the_nutcracker Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Oh yes it does! I've just experienced it myself: a user asks two questions and I have to answer in this old-fashioned "ad first question ; ad second question" style instead of simply quoting the relevant parts.Does this forum deliberately lack the quoting function?Or is it simply because you guys can't help using this extraordinarily exotic forum software instead of phpBB or the more common like?

GTHK Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 It was removed for abuse by people who quoted the entire post before them, and answering a specific question. Pretty unnecessary :/.Another thing that just adds to the clutter is the completely useless quoting of the post directly above yours. Doing it across pages is okay, but in the middle of the page is not. If you're quoting bits and pieces, it's fine, but I'm seeing a lot of people quote the entire post. This is useless. It's already implied that the previous post is the one you're answering. The entire point of the quote code is to make it clear that it isn't the previous post you're talking about.

Firon Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 You can manually quote with [noparse][/noparse] The quote pyramids were annoying, so the quote link was removed. The functionality still exists, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Maybe the template has a mod to enable the QUOTE function only if the user is quoting a post with a ranking inferior to X where X can be 5 or 10 posts.If the user quotes the last post, QUOTE function behaviors like with a simple REPLY...
