Is there anyway that when you reply with a quote it leaves a couple of lines open at the top
instead of you having to slide it down before typing?


Thanks,
Rick

Rick, that is possible, are you asking this for your own site, or as a suggestion for the official code ?
I always like to have the quote first and then my reply.

If you want to change it on your site, try this:

In post.asp this is the code that does the repy-qoute:

if strRqMethod = "ReplyQuote" then
TxtMsg = "[ quote ]" & vbCrLf
TxtMsg = TxtMsg & rs("R_MESSAGE") & vbCrLf
TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "[ /quote ]"
end if

If you change that to:

if strRqMethod = "ReplyQuote" then
TxtMsg = vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "[ quote ]" & vbCrLf
TxtMsg = TxtMsg & rs("R_MESSAGE") & vbCrLf
TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "[ /quote ]"
end if

It should show a few empty lines before showing the quote.
For the TopicQuote, search for this code-part and change it the same way:

if strRqMethod = "TopicQuote" then
TxtMsg = "[ quote ]" & vbCrLf
TxtMsg = TxtMsg & rs("T_MESSAGE") & vbCrLf
TxtMsg = TxtMsg & "[ /quote ]"
end if



Note #1: I haven't tested this...

Note #2: I had to add extra spaces to the code to stop it from being converted.

Is it possible to show only the last quote if a message is already quoted?

if a post get quoted 5 times is a little hard to read the post.

Gor.. Worked Great! Thanks...

Most people I deal with reply with Quote from the top and it was making
it hard for them to slide the "Quote" down.

Thanks Again!


BTW... I had to change it in 2 spots.

if strRqMethod = "ReplyQuote" then

and

if strRqMethod = "TopicQuote" then

Hmm, not with a quick fix, it would also mean you have to automatically remove the text between the [ quote ] tags.
Besides, I don't really see the point of doing that, if I quote a message that has a quote of another message in it, I decide if the extra quote stays, if I only want to quote part of the message, I remove the other parts. Or if someone asks more that one question, I split the quote in multiple parts to I can put the answer right after each question.
There is no way to do that automatically.

Well...if they like it that way...then this is easier.

I know, if you re-read my reply you'll see that was there (and I didn't edit that after your reply !)
