This is a pet peeve of mine, and I think it really makes a forum look ugly and interrupt the flow of a thread: a new post with each quote. A lot of people here seem to not know how to put more than one quote into a single post. Rather, they just make a new post with their new quote, so there will 2, 3, 4, even 5 posts in a row by a single user just because they wanted to have a few different quotes.

I just think it would make threads smoother if there weren't 4 or 5 posts in a row by the same user.

They can cut n paste the user/post number into their quote.

there's a multiquote button in each post as well (the button with the " ) you can click on it for each post you want to quote, then click "post reply".

^^ I dunno if you misunderstood my post or I wasn't clear (more likely). I see a lot of people here post 2,3 even 4 times in a row because they don't know how, or won't use the multiquote option. It makes the forum look really bad. I think there should be some rule about triple or quadruple posting.

I don't get how the multiquote option works.

something I really hate is when someone quotes the revious post.
That's the most stupid thing to do! And it's worst when they quote tons of pics...
Really annoying.

Quotes are very important though, I'd have no idea what anyone was talking about without quotes. :colbert:

Without quotes if you're responding to the person directly on top of you. Like this ^^

Now it would be kinda dumb if I'd still do this:

It is not that difficult to quote several others, though I just copy and paste them to make it easier.

That's what I said here:

It's really time consuming.


Try the multiquote option.

Hi, I've been trying to post in SUPERTALLS, other sub-forums and post a new thread, but i can't, i don't know what happened, i can't reply or quote to anyone, or post in some sub-forums or even send a PM, because when i try to post this is what it says: "In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist."

I don't know, can anyone help me please? Is this SSC's problem?? or mine??
