Nested Quoting!

[Protonus]

This is a very basic feature that I guess vB hasn't implemented because of some problem they had in 2x. Even phpbb2 has this.

Nested quoting makes it so that if:
Bob says "hi"
And Frank quotes him and says "hello" back
and then Phil quotes Frank, his quote shows Bob AND Frank's original text.

In other words, quoting quotes EXACTLY what the quoted person had in their post - It doesn't Truncate it.

Our board recently switched from phpbb2 to vB, and it's driving myself and other users nuts... anyone know of ANY way to do this? Any hacks would be MOST appreciated!!!!!

1 Line Hack that works for all vB 3.x Versions

In functions.php
FIND

PHP Code:

function strip_quotes($text)
{ 


BELOW that ADD

PHP Code:

return $text; 


But keep in mind that Quotes nested too deep will cause Problems.

Sorry to necro this post, but my users have been bugging us for the return of nested quotes since we dumped phpbb for vb last year.

So Kirby, I am just curious.. what sort of issues are we looking at for deeply nested quotes?

Is there a possibility of limiting the number of nests to say 3-4? I don't see a need beyond that.

Thanks much.

any way to specify nested background color and font?

Problem: Adding that, while allowing for nested quotes, strips the quotes out of subscription emails.

Any fix?

Is there a way to do this so it only goes 2 or 3 quotes deep?

Would it be possible to get some more details on that?
How deep is too deep, and what kind of problems? As in, screwed up formatting, board crash? How severe of a problem?

Thanks in advance.
