Quoting Woes - gtom - 11 Aug 2013
Just wondering out loud here but when I quote a reply to a thread, is there a way to not quote the rest of the conversation?
Ie
I like Buses
I like buses too
I like red buses
I like yellow ones
I know I can delete it but with most I'm thinking VBulletin it would only quote the last quote. If someone doesn't delete it can add a huge length to threads.
Just wondering if its a default setting or if you guys prefer it that way?

I don't think it's down to preference as chain quotes irritate most. I'm a chief culprit of chain quoting too, but it's ultimately down to laziness with me - deleting all of the other quotes seems like so much of a chore.
I do think most of us would appreciate it if such a setting existed to enable last post only quoting. I'll have a look in the admin panel, but I'm guessing it's something Liam will have to code himself if a little button can't fix it there!

The maximum amount of inner quotes previously allowed was five it seems, looking at the settings.
I've changed this to allow only one quote (the most recent) as requested.

Different to gtom's original issue - but does anyone have any idea how to quote multiple times in one post or change where the quote is in the reply?
Prior to the changes, I could enter content, quote someone and reply to that.
When posting a reply now - it doesn't seem possible to do that now, nor include multiple quotes/individual responses.

Click 'Quote' on all the posts you wish to quote, and then click 'Reply' on the final post you wish to quote.
I dread to think of what the outcome will be for those with quoting issues...
