Suggestions.... Post quote copy too heavy - hitwriter - 09-15-2010 03:30 AM

I would hope the reply/quote feature would only copy the actual post you are responding to without creating a huge super reply of every post realitive... if possible?

I agree - It starts to look like a pyramid after a while

I really like being able to see a tiered view of quotes. Its one of the changes I hated when they got rid of it over on the AFMB. Yes, it can get out of hand if used improperly, but it is up to US, the posters, to realize when a quote chain is getting too ridiculous. It only takes a couple seconds for you to delete all the quotes before the one you want to address.

Dont get rid of a feature that is this good when the ability to NOT use it is directly in the hands of posters, already.

I agree, I loved that feature, really helped you follow a conversation, especially in bigger threads where there are two or three different arguments going on at once.

Don't know if it is possible, but if someone could program the tree to minimize all but the immediately quoted post that would be good. Then if you wanted to see the previous quotes in that conversation you could expand all of the quoted info as you wanted/needed. Probably not a feature that can be implemented though.

If you Google 'image resize' or something it should give you a few websites to make it 100pxls the other thing is, is it animated? if so I think it has to be under a certain file size?

Thats a solid idea. Phocis might be able to pull it off. Just have to wait and see. Wink

Just seconding the quote fix request. It's the one jarring thing that keeps me from enjoying a conversation going on here.

Ta-dah!

Fixed.
