Patch 1.8

images/media/bchat8.pngPatch 1.8 3rd April 2019 Select quote & multi quote/images/updates/selectquote.gifSelect quote: You can now highlight specific bits of text from someones post and a quote button will appear near your cursor - click it and it will populate the quickreply box with the BBcode to quote that selection (and scroll you down to the quickreply box too)./images/updates/multiquote.gifMulti quote: Click the multiquote button (it's next to the quote button) in a post and it will be added to your 'multiquote counter' in the bottom-right of your screen. You can add as many posts as you like to the counter. When finished selecting, click 'quote' in the counter and you'll be taken to the full editor. Race selection options/images/updates/raceclass.gifAdded the 8 playable races to the 'faction' selection in registration/control panel - you can now specify whether you are a Dwarf, Night Elf, Troll etc. You can of course just remain as Horde or Alliance if you'd prefer.I've also added some logic with jquery so that you can't choose impossible combinations like Alliance Shaman, Tauren Rogue etc. so that it conforms with the in-game combinations of race and class. If you already have an impossible combo you can keep it as a feat of strength - just don't change anything with those buttons or you'll lose it forever! :) Registration improvements/images/updates/registration.pngMade some improvements to the registration system. For example, if the user selects Undead as their race when registering, their forum skin is automatically set to Tirisfal Glades, and their avatar is set to either the Male or Female (gender is chosen randomly) Undead avatar from the old blizz forums. These settings can be changed later of course.Upon successful registration the user is now also logged in automatically and taken to the index page so they can start browsing straight away. Before you would have to view a message screen, which asked you to log in again after registering - annoying!Hopefully these changes will help introduce new people to the idea of customising their profile and forum skin - as they will see the default theme and avatar change according to their selections on the registration page without having to have made any changes themselves. It'll also be nice to see some variety of default avatars for new members instead of the normal 'Guest' one which is very prevalent (seeing as you can't choose an avatar on registration, most people don't bother). Other changes Added a hover tooltip when mousing over someone's avatar in viewtopic: it shows a sort of mini profile (basic realm/guild/discord/bnet/posts/likes data) at a glance Added a 'back to top' link to top-right of quick reply box which snaps you back to top of the screen (so you don't have to scroll after finishing reading a topic) Removed realms from underneath usernames in viewtopic due to above change All guide authors can now see a link to the authors forum in user dropdown BC team members can now see a link to the staff forum in user dropdown Number of people displayed in viewtopic who liked a post has been increased from 10 to 20. Darkened the bullet points between the likers' names to improve readability I tried again to ajaxify the likes system (no page reload) but I just can't get it working properly guys, sorry! Increased number of topics visible per page to 50 - this will allow topics to stay on the 'front page' for longer as the forum moves faster 28 new topic icons have been added to the dropdown (each class + some more miscellaneous ones) There are now 96 animated avatars to choose from in the WoW Classic gallery Over 100 new static avatars have also been added to the Wow Classic gallery You can now see a dropdown select in people's profiles that shows what groups they are in (BC Team, Guide Authors, Registered Users etc.) Selecting a group with this dropdown takes you to the group's page and show it's members. New custom BBcodes introduced for guide writers such as mini-tabbed navigation areas, wowhead tooltip headers and target _blank links Created list of gold titles available for instant use for guide writers Created a copy & paste formatting template for guide writers You can now PM multiple users at the same time (up to 5) Combined some inline scripts in footer to increase performance Disabled the useless 'inactive user reminder' extension which was sending emails to people who are actually active, lol. Think it had something to do with corrupt sessions tables. Replaced wowhead 3D links in race/class comparison tool with a link to the raid/dungeon tier sets gallery here on bchat Crawler preliminary descriptive text for guides and tech sections modified Upgraded to PHP 7.1.22, and also the whole phpBB backend to v3.2.5. More stable/secure and supports the latest extensions. Wasn't as easy as all the past core-file modifications had to be accounted for. The usual SEO and speed performance improvements Bugs fixedFixed topic title tooltip...

In some types of dwarvish runes this symbol means letter "D" as in Dwarves. So maybe that is why. :lol:

Even so, I looked through the entire line up several times looking for the dwarf one (as I am playing a dwarf) before reading teeb’s note and realizing he has written them in the same order as the icons. :eek:
