    I always manually edit the quotes out when in PMs, since they've always stacked up in there

    The place Ive found the quotes to be at there worst are in PM's. They're just plain irritating.

    It's a simple trick not to keep up the quotes when you PM back and forth with someone.

    Whenever you quote somebody who's got a quote in their post, you get something like this:

    [quote][sb]Originally posted by Dave's itchy armpit[/sb]
    [quote][sb]Orignally posted by the leftover pizza[/sb]
    1. Each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes to respect and to ensure to all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction the rights recognized in the present Covenant, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.[/quote]
    I agree.[/quote]

    This turns into a 'quote within a quote' when you post it.

    The solution is simple: Delete the unnecessary extra quote.

    [quote][sb]Originally posted by Dave's itchy armpit[/sb]
    [quote][sb]Orignally posted by the leftover pizza[/sb]

    I agree.[/quote]

    The end result is a nice, simple quote:

    If you see the pyramids, just use the warn button, and Leeza will be happy to send a nasty pm to kishi telling him to deal with it.

    Personally, I don't like them, and I wish we could go back to the old quotes. Solves both problems.

    The old quotes, that used 2 horizontal rules instead of the alt-coloured box? I think they look ugly

    Why not just go back to how it was before this method where each quote is already recorded.

    If someone wants to add another quote within a quote, they can do so manually, like I would do.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    It takes more time to add in quotes than it does to delete them. Therefore, eliminating automatic multi-quotes would be a waste of time.

    Why not complicate things a little?
    Two quote buttons instead of one:
    Quote - Just quotes the basic post, not the quotes in it.
    Full Quote - Quotes the entire post, including prior quotes.

    Just a suggestion. I'm really not too fussed, though I'd tend to agree with what Kishi just said.

    That's actually a pretty good idea, as long as it wouldn't be too tough to do. Knowing our luck, it'd probably involve five different hacks, though. xD
