Icy Phoenix

I think the biggest problem is that lots of users don't even bother to read the full thread before posting (or even quickly view it).
Having the post button under every post would even make it worse IMHO, relocating it a little higher could be better (immediately under the thread for example) but that could become a whole different discussion with many different opinions.

Not being able to easily quote only parts of the first post fully formatted (bbcodes included or most of them) is very user unfriendly too (at least I think so), unless you could still do it from posting history.

IcyPhoenix already misses the feature to be able to highlight part of a post in posting history and quote only that part with a push on the quote button (something I've been told is very hard to achieve after suggesting such a feature)

In short ..
The code suggested by TopoMotoV3X at our Italian site has upsides and downsides but personally I would not expand on it making it block even more... but that's just my opinion :oops: :LOL:

Ooooh and for anyone wondering what suggested code we are talking about or wanting to use this "feature":

What about the "Quick Quote" button?

:twisted:

Hehehehe ..we pretend it doesn't exist?

Seriously ...it should do the same as the other one IMHO

you are very nice.

however, I think this type of change reduces many people to copy too easily work done with so much effort

it is obvious that this change is not a certainty but a small starting point

I have been asked how to hide the "Quote" from the first post of each thread, if he had asked me as to prohibit [quote] tag, I would have told him to look for an alternative..
you could also disable the response mode by pressing "quote", but it would be possible to copy the same ... so maybe it is better and also faster to do as I have done.

You've done a great job TopoMotoV3X :wink:

We were just discussing up- and down-sides and maybe even additions.
I even think Maxbweb's request is not a bad idea :mryellow:
