I.e. when you're trying to answer 4 people in one post (which seems like the right thing to do as opposed to posting 4 times)unfortunately, instead of just cutting the a portion of the quote that you are directly going to answer or respond to... people just grab the whole post and all subsequent ones making this jumbled mess of crap...

If poeple want to engage in general conversation perhaps they should try MSN (again)Most forums only quote the last post...Bandwidth and site suffers.

cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 19y 5d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 16/05/06 06:43 AM Share Posted 16/05/06 06:43 AM (edited) Because - then you might have to go back and re-read bits of the posts to work out the chain. I agree - dont quote quote - but a bit of quote puts it in context and avoids confusion.So... when we spot quote quoting - shall we call the poster a 'Quote Bit*h?'

Brian's right, it's not hard to click edit and fix it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian's right, it's not hard to click edit and fix it up.← I do this all the time and most times get it right... However, if I do stuff it up and the quote turns out so its not in its coloured dialogue box, then I have no idea how to fix it.yes, trimming is the way to go... if you stuff up the trim and arent very computer savvy, then you cant fix it... I have no idea how to anyway anyway what to do? what to look for to fix it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
