    Depends on the photos. Sometimes they are just so good ("audio porn"), they deserve repeating.

    Full post quotes and quotes that don't link back to the original post piss me off too! It ain't that hard to edit the bit inside the 'quote' BB Code - If anyone is nervous they needn't be as other members will appreciate the effort even if it takes a couple of attempts to get it right.

    Unfortunately, unlike Avatars, Signatures and Images, there's no option to suppress quotes from the forum's rendering of posts... and often, the quotes are important to understanding someone's point, so I can understand why that's the case.

    Hopefully Stan's post will assist people in thinking twice before hitting the 'quote message in reply' option

    It looks very untidy and just plain wrong, especially with multiple quotes!

    Why not simply use the facilities provided, instead of acting like a daftee?
