We probably all know the effects of quoted quotes.. Like this:

quote:

blabla
quote:

some more talking
quote:

and even more







Very messy in my opinion

What about this replacing quoted qoutes with "[..]" ? An example:

quote:
FooBar wrote on 14/8/2002 @ 05:03:
[..]
and even more



This means that older quoted text is replaced with the [..] so a user knows there was already an older text quoted before. But instead of the mess it's a lot better to look at

Anyone able to fix this? Or any comments or other suggestions?


A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory.

I wouldn't want this.
Imagine you have to get some pages back to search for a quote marked as [...]

I agree with OneWayMule although I do see a point in what you're saying. Perhaps if that happens often on your forums you should teach your members not to use the "reply with quote" all the time, and delete quotes that aren't relevant anymore.

I don't quote anyone unless the post is several replies back, or if the subject is different and my reply won't make sense out of context.
