is it really that hard to quote someone properly? if someone post a picture and you can see the picture, there is no need to constantly quote with pictures. if you want to reply to a comment, just quote that comment and leave the rest out. also, not all replies to a thread require a quote. so don't quote everything you see. that way the threads wont look as cluttered as they are now.

thanks

Okay! :lol:

    I agree with the OP. Quoting quotes -- especially long chains with photos (thanks H1!) -- can get a little ridiculous.

    Oooo this is fun!

    I want to play but I'm not sure I'm doing this right or left or center or whatever. So what's your suggestion for our massive party threads? Then people come to the party late and ask "what did I miss" then we all have to give them a play by play when they could just read for themselves in the long quotes.

    What about long chains with over sized photos?

    While we are at it, please stop with the over sized photos. Whenever you go to reply? The box gets teeny because the photo makes the page explode.
