The Forum actually has a profile mode that cuts down to two steps back for a reply. It stopped working for me when I signed out, but if you look in there it might help.
I do a lot of posting on here, and a lot of times I'll have multiple threads up, so having to quote and go out and back and.... yeah, I do the reply a lot and many a time I'll do one and not quote the above text and people will be confused.
It's a problem, yes, but other than changing away from the stock look/feel, I don't know of any way to fix it on the user end.

come on guys lets keep working on the quote pyramid =D

I have no idea how vBadvanced works, but most forums I've ever had the displeasure to work with or be a part of, they were able to add a reply tag at each post, so users don't quote every damn time. Is it possible to do this here in hopes of a good number of the one-sentenced posts flooded by paragraphs of quotes can go away?

Sorry, couldn't resist.
I agree with you, but you know as well as I do, that whatever you do to fix 1 annoying issue another pops up. My advice, don't let it get to you. I have a pet peeve with run-on sentences and poor grammar, but you can't fix everyone.

Problem is, people ARE that lazy, hence why I'm asking for a reply button and emphasizing my point through ridiculous overuse of quoting

I think when you hit quote, figuring out the above might be a bit much for some to figure out. Hitting MULTI might make it much easier for them to figure out.
A better option might be to restrict quotes to a specific number of characters. Only include the last X number? That way, noobs to the forum concept wouldn't abuse it?

What I'm suggesting, is that "post reply" button at the bottom of the list of posts be added next to the "quote" button at the bottom of each post. Or at the very least rename the "quick" button to "reply" so skim users won't have to quote entire jumbo posts like was going on in page 1.

Quoting in a thread where there are only two people involved is unnecessary, unless the O/P is long and detailed and you just want to hit on one point, then you quote that point

True, but like a few have said since my post, how many people need more than half a sentence quoted for people to grasp the point of the reply? Maybe it would require not accepting the post until the people narrowed down the quote? Kind of like a Twitter post - except this would only allow specific length of quotes, not the reply itself.

TParker, you said it bes man

i think it's either laziness or lack of understanding

Quoting in a thread where there are only two people involved is unnecessary, unless the O/P is long and detailed and you just want to hit on one point, then you quote that point

True, but like a few have said since my post, how many people need more than half a sentence quoted for people to grasp the point of the reply? Maybe it would require not accepting the post until the people narrowed down the quote? Kind of like a Twitter post - except this would only allow specific length of quotes, not the reply itself.

Look, jev made a funny.
So I made one back
Anyone (yeah, it's 1 word) else not read the entire thing? just for you, I replaced the italics I used for emphasis with bold.
Problem is, people ARE that lazy, hence why I'm asking for a reply button and emphasizing my point through ridiculous overuse of quoting

I think when you hit quote, figuring out the above might be a bit much for some to figure out. Hitting MULTI might make it much easier for them to figure out.
A better option might be to restrict quotes to a specific number of characters. Only include the last X number? That way, noobs to the forum concept wouldn't abuse it?
Oh noes I divided by zero!

It's a problem, yes, but other than changing away from the stock look/feel, I don't know of any way to fix it on the user end.

I have no idea how vBadvanced works, but most forums I've ever had the displeasure to work with or be a part of, they were able to add a reply tag at each post, so users don't quote every damn time. Is it possible to do this here in hopes of a good number of the one-sentenced posts flooded by paragraphs of quotes can go away?

I have no idea how vBadvanced works, but most forums I've ever had the displeasure to work with or be a part of, they were able to add a reply tag at each post, so users don't quote every damn time.

I do a lot of posting on here, and a lot of times I'll have multiple threads up, so having to quote and go out and back and.... yeah, I do the reply a lot and many a time I'll do one and not quote the above text and people will be confused.
It's a problem, yes, but other than changing away from the stock look/feel, I don't know of any way to fix it on the user end.

I have no idea how vBadvanced works, but most forums I've ever had the displeasure to work with or be a part of, they were able to add a reply tag at each post, so users don't quote every damn time.
