2 Things:


1. I hate quoting people who have quoted someone else. It makes it very messy when trying to quote a certin section of post made by a user. I have a suggestion: In the toolbar, and a QUOTE button.

It will add this on first click: <blockquote><font class=fonts><i>Originally posted by ***USERNAME***</i></font><hr>

And this upon second click: <hr></blockquote>

The only thing the user would have to do is the username, and copy paste the text wanted to quote.


My second suggestion:


2. For PM's...there is no toolbar when replying. It would be nice to have. Same with editing out posts. No toolbar.


Perhaps even adding the spoiler tag button into the toolbar would be good?

I know the quote system isn't great... Actually, I wanted to add that suggestion to my other thread, but didn't since no one replied since. :p

Here is it... Make it so quoting can be done through specific board tags:

[quote]message[/quote]

and

[quote=username]message[/quote]

Plus the button you requested, yeah...

Those sound like some good ideas. I'd be all for them. Multi-quoting can be a pain. I've left out the ending <hr> and or </blockquote> quite a few times. Now I always preview when doing a multi-quote.

Yes I get confused when quoting people who have already quoted someone else. That goes for PM too when you keep on replying to them back and forth with the same person. I always erases a {hr} or a [/blockquote] or something. I like Stifu idea for quotes.

Yes his idea for quotes would be ALOT simpler than the current method, but [quote] isn't html is it? <blockquote> is. I think thats why the board uses it.

YAY 2400th POST!

Well, that's the point. Making it a specific board code, to make it so you don't have to rely on HTML. This board already has a couple of codes like that, like [img], [url], [spoiler]...
