  • Quoting has been disabled

    To cut down on the size of the posts and threads and to allow the ignore lists to truly work, post quoting has been disabled.

      I guess I can accept this as a good idea. I sure as heck don't want to read anything by the people on my ignore list!!!

        One of the things I noticed going through some threads is that on occasion the wrong person's name now shows up in existing quotes with a little code tag above referring to the actual poster. I had someone reply to me on something I didn't write.

          Blah. I'll get used to it, but I don't like it. Seems like I can't reply to private messages either.

              Let's see if this works.

              Yep sure does.

                  Obviously, I need to tighten this up a bit and allow replies to work from PMs. Further changes coming soon.

                    Quote display has now been disabled. Attempts to use the QUOTE format codes will be ignored when the posts and the PMs are displayed.

                      The rationale behind disabling the quote feature was this.

                      Members want to be able to add other members to their ignore lists. However, if a post contains a quote from an ignored member, the quoted post is not ignored. Disabling quotes fixes this.

                      Often times, long posts would be quoted and the only reply to the quote would be a simple sentence indicating agreement. This would needlessly make the threads and posts much longer than they need to be. Disabling quotes also fixes this.

                      Quoting results in repeated content in a thread. Disabling quotes also fixes this.

                        But in this case the solution is worse than the problem, IMO. And why are you deleting my posts that disagree with your opinion?

                          Yeah I'm gonna have to put in a vote against removing the quote feature.

                          Its absence really kills the natural flow of conversations within threads.

                          I can tolerate having to read the quotes from my ignored members. I see the wholesale removal of the quoting system as the proverbial "throwing the baby out with the bath water."

                          Not a deal breaker either way, though.

                            Keith, any reason why you just can't start deleting old threads that haven't been used in a certain time period?

                              Really, really bad idea.
