Don´t you think so! Using these: “” isn´t the same!

I think it would be good, but I don’t think it will happen, even with the new forum planned...

I’d also like to see a proper “quote” feature.
But the problem is that there’s soooo much people who seems to never learn how to quote properly, and then (because of laziness...) quotes a 30-line post just to add “hehe...” or “Indeed”

Aaarrgghhh... I *hate* that.

When you need only one click to quote a post, it’s way too easy for everyone to abuse the system, infecting our beloved threads with endless chains of quotes of quotes of quotes of quotes. And that’s a Bad Thing (tm)

So yes. I like the feature. But it should come with some limitations and/or education (I suppose the former is more easy to implement than the later... hehe)

I don’t see a problem using the ” “

I agree with this by Changhi, it’s just annoying! :D

PS. Quoting this took me 10 seconds...

yes quote‘s can be bad too! :(

Quoting is good if you just quote what IS needed and not everything someone said...

LaMan said on July 1, 2005 21:28:

finally smart post from ally. Agreed.

Quoting is a good thing if use it properly. Always and everywhere will be some persons not understanding it but it’s not the reason to refuse of quoting option.

nah, the quote feature thing looks messy on other forums. this one is simple clear and, perfect really.

LittleSpooky said on July 3, 2005 22:36:

Depends on the person using it.

I’ve used it several times, but editing stuff to get the line that I wanted, rather than the whole post.

After reading some of your comments I agree and I changed my mind: I don´t want quote anymore! It´s better this way.
