When I quote a post containing a picture, I usually delete the picture's URL. Actually I've been posting this way since I read this post on this thread:

NEVER EVER quote pictures. It is spam. The pictures are there already. You may have a fast internet connection, but many people do NOT have high speed internet. If a page with say 10 pictures is quoted 10 times then people get only 10% of the real IORR speed. Basic calculations."
I agree with you about the links that should be able to work properly. A user may quote a message from another thread or that was posted days, weeks or years ago and if the link it's not working, sometimes it's hard to find the original clickable link.

QUATELY POSTS THAT FIGURE IN A "TREE OF POSTS". BECA
Nonsense, it's working fine.
If you look over in the 'Talk about Talk' forum, which I would argue is the right place to report & discuss this, you'll see that I posted about this about 48 hours before anyone else did.
Despite my severe great age I can spot technical problems, and that's good.
When BV returns from his mountain perhaps he can shift this thread to the right place?

The outcome of it all, if the quote function is meant to remain how it works now, is caught in the sentence in bold in Green Lady's post.
And if I myself am to quote in a post, I will need a PC to be able to do so properly. That is, by editing the quote to show who wrote what. If I don't edit, I will more or less be entering a desinformation. I, who often write on a phone, cannot then edit quotes. It will be difficult to refer to former posts without quoting.
With such a state of posting, maybe I'd better omit posting in most cases and only be a reader.
Thank you anyway, bv, for giving a response.
A test...
It can be a tedious and time consuming process.
This new format prevents a natural flowing 'conversation', and more than likely deters some people from even using the quoting system now.
As for the 'quote trees' from the past, at least you could see who was posting what, and it had a conversational flow.

If you need too many rules then it is usually because people do not think before they post, or because they ignore other people.
There are two ways of saying "You look great today" to a person:
A: The right way:
"You look great today. I really mean it. You look great!"
This is a clear and undisputed way of communicating.
B: The wrong way:
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. Bla bla bla bla bla bla meaningless words in between things you and others have said many many many many times. You look great today. I really mean it.

=====
QUOTING ON IORR:
Every person who post is responsible of how their post looks like. If the message is drowning in quoting spam then it is a bad post. It is spam and nobody will care about it. I might delete it, and it would take time for me, as moderator, to delete it. So please, do not quote pictures, do not make endless quoting trees. It is NOT good practice. It is ignorant spam.

I dont know what to say about pictures and quoting them. I guess it slows it all down to have them quoted too many times, so what ever people think is best. I dont mind waiting 5 seconds for cool pictures to load. One the best threads on IORR is the slowest loading because of pictures and I enjoy watching it load. I am in no hurry... if I was in hurry I wouldn't be here sitting here on the IORR dock, watching the river flow.
I do think links should be able to be quoted properly. As of right now links are breaking and unusable when they quoted.
Just my 2 cents, offering ideas, trying to help make it better, not complaining.

I would rather not see too many quotation bricks in threads. It's annoying. I just quoted somebody in another thread and I edited the quoted material to accurately reflect what I wanted to respond to, before I clicked the 'post message' button. That wasn't very difficult, and it looks neater compared to quoting bricks upon bricks of words.
I don't know if this new quoting thing is by design, or if it's something bv can't change because he's on vacation or something. But I don't mind the new quoting thing. Posters can edit their responses to quote specific material, instead of just clicking 'quote' over and over again and filling space with too many bricks. Just my 2 cents on the matter..

There are times your own comment is specifically directed at multiple earlier posts; at a thread in motion.
Also I can personally think of many times I have posted re. a previous photo. A picture that may have appeared 10 posts earlier.

But the problems we have now aren't related to quoting pics or long quoting trees?
If I quote two short posts (i.e. a poster who post one line + another poster who responded with one word), my quote will make it look like one of the posters I quoted said something he/she didn't.
That was not the case earlier.
But, fine, I will edit every post by going into the text and remove stuff, so everybody can see who said what.
It's not 100 percent certain that everybody knows how to do that, though...

The long quote trees are irritating and redundant. Why not just cut and paste the specific statement you want to quote and putting it in " " with an attribution to the author?

In the post above (a test), we see that Witness is credited writing everything that is quoted. The problem is that he didn't say all that. The quoting tool becomes useless if it doesn't work on two posts, imo.

Sometimes it is very usefull to quote more posts, it might make the conversation way more clear, but sometimes there are 10 quotes in one post, saying absolutely nothing, making the conversation absolutely messy. There are other forums, where this one-quote rule works, so I am sure that after some getting used to, it will work here too.
