I get REALLY sick and tired of having to copy and paste text after hitting reply, if I am hitting reply to a single post it's pretty obvious I'm going to quote it.
I HIGHLY suggest that when you hit reply it will automatically quote that person with <.....em.....>-remove periods for actual emphasis.
No that is not a viable solution because then no one knows WHAT you are quoting. The only time I ever resort to such, is when I'm multi-quoting because with the current system in place it would just take WAY too long.
pretty much standard forum protocol. no reason this site should be any different.
@Phil
THANK YOU, a person with some darn sense.
need a reply to quote what you are replying to. It's basic message board stuff.
BTW, hi skype :) I see you keep as ridiculous of hours as i do, lol.
just because its typical doesnt mean EVERYONE does it
whether they do it or not matters little to me
@Monkey Dude there are just certain netiqutte things and forum basics you follow, this forum software is absolute crap, in fact I would go so far as to say it's not even a forum. It's more like a giant bulletin board with categories. NO avatars, signatures, pming, quoting, multi-quoting, user settings, post sorting, etc., etc., etc.
THIS is a forum people!

They use phpBB and it works JUST fine. In fact I have grown quite used to it. Heck, even IP board would be better then this Drupal (said with a snotty and looked down upon air) crap.

@Jeburk Sup bro, what's your IGN? Yah I'm up until after 10am everyday. I'm just not always haunting the forums, lately I've had my head in Terraria. Fantastic game.
A bulletin board with categories :D More correct than wrong in a lot of ways.
@Jeburk What can I say? I really hate this Drupal crap. OH Jeburk you forgot to give me your IGN.
IGN Pawn. Lol i'm almost always on :) I'm an aspiring bomber. I've been real close to sending you a couple in game mails, but always got sidetracked.
Raul right?
To get back on topic; yes I think a forum needs this. With automatic quoting replies will be more clear and easier to read.
Yah I'm Raul, you've probably seen me running around. I think they just need a whole new forum system but I'll take what I can get..THIS time.
just put @ (name)
it doesnt quote but people know who ur replying to
