I like the quote function but can we limit the amount of quotes though? I mean, seeing 20 (I'm exaggerating but you'll get the point) quotes in quotes and there's a tiny new reply for those quotes is very annoying. Is it necessary to include the old quotes that are no longer needed in your new reply? IP: Logged |

Randall,Posters could still use the UBB CODE quote tag when they really need to quote someone for clarity's sake or to introduce and attribute a quote from a book, website, etc. So I don't think it is necessary. Personally, I find the 'edit' button more useful, because for some reason I see grammar/spelling/other errors more easily once the post is up on screen and I'd like to be able to correct it. ------------------ The Declinations Guy Rising Sign Descriptions Energy Healing by request IP: Logged |

quoting because i agree and people should never stop thinking about what they are writing about - knowing that someone might quote you and that you would not be able to edit it should motivate people to think before they speak (write in this case) IP: Logged |
