourages, and the lengthy nature of the posts, it would get massively unreadable (indeed, many posts suffer from this as it is without an extra handicap).The modus operandi of this forum it seems is for small portions to be quoted and specifically addressed, which the normal forum quote/reply buttons don't do. Fortunately quoting is very easy (I often use the qs tag accidentally at other places it has become almost second nature )

Good point, and fair enough. I must say, it is a pet peeve of mine when the first reply in the thread quotes 12 pages of text from the OP. I know you were replying to the first post, YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON TO REPLY!*throws paper cup across room*=|[edit - Have I made a post yet without an edit for typos?]This message has been edited by boolean, 03-22-2006 08:30 AM

The history of the site's logo begins at Message 14. About a month later I noticed the order was wrong, but by then TrueCreation had moved on to other things.AbE: What is bouncing away from Calvin?This message has been edited by Admin, 03-22-2006 08:45 AM

His brain =P

hahahaI miss that strip.

I'm quite sure that the reversal was unintentional, and positive that this is simply conjecture,BUT:Percy, who created this site is primarily an Evolutionist.TrueCreation, who created the logo and is a wonder when it comes to creating graphics, was at that time very strongly Creationist.Whether the issue is Evolution beiing attacked by the forces of Creationism, or the Purity of Biblical Creation being attacked by secular humanistic Evilution is absolutely a function of the individual point of view.I love the dichotomy and would fight to keep the symbology, even if unintentional.

Aslan is not a Tame Lion

The forum once did have and use a "reply quote" button. It is probably still available as an option, but its use was discontinued because it was leading to big messes. Reply Quote function button to be disabledAdminnemooseus

Quotes can infinitely nest, and it can get quite complicated. As I remember when Reply w/Quote was enabled, too many members would just leave in the whole quoted portion, and messages would become very long and very messy. Other members would try to trim the quoted portion down or divide it into sections, but they would make mistakes. It was the long and messy messages and the time me and Moose had to spend trying to correct screwed up messages that finally killed Reply w/Quote. The difficulty people had with it puzzles me since when you preview a post the errors are highlighted in red, but too few members seemed to bother trying to get it right.Anyway, now that the Reply w/Quote feature is disabled I find I hardly ever have to edit a post to fix the dBCodes, and I'm very happy about that. I wish we could have Reply w/Quote back - maybe users in general are more sophisiticated now. We might consider giving it a try.
