I mistake I made that looked a bit like this is not seeing the 2 questions close to the bottom of the screen that you have to answer to deter bots and spammers. Check you have entered answers to those two.

I just tried it again and once I deleted the http/ I could now save my changes. Thanks for the reply

From a thread in OT:
I have found that once you select "quote", you can then just go to the new thread, and click into the empty post box and the insert post option will appear. Click on that then the selected quote will drop into the box. No need to cut and paste. Quick and easy.

Are threadmarks a thing in these forums?

I don't really know how to describe it, but something like, if you wanted to direct people to a certain post in your thread, you would mark it as an important part of the thread. Like the ones at Sufficient Velocity .
Example (Right above the first post you see): https://forums.sufficientvelocity.c...antasy-golden-age-dwarf-runelord-quest.63581/

You can just link to individual posts using the individual post's id and the [ post ] tag. The forum software will render it as a URL that is a permalink to that specific post.
So,
[ post=post number ] text [/ post ]
will be
a link to your post above.
You can also be a lazy bum and copy the link to report post to your clipboard, delete the word ‘report’ from it and place it in a regular URL tag. It should work, most of the time, but CFC sometimes changes its software and the URL system has changed so some earlier links from the past are broken. With the [ post ] tag you always get a permalink to the post with that post ID rendered.

That said, actually marking or highlighting a post for any passersby to see is not currently enabled as far as I know.

Just looked it up in the xenForo community boards and threadmark is an add-on that is currently no longer supported by the creator. So we won't use it.
Linking as per Takhisis' post above is probably your best bet.

Ah, I see. That's a shame. Thanks for the advice to both of you, though.
One more thing: there's a similar feature for threads, because browsers keep changing the display for threads and what-not but if you want to link to a specific thread by its ID then [ thread ] [/ thread ] is your friend.

I have a technical issue with the log-in. Which of the mods could I contact privately to discuss it?
Started a conversation with you.

Thanks a lotStarted a conversation with you.
What is the purpose of following and followers on your profile? Everyone seems to have a few.. is it automatic?
No real purpose, as far as I can see, and no, not automatic.
(why is it there then? No clue, need to go to Xenforo and ask the devs)
Thanks. Seems a bit like MySpace's top 8 friends
Do you remember following the 65 people listed on your profile then?
Yes, I do remember that. It was all when CFC was still using vbulletin. There we had a "friends" feature, which was, as far as I can remember, as useless, and got converted to followers here on Xenforo.
I guess it's nice to say "I know this person better", but it doesn't serve a real purpose here.

If you click your username, and then "your news feed", you can see their posts.
^Indeed.
In the times of vBulletin we had ‘friends’ and ‘contacts’. The latter were, as far as I remember, simply a handy way of storing other users' names in case you wanted to search for their posts or drop them a line. The former actually was useful in restricting some actions such asconversations PMs and profile posts.
But then everything changed when the Xenfire nation attacked.
