Quoting/Reply

Post by BWFC_Insane » Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:14 am

I know that now you can only embed a maximum of 5 quotes in a post, to prevent long posts constantly appearing in threads full of quotes.

This makes sense. But when I want to reply directly to a post which has 5 quotes in it means deleting previous ones and checking format.

Would it make sense to have a "reply" button on each post that only quotes the text of the immediate poster irrespective of how many further quotes there are in it?

Does that make sense?
