Quoting

[SGirl]

Hiya.

Just a thought... but you know this issue of nested quoting, which makes posts a lot harder to read after a while? Could it not be countered by putting a Reply button at the top, next to the Quote button? That way people could reply without quoting. Okay, I know they can already, but not everyone scrolls to the top/bottom of the page before replying.

Like I said, just a thought.

I'd like to see a limit on how many quotes can be nested

A limit to the number of nested quotes is already in the works, but the reply button on each post is an idea we hadn't thought of. It's definitely an interesting one though, so I'll add it to the list.

how many would be the limit in a nest then?

[JJCW]

Some forums have a 'quote' and a 'quote multiple' option.
The first just quotes the actual post, whereas the multiple keeps the chain.

May work

If we decide to go ahead with it then probably around about 5, but we'll need to test it before we settle on a number.

That is a very interesting idea, I'll add it to the "good ideas" list!

Maybe eight's a tad too far... ?

Grrr. Can we make it two, please?

Some of us are using an Eee...

Agreed! It's a PITA having to scroll through half a page of nested quotes, only to find a "me too" added. Two is plenty.

Oops!

You could wire Mr Will directly up to the server power supply, problably not very useful but would be to watch?

Is there absolutely no limit to the number of nested quotes the system will support at the moment?

I wonder? There must be a limit?

Whether it get's difficult to read or not rather depends on your real estate. Oure friend on the eee is probably struggling by now - not me though.
