Quoting a discussion with two or three posts is not problematic at all. On the contrary, it's easy to navigate in the discussion because of the quote boxes. If we all don't quote pictures, or edit out the picture-codes, the quoting trees are fine and readable.Quote

I'm not one to complain about the format or rules of this board, but.....Some things are better left the way they were - too many 'fixes' can turn in it all into a quagmire. Like an update on your computer system - some of them are helpful and useful, while others are detrimental and useless. This new 'streamlined' format of quoting is a good example of technology run amok.Quote

I don't get BV:s non-answer here. Why is it important to impair the usability of the forum?Quote

I know what bv is talking about...but it's not unpolite to quote someone just to make clear to whom anyone is refering to. Hope the quoting button will get back it's formerly fine function.

Is this really such a cumbersome "brick" or "quote tree"? Is it really that wearying to people's fingers to have to scroll?
To me, judicious use of quoting simply provides context. Frequently there are 2-3 conversations going on in one thread, and it's necessary to know who is responding to whose last comment to make sense of anything.

If 1,000 people on IORR quote this post with their won preferences then there will be a "I like..." tree of 1,000 more quotes. Does such a tree add value to the average reader?

The dialogues and discussions will suffer because of this. For a conversation between two posters, it will be fine (like it was already, btw).
I really don't get this, but let's make the best out of it.

I think the way "quote this message" works at the moment is a board´s malfunction and not intended by BV.

Maybe discussions are not longer welcome...
I don't know.
