The problem is that EVERYTHING would have to be changed. It would cost so much money it just wouldn't be worth it.

At least that's what my chemistry teacher told us like last week.

(we're learning measurements.)

Added a scroll if the quote is really long.

Yea. It's so 8bc.

While on the subject of quoting, I used to visit a forum which had a useful feature where you could select any text from a previous post and click on the user name and you'd get that text with quote tags.

There's an option on some forums to expand/collapse long quotes with a button on top of it. That's pretty neat.

Yeah, at first I thought this one had that option as well! because of the general appearance of it. It would be a cool and very useful feature!

The smaller fonts for nested quotes are a nice touch, but a 200 line quote with just an 'I agree' under it still looks stupid.

Then again, I guess that's really user responsibility.

Edit: There's an option on some forums to expand/collapse long quotes with a button on top of it. That's pretty neat.

Don't get me started!

It seems a bit superfluous plus it's wearing out my scrolling finger. wink
