(Always strive for perfection ... don't quote extensive posts unnecessarily!)
Can you guys make it to where when someone quotes something that is a 4 page long post it doesn't simply re show the whole message, and just summarizes it or cuts it? Hell, it might save on bandwidth costs.
Not a big deal, just one of those things that I grind my teeth about. :D |
On a related note I'll mention again about poster-sized images but even worse is when the damn things get quoted x number of times more.
|
It's when there is a huge post and someone quotes it and says "That's cool!" where I just giggle and think "Efficiency Forum"
I would cite specific examples of this phenomenon, but I don't want to be rude, so I'll leave it up to Frank. |
Oh, I would never want to offend anyone's sensibilities! :eek:
|
I would say: please go ahead and educate the excessive quoters.
Feel free to point them back here. If we made an automatic quote-trimming feature, someone would surely complain (rightly so) that they can't quote the part of the message that they want to. (People like me: I regularly cherry-pick parts of long quotes.) |
How about an auto shrink feature if it's more than a page long then?
|
I'll see if there's a plug-in for that. But I'm still inclined to say: hound them!
|
I can't understand why some users quote a certain post, when their reply would be just as good without it:confused:
This forum's software is already at least one step forward, since any quotes in the original, cited post are omitted when replying. Imagine someone replying "+1" not just to one post, but to all of the previous posts, quoted one inside the next recursively:eek: |
