iQuotes - Quote of the Moment

[Hawker]

If you were on these forums before we changed to NeighboursFans in 2005, you might remember the Quote of the Moment system.

 

It wasn't available for Invision's new software, so for the past few years, the feature has been absent. However, it's now returned! For those of you who don't know, it's basically a function which puts short quotes underneath the banner and above the posts.

 

Adding Quotes

 

You can add quotes by going to the Add a Quote page, which can also be accessed by the "iQuotes" text on the toolbar (next to the Calendar).

 

When you add a quote, please follow these simple rules:

 

1. No quotation marks.

2. No code or HTML tags (so no bolding or italic).

3. Don't make up quotes - the board logs who submits quotes, so if you're caught doing it, your quotes won't be approved in future.

4. If you're watching Australian episodes, feel free to submit quotes but they won't be approved until they've aired in the UK so that other viewers aren't spoilt.

5. Please use capital letters for the speaker - e.g. KARL: Hello!

6. Try and make the quotes short and snappy.

 

Don't fret if your quotes don't immediately appear - they have to be approved by the Staff, which may take a little bit of time.

 

You can see how it used to be look on the old sites (e.net and e.com) below:

 

 

Any questions, problems, comments etc - fire away below.

Thanks, Sal. I've missed the quotes of the moment, so it's great to see them back again.

Oh how I've missed QTM! Thanks Sal

Any chance an episode number can be attached to each one, or will that prove problematic?

Any chance an episode number can be attached to each one, or will that prove problematic?

For a lot of them we don't know what the episode number is, so I don't think it will be possible.

 

You could always put in in brackets after though:

 

PAUL: xxx

GAIL: xxx

(Episode xxxx)

Cool, was just a thought, but I guessed that would probably be the case! If I add any, I may just do that, though!

 

Thanks!

[EmRed]

Loving having the quotes back, though I'll never get any work done now!!

[ShadowDan]

Looks great! I was never around back then, so that's an extra handy hack for the forum

[shazza]

This takes me back.

 

Thank you so much, Sal.

[Brina]

I wasn't around when the quotes were around before but it looks great and the quotes that have popped up already are fantastic Thanks Sal.

[Hawker]

No worries; I'm glad that you're all pleased.

 

And thanks to everyone submitting - I'd forgotten how funny some of the old quotes were!

[Katie]

Woohoo I always love the quotes!

[Shona]

Great to see the quotes back - one of mine came up when I logged in this morning! Thanks Sal .

[Georgie Jutland]

Cheers Sal! It's fantastic to have this feature back - it's such a great addition to the forum.

 

I've already nicked one (added by Tracy F I think) for use in my signature!

 

Thanks again .

[Col]

Great work Sal, I remember quotes, didn't realise I was here in 2005!
