For now, let me refer you to : https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/manual/

I don't know half the answers myself yet.

Do you have a bar across the top of the forum above the logo saying Mod?

Somehow I managed to quote the above but I've no idea how I did so. Can't see a quote button?
Will have a look at the link later thanks.
I do have a Moderators drop down but it only has two items and doesn't fulfil the purpose of the old Mods CP.
As a test I'm going to report this post to see if I get a notification

you quote automatically when you press the "reply" button.

I don't; apparently I've been made redundant.

Jon, how about this???

If you can get wider support from other members, I will install it.

If you click Reply to any particular post, it will quote that post automatically.

Jon
I reported the post but no notifications appeared.
We need the old moderators forum area back again in order to view reported posts and discuss issues.

Thanks Jon/Adam re quotes. Obvious with hindsight! Next I need to work out how to quote part of a post without quoting all and deleting unwanted parts

 

[Jon]

Is anyone aware that if you hover over the Like button, you actually get a choice of emoticons?

@Jon12345

Is the email address for notifications going to stay as it is.?
Playing havoc with my Outlook rules

 

[Jon]

I can't even work out how to do the moderation myself at the moment.

 

[Jon]

@Gasman Unlikely. Everything is in a state of flux at the moment.

Thanks. Obvious with hindsight!

is that bad that I said that? =/
@Jon12345 => I don't have time to send out petitions. I will just make due with the SQL tags. thanks.

I see that it saves a draft of your post also.

That's fine Jon, I'll amend to the new address.

Has anyone tried the Conversation feature here yet, which is the substitute for PMs? I used to hate the PMs before, since I had to click in a particular part of the window outside of the quoted text, and I never knew if I should click above or below the quotes!

 

[Jon]

@moke123 Yes, this was a feature requested last week.

@Gasman Great!

the conv. between you and I is just fine to me, Mr. Leader.

I am more of a servant.

I like how the reply box smoothly scrolls down once you have replied to a post.

Anyone notice how you start a new post? You can just click in the empty field called Thread title at the top of the threads. Super-quick way to get new threads going.

 

[Jon]

So much clearer because the conversation flows, and you can keep track of the conversational thread more easily.

I'm out as well Paul...

that's just stupid. doesn't everybody here say something useful most of the time? except for me, of course...
