D'oh!  There's a forum option to set this.  At this point, it's either one way or the other, there's no option for buttons for both. I don't have time now to get both options to work, so let's try having it default to a simple, non-nested quote and see if anyone cares. The only potential drawback I can see is that now anything in quote tags is eliminated, as you can see with the above demonstration. Whether people will care?  |

I think the new setting is a little strange. I'd prefer that there be something there to indicate that something was removed.

Hmm, tough call. On the plus side, maybe it cuts back on this?  |

i.e. "shallow copy" vs. "deep copy"
Geek. 
I don't have time now to get both options to work...
"Lazy copy" ftw.  |

If you want to try using JavaScript, this might give you an idea about how to implement it. This code will strip out any quotes that came from another post (as opposed to regular text wrapped in quote tags), and it will also leave any quotes that are inside code tags as-is. Whatever is stripped out is replaced with a brief message. You'll still have to wrap the resultant text in quote tags with references to the original post. You can try it out here. Copy the code into the left textarea, and click the button. Then on the right-hand side, paste the message into the top textarea. Ah, you can figure it out.  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Grim. I don't have time today to look at the smiley bug when nested quotes are removed, so I put it back to the way it used to be. |

D'oh! There's a forum option to set this. Remove nested quotes when posting - This will only show the quote of the post in question, not any quoted posts from that post.
At this point, it's either one way or the other, there's no option for buttons for both. I don't have time now to get both options to work, so let's try having it default to a simple, non-nested quote and see if anyone cares. test |
