tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31597 Loc: Seattle, WA	I also like the way that quotes are tagged, with credit to the quoter above the quote area (see example below). I dislike that example you've shown, because it makes the screen more cluttered and harder to read. One of the reasons I prefer this BBS system to others is its simplicitly and its cleaner screen layout. I have no problem figuring out who's being quoted, I don't need the extra "In reply to HaK3rWar3zd00D" text cluttering up the message body text to tell me that. _________________________ Tony Fabris

drakino carpal tunnel Registered: 08/06/1999 Posts: 7868	Generally the person being quoted is going to be the one who is in the [Re:Drakino] section of the post header. Implementing the quote style you showed would need more then a quick hack, as I'd need to pull the person being replied to into code that dosen't normally see that variable, plus in most cases it's going to be redundant to the [Re:] block. I'll see what can be done once 6.2 comes around here.

Cybjorg addict Registered: 23/12/2002 Posts: 652 Loc: Winston Salem, NC	Thanks for the polite response, Drakino. I realize what the general preference is around here and I'm not trying to force things away from the norm or make more work for anyone. I just thought I'd offer a differing (outside?) opinion.
