Quoting users (limit)

[thebritish]

The limit is just fucking anoying.
At least make it, so it will automatically remove the quotes which are older than the first 4 instead of forcing users to delete the quotes on their own, so they can post.

I agree

I think musk tried that, then removed all the quotes ever on the entire forum lol. So just keep it this way haha.

Just try to use some common sense, use the @ when appropriate.

@ doesnt quote the user and he wont be notfied.

Yeah I must say it was quite handy on the other forums, where it automatically kept only 2 quotes. But well if it's too much work to code it I guess it's not worth it

Use [quote = "username"]any text[/quote]
and you will get

any text

[deleted_user]

[quote = "username"] I like pickles and hard boiled eggs [/quote]

:O :O :O me too

Yeah, last time I attempted this it broke things. I intend to give it another shot sometime but no promises.

Yeah the @ from the old forum and the quote limit were pretty neat. Probably worth fixing if theres time to do so.

Then, why does the quote option even exists?
-Everyone can just talk with themselfs if the other person cant see the reply..

So you can quote someone once. No need to make a pyramid really.

[momuuu]

Well the suggestion is decent.. atm it sometimes requires a little bit of effort to remove a few nested quotes, would be nice if that'd be done automatically #lazylife.

[iNcog]

Yeah that's for sure. Sorry the point of the thread sort of flew over my head. :p

The algorithm is parse the post for quotes. Keep a counter. When counter equals 4 and next quote is found highlight the text. When highlighting and the count of open quotes drops back to 4 then replace with (...)
