    Default Too short a response

    I don't know if it's intentional or not, but since the upgrade to the forums you can't quote someone for your response, you have to put in a "<i></i>" or something similar after the quote for it to be accepted as a valid response.

    EDIT: And the title should be "Too short a response" but my fingers type too awesomely fast for my own good. :chef:

    You've always had to include at least two characters of non-quoted text, if I remember correctly.

    I'm pretty sure you could just quote someone and go about your business before the upgrade.

    FM should know, after all. He's on the site staff, unlike BoB here

    Actually, I agree with FM. I noticed it too, that there are no more tree quotes, and that we cant just quote something and post it, we have to write something ourselves too

    I've been wondering if the nested quotes were intentionally left out as well.

    It's an option in the admin cp to count quoted text towards the minimum length of a post. It used to be on.

    It should be turned on again, because it's bloody annoying. As is the lack of tree quotes or whatever.

    The quote thing is something to do with a PHP file, I believe. I might look into it later if nobody else does before I return from my break.

    I did't notice anything, but if this means no more pyramids, then I'm all for leaving things as they are.

    If pyramids are good enough for the USDA then they are good enough for us.
