  • Reply with quote
I noticed recently that when you quote somebody who has quoted someone else it only comes up with what the person you're quoting actually said, and not what they quoted from somebody else. <<Does that make sense?

Sometimes it's useful to have quotes within quotes like before so why the change?

There were some people quoting a thread of about six posts and then just adding an 'agree' at the bottom, so a page could go on for on ages, but without saying anything! It was a bit of an annoyance trying to sift through, and scroll to the right place etc. So, a change was made so that quotes automatically quote the most recent person.

OK, a proposition... I agree it's annoying if someone quotes a whole shitload of posts just to say something trivial, but I find it just as annoying if I have to look back in the thread to get the context of the discussion taking place. So how about we make a compromise here. Let's say that there is a maximum number of quoted posts (for example, three). Meaning that you don't see the post of the person you're quoting but that you'll be able to see what the person you quote was quoting (and maybe what he was quoting too). But not more than that, thus preventing people to needlessly waste the space.
