Is it a rep button ?

I don't know what a "rep button" is, but I can tell you what the button with the green plus does: When replying to a post it allows quoting multiple posts in the same reply.

Try it: log in, press this button below one post and the "quote" button below another one. Both posts will be quoted in the message editor. You can now delete the irrelevant parts and keep the desired quote portions from both posts.

As some of you know, I've been working on a new site that archives old HP calculator sites because of their historic significance. I feel that the old forum's discussions are something worthy of adding to this archive.

Recently I have been working on parsing all the data in the old forum and loading it into MyBB software, just like what is used for this forum (though I am running a newer version -- 1.8 instead of 1.6). It's still a work-in-progress, and I will be continuing to refine it, but you can browse it at the following location:

https://archived.hpcalc.org/museumforum/

I was amazed to see that there were nearly 175,000 posts in the old forum, from 1999 to 2013. I believe approximately 1,000 posts were lost before Dave started archiving it, though. Add that to 97,000 posts (as of this writing) made to the new forum, and around 230,000 posts made to comp.sys.hp48 that I have archived, and that's half a million posts about HP calculators!

Dave Hicks, if you are interested in using anything I put together, just let me know and I'll send you whatever you want.

14 years, how fast time flies. Nice work, Eric.


Thanks Dieter

PS: the rep button is akin to a like button , adding to someone’s forum reputation , some forums have it, some not
