Thread: Quoting Script

that's a good idea. i see people quoting all kinds of stuff in their post and i wonder how they do it without losing their minds.

copy and paste... that's how i do it. when you really think about it, there aren't really that many people who will use this option. sure you two might use it, but i think in the long run only a handful of people will find this useful.

Copy and paste is all you really can do, unless you want to type it all out. You're right, only a handful of people would find it useful, but this is about quality, not quantity. And besides, people would benefit indirectly from this add-on by the handful of users that post the advice of that length and detail; it will allow these users to concentrate more on their posts and the threads of other users, rather than the unnecessary editing.

As I said before, it's not a necessity. It will only help the forum.

edit: oh, by the way, it will also allow valuable members such as misombra to consider posting longer amounts of advice, since it would become relatively easy, contrary to how they think now.

The better the advice, the better the forum is; we all benefit from the viewpoints brought forth by our fellow members.

Well, you should still look on the bright side; at what you are gaining out of the experience.

I was kidding. 'sides, my roommate is a douchebag. Nobody likes him. And I got my own room now!

The htm code for a quote is the characters [*quote] <insert text>[*/quote] to close the quote. You can put a quote inside a quote just like a math equation (same principle).

You need to remove the "*" for it to work (I just put it in so you can see).
