Quote

Hello,

It's possible to make the quote tags behave like the spoiler tags.
So, you quote someones long post and the content is hidden by default. Pushing the button collapses it and you an read. Pro: readers don't have to scroll through huge topics to read posts. Cons: readers have to click in a post if/when they want to see quotes.

For those that don't know what spoiler tags are:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Hello

Instead of spoil it has the quote or originally posted by UserX stamped on top and it can be spiced up a bit.

It is not possible to have old style and new style quotes at the same time. It is however possible to create an extra tag that will hide. Same idea as spoiler, but without the warning. It won't be linked to the quote button of course.

So, what do we want?

It works like this.

As you an see, the [noparse][ex][/ex][noparse] tags are added anyway. They can come in handy. Do we want quotes to be like this too, so that the quote button doesn't generate huge topis?

Personally I like the old style, but it would be nice if people only quoted the pertinent bits of a long post.

In the past, we saw quoting quoted quotes. After scrolling for several seconds in those posts there was a response: lol.

This board is a bit 'smarter': it doesn't include old quotes when quoting.

I'm all for the new system...

Actually, I kinda liked the other way for the backroom. It's often more useful for me there to be able to quote quotes in order to put certain points in context.

Just me, though. It takes no real effort either way.

You can do manually.
