For my own site, I have implemented a UserCP option to allow the user to opt-out of this modication. You never know how old the users computer might be, and while jQuery is very lightweight and shouldn't cause any problems, you just never know.

I apologize for not making this a part of the Product Install automated process, but so far I've gotten no answers to my query of how to do so. As soon as I find out, I'll gladly update the product!

• Go to AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field
• Profile Field Type: Single-Selection Radio Buttons

• Title: Enable Truncate Quotes
• Description: Turn the Quotes Truncation system on/off
• Options:
  

  Enabled
  Disabled

• Set Default: Yes
• Display Order: 8
• Field Required: No
• Field Editable by User: Yes
• Private Field: Yes
• Field Searchable on Members List: No
• Show on Members List: No
• Allow Users to input their own value for this option: No
• Which page displays this option: Options: Thread Viewing
• Save

Take note of the "name" of the new Field after you click save. Mine, for example, is "field12".

Go to AdminCP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager->Edit your styles Templates
Edit headinclude_bottom
Find the line:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['dbd_tq_enabled'] == 1">

Replace with:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['dbd_tq_enabled'] == 1"><vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['field12'] == Enabled">

Find the close of the if at the bottom:

</vb:if>

Replace it with:

</vb:if></vb:if>

Complete example using the self-hosted method:

		<vb:if condition="$vboptions['dbd_tq_enabled'] == 1">
		<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['field12'] == Enabled">
		<script type="text/javascript" src="/clientscript/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="/clientscript/jquery.jtruncate.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	jq=jQuery.noConflict();
	jq(document).ready(function(){
	  jq('.message').jTruncate({
		length: {vb:raw vboptions.dbd_tq_length},
		minTrail: {vb:raw vboptions.dbd_tq_minTrail},
		moreText: "{vb:raw vboptions.dbd_tq_moreText}",
		lessText: "{vb:raw vboptions.dbd_tq_lessText}",
		ellipsisText: "{vb:raw vboptions.dbd_tq_ellipsisText}",
		moreAni: '{vb:raw vboptions.dbd_tq_moreAni}',
		lessAni: '{vb:raw vboptions.dbd_tq_lessAni}'
	});
	});
	</script>
	</vb:if></vb:if>

And now your users have the option to decide for themselves
