Could we please refrain from quoting a whole post directly above?
It seems a bit superfluous plus it's wearing out my scrolling finger.

Can all you Americans please refrain from using the imperial measurement system? C'mon, the rest of the world moved onto the metric system.

Don't get me started!

Would it be possible to cut off quotes that exceed a certain length? 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.

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!

Maybe quotes over a certain length could just appear as a link back to the quoted post, with the name of the poster next to it, since for the most part, quoting someone and writing "I agree" underneath is the same as putting "I agree with [that person]'s last post" with no quote.

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.

Added a scroll if the quote is really long.

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.)
