The quote bug Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Just curious... why is it that you can't quote a poster who quotes another poster

e.g.

Poster1:
Goodday all

Poster2: (Quotes poster1)
[ q ] Goodday all [ / q ]
It's not day, it's night

Poster3: (Quotes poster2)
[ q ] It's not day, it's night [ / q ]
Sure it's day...



Why doesn't poster3's post look like this instead:
[ q ] [ q ] Goodday all [ / q ]
It's not day, it's night [ / q ]
Sure it's day...

Full PM-box? Change here!

The full [quote] tags from another person's post get removed when you quote them. It is a feature from the boards. If people use [q], however, the board won't remove them. Both people need to use [q] tags rather than the full tags for it to work though.

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

In fact, because the [ quote ] tags are built-in in vB, while the [ q] tags are manually added.

I often use both variants within a post, if I'm breaking a single quote into several mini quotes.

I think it's a feature to prevent big huge useless quotes. And of course, big huge useless waste of space.

If you want to quote both quotes, literary quote both.

Where are Ixnay's "nested quotes from hell"?
That is all that seems to be missing from this thread now.

Here seems to be a cap anyway. I tried to display a nice quote pyramid, but all it let me do was 3.

Got spare money?

Nested quotes

The "functionality" of [ quote ] removing quotes in the quote seem to be common to all forums I frequent, and is quite annoying, I find.

It's one of the reasons I'm less and less using the quote button, and instead copy'n'paste the quotes manual into the reply field.

But, yes it can be an annoying feature, when you're trying to debate a point with someone...
