I think the quote quote quote thing is needed in some circumstances specially if the thread is pages and pages and pages long and lotsa people are posting posting posting very fast fast fast, its easiar to keep on track track track with references references references.. if you know what I mean mean mean.

If there is one thing that sh*ts me to tears with this forum is the multiple quoting of users posts.

To pick an example - the "spotted the new VE commodore" thread in chit-chat:

it makes reading replies ridiculous - having to scan through lines of text over and over and over again to see what the new reply is.

even the mods are guilty of doing it.

I think quote quoting should be limited to only being able to quote someone directly and not a whole message (if it has been quoted once)

Of all the car forums I associate with this is the only one that still does not have nor enforce this rule

for users who are using the feature, learn to cut and paste only the section of the quote you want to reference! don't be lazy arses and just quote the whole sh*t fight.

that's my whinge for the year.

I agree

I cant stand it either. :smilielol:

I say get over it :smilielol:

but its really annoying

No, it's worse when people have no idea how to quote.

I used to sometimes fix up incorrect quotes, but some people are just too lazy to fix it themselves.

The quoting is a setting or bug within the forum software. Instead of quoting the immediate reply, it grabs everything including previous quotes.

This forum software is in major need of an upgrade.
