Quote length limit?
I think we all have seen members who love to quote other members, especially the extremely long posts that some members like to make. I've already installed a mod to remove the quote button from the last post in a thread and that has solved one problem, but I was wondering if there was a mod to limit the number of characters that can appear in any quote. It drives me nuts seeing members quoting a long post and making a one like reply to it. I have looked but have not been able to find anything.

Yes, I have toyed with those options but none of the basic settings have what I am looking for. What I would like would be a 'Quote character limit' kind of thing that would automatically edit a long quote down to a character limit set by the admin. This would be transparent to the member and automatically truncate a quote down to the limit set.
I considered lowering the character limit per post and including the quote in the character count, but I have a feeling that some people would get a character limit warning and just dump the post instead of figuring out what to remove. |

Character count can get tricky, best way to do it is have the quote have a scroll bar, once it reaches a certain height.
Add this to your additional.css Code:
/* Start scroll bar in quotes */ .bbcode_container div.bbcode_quote div.message { max-height:300px; width:auto; overflow:auto; } /* End scroll bar in quotes */ You can adjust the height by changing, 300px in the above. |

It does in style manager.
You should make this a product it's got MOTM written all over it. |

But what you can do is edit the bbcode_quote template, and find this bit of code:
HTML Code:
<div style="font-style:italic">$message</div> Code:
<div style="font-style:italic; max-height:300px; width:auto; overflow:auto;">$message</div> |
