Quoting people

[-N-]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but typing in "Originally posted by " each time I want to quote someone kinda bugs me. Is there any way to modify this?

[Yamaneko]

Yes. Hit the quote button.

Use [q="Username"]Blah[/q]

to get:

[q="Username"]Blah[/q]

Or you could just hit the quote button.

Yes there is. It's called modifying it manually.

[Del Murder]

Sorry. There is no way.

[Yamaneko]

You're such a party killer.

Instead of saying "Originally posted by", why not go for something completely different? for instance...

Lo, for 'tis true that I do verily declare that Big D hath, just prior to this self-same posting, most eloquently declared, in tones so rich as may indeed be expected from one of such opulent and virtuous stature, that
w00t I agree

That, or something similar, might serve to alleviate your boredom/frustration with the present quoting style...

yes

I am SO tempted to make that the message that comes up every time that you quote a post.

[Big D]

Why not? After all, we've got [quote], [q], and [qi]; how about [qlongwinded] or [qbigdspecial] for those who crave a little archaicism in their quotes?

[eestlinc]

how about "originally posted by the user yclept Big D"

[Citizen Bleys]

yclept?

[Big D]

"Yclept" = "known as".

Aye, forsooth.

[Citizen Bleys]

Bloody. I thought I had Elizabethan english cold. I mean, who the *arf* else uses "belike" on a regular basis? It's an archaic term...
