I love all my friends in some little way. Matty is more than just a friend.

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]

I agree.[/quote]
This turns into a 'quote within a quote' when you post it.
The solution is simple: Delete the unnecessary extra quote.

The end result is a nice, simple quote:Originally posted by Dave's itchy armpit
I agree.
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.
There should be a vote to decide!! =)

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. xDWhy not complicate things a little

Six, but who's counting?
