Mousefire Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 When you quote someone it doesn't include the previous quote! That kinda ruins some fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fayt Zelpher Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 When you quote someone it doesn't include the previous quote! That kinda ruins some fun... I brought it up on the ticket system. I'd like to know if this was intentional, and if so, the reasoning behind it. It might just be a part of the forum hardcode now and beyond the power of the admin to change it, for all we now.

Loki Laufeyson Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Alot of forums dont include quote pyramids anymore. Mostly because they get annoying. I see no problem with lack of pyramids since im used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just be a part of the forum hardcode now and beyond the power of the admin to change it, for all we now. Dunno. We used to never have quote pyramids before, back in the old IPB versions in like Winter-Spring of 2009. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prompto Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Also, isn't there a problem with spacing? If you quote somebody, all the spacing between lines of words go away. P: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Zelpher Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 What? :( Quote pyramids are awesome. I don't mind them, and it is useful when you want to trace a full argument. I'd say a 7-10 recursion limit would have been preferred to an outright ban, but still, super-long pyramids do get annoying after awhile.

Fayt Zelpher Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Does this get past it? Well, you had the wrong inner quote. I was quoting Big Boss, not Soluna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK-201 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Ignoring that. It was an experiment so I didn't bother to get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Zelpher Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Ignoring that. It was an experiment so I didn't bother to get it right. I see. Anyway, how do you propose to get around that until the moderators get around to answering my ticket on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On FEP, there was a giant pyramid of saying the same phrase. I thought it was funny, but that was my very first quote pyramid. It does get annoying after a while, though. I see. Anyway, how do you propose to get around that until the moderators get around to answering my ticket on the subject. It probably won't be answered any time soon. Maybe Tino will check it, but maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm glad they got rid of it. I've been cutting previous quotes out of the posts I quote by hand ever since I signed up here and it saves me a bit of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fayt Zelpher Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 They need to bring them back! That's not going to happen. I already brought it up via ticket system and they were fairly resolute in their decision to eliminate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
