I don't like it either. A lot of conversation revolves around context. If you have to look back through a bunch of unrelated stuff to follow one line of conversation, it will be a pain. I think a lot of dimension will be lost without being able to see related and contextual responses.  It just means you'll have to click the little "jump to reply" button a few times. |

I figured that would be coming when they started making us trim them.
For the long argument threads it would be nice to have at least three maybe, just to keep track of the discussion on multi page threads. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think we need four levels before requiring the jump, otherwise you lose the relevant context. OTOH, I guess they're not hard to build manually, if that's going to be deemed acceptable use. Copy and pasting will also be scripted out and removed...  |

I hope this doesn't blow up old threads. Lots of stuff in the archives could get completely frakked... No effect on anything current--future only. 
There's supposed to be some way to manually keep the quotes prior to the last one, but I haven't seen it yet.

Also prone to getting messed up.

I don't like it either. A lot of conversation revolves around context. If you have to look back through a bunch of unrelated stuff to follow one line of conversation, it will be a pain. I think a lot of dimension will be lost without being able to see related and contextual responses. I'm open to ideas. What I did for now is add that little button next to the quote, which jumps to the quoted thread and so on down the road. This way you can follow it until you grow tired, or have seen the entire quote tree exchange. If this isn't enough, I thought of potentially recreating the "sub thread" as a popup div that creates a linear post history revolving around that quote tree. The only issue there is you can follow one branch at a time. Still, this may be a cool way to jump into a thread that has 4-5 conversations going on and follow each one on their own. |

It is acceptable. The key is the default load for the system, not a limiting factor. So you can create a nested quote tree or sub quotes to your heart's content. I tried to clean up some of the code fragments too which cause DIVs to be stuck and screw things up. Quoting should be clean, quick, and easy now. |

I think a lot of dimension will be lost without being able to see related and contextual responses. The context of a thread is the entire thread, not some massive quote tree. If you need a massive quote tree to know the context of the quote, you are not reading the thread, and are still missing out on most of the context. If you need more context, just click the black box with white arrow next to the quote name, it will take you to the quoted post. |

I used to post pretty regularly on a forum that trimmed only allowed one quote, just like what you implemented. In many ways I found it to be better and cleaner and I've come to prefer it. Of course, they also had multi-quote too.... People will get over it. |
