Tinplate Art posted:These mostly multiple, excessively long and largely unnecessary quotes make it cumbersome to scan the topic, especially when they are repeated multiple times! My suggestion is to make a short reference to the post you are responding to instead of hitting the quote button! THANKS for considering my point of view!

wild mary posted:What I find unnecessary is when someone replies to a post that has multiple pictures and clicks on 'reply with quote" which repeats all the pics again.
TedW posted:I agree and will try to help. It’s especially cumbersome when all 20(or more) photos are duplicated in the quote. I do try to delete as many as possible from the previous posts when making comment about a single one.

Allan Miller posted:RonH posted:You can reply with a quote and delete what you want (pictures/wording) and leave what you think is necessary with your own comments
Absolutely! That is certainly the best way to do it if you are responding to some specific point made in a longer post. Takes a bit of thought and time, but certainly not much.
William 1 posted:I don't understand either why guys copy an entire post to reply, for example, nice layout. Just address the original poster by name, why copy the entire thing. I can honestly say I've never done that because I never bothered to learn how to copy a quote.

PRR1950 posted:Not to make excuses, but there's a good chance some users here don't even know they can edit a quote. It is also quite possible that other people accessing this site from a phone don't have enough screen space to see the "quote" to which they are replying. My "flip" phone doesn't give me that kind of access, so I can't say for sure. Heck, I don't even know what some of the icons at the top of this "Add Reply" box do.

I guess it could be worse! 
I'll go to my corner now and await my 50 lashes with a piece of FasTrack .
Luckily I haven't seen too many people exhibit this level of the problem yet.
