Is there a way to make quoting faster? If you just wnt to quote ONE person? Like say have "quote with fast reply" button and it yeah selects it for you.. to save the trouble of having to open up into the full "add reply" thing. and you just type what you want in the fast reply.

does that make sense?

For an example its used/on fanforum...and yeah.

I just selected your text, and under the fast reply box, a button appears that says "Add selected text as quote"

But as you can see, it doesn't show the name of the original poster, time etc.

You can add that in manually, but yeah.. Hmm

Artin

yeah, I was just thinking of an easier way to do it.. I knew that was there. it just gets annoying having to highlight it and click the button, when it could be done all at once.. etc

thats cool!



hehe ive never used that feature before!!

thanks

can't you just do that & add the details? i don't think there's a possible way to do it that's easier.

who can be bothered to add the details when one little "click" does it for you

Ooh, check that out. I'd seen the writing saying to add selected text as quote but never really aimed to do it.

Guess that works, eh.

I don't feel like checking it because it will take too long, but are quotes blue or brown on the Delta layout?

If they are blue, they should be brown.

They suit the Delta theme Jess. THey aren't blue, but they aren't brown.

I don't like this layout! *changes back to MI*

oh look

Another idea related to quoting

can we make it a rule that you can't quote pics, you can but just change that to the url instead, because its useless seeing the pics again in a quote.. and all you want to read is the reply.

also, with the fast reply quoting thing. can you do it on laptops without the touch pad? because when i highlight things, if i hit the scroll bar, sometimes it de-selects it.
xx

i do it on my laptop with the touch pad and it works..
maybe if you pressed the down arrow

Really? Two clicks are that hard?

Oh you mean Multi-Quoting?

Oh totally


In all seriousness, it was just an idea and I couldnt be bothered to highlight/"reply" whatever I wanted to quote. It probably won't change and yeah

and No I don't mean multi-quoting, we already have that here.. I mean "fast reply with quote" meaning you click a quote button and instead of having to highlight and copy and paste the quote its done for you and you just type your response in the fast reply.

Please, 2 clicks is nothing. Not when you are 108 years old.
