Is it possible to have the board only quote the text of a post that someone typed, and NOT the quote that they were responding to?

What I mean is, if person A types something, person B quotes it, and person C quotes person B...then person C's post has person A's quote in it as well as person B's quote.

This becomes an issue when you're trying to post something, and the board bitches at you because you can only have 3 quotes within themselves.

It would be nice if when I quote someone, I'm only quoting that someone, and not the various quotes they already quoted.

No clue. Maybe?

If there is an option of changing the quote, it would make sense to me to have two options either "quote entire post" or "quote new text only". I am usually against the multi-embeded quotes, but there are times when it is appropriate even if it is greatly overused.

Is it really that hard to delete what you don't want quoted?

That's what I do. Just make sure to have the 'quote' and 'end quote' brackets in the right spots.

No, it's not that hard to do it. Just annoying that it defaults to quoting the already embedded stuff, and then it tells you that you can't post your post because there's a limit on the number of embedded quotes (which the system itself quoted, not you).

Is it really such a bad thing to ask about the available options for the board, in regards to quoting?

It appears the only quote tweaking that can be easily done is setting the max 'quote nesting'. Quote nesting is currently set at 3. I will try changing it to 1 and we'll see if that is an improvement or not.

I think that actually might be worse. Can we put it at 5? I think people will start editing out the quotes when you get to that level because anything more than 5 embedded quotes just looks like a mess.

I believe the correct response should have been "Shut up you freeloaders, go somewhere else if you don't like it"

I'm game to try anything. Will set it at 5 and see what we all think. Jeeze...freeloaders.

Thanks for looking into it. Appreciate it

Hey, you're not part of our business model. If you don't like it you are free to go elsewhere. lol!

Just make sure you don't tell anyone else where you went, if you leave here you are dead to us!
