Here's a tongue-in-cheek feature request...

Add code to count the level of nested quoting and the ratio of the quoted text to the new text. If either exceed a set value then refuse the post with an error message. Preferably rude and mocking. wink

Or client side JS code to collapse the quotes. That way you can collapse, say, 3 layers then you can expand it agian should you want to.

Or have an option in the panel to enable/disable it.

Xenocide... angling for work again smile

We are sorting this in the new parser which will be in QA next week. Though a few ideas have come out since we designed this bit, eg two quote buttons one for all and one for the post... which is the best idea so far.

And with no "edited by" footer, I notice. Direct database hack or a special account setting? wink
