    Nested quoting feature added

    One annoying "feature" of vBulletin is its refusal to let you quote already-quoted messages.

    For example, let's say I was responding to someone else and quoted their message, and you wanted to then respond to me, quoting BOTH the original message and my response.

    There's no way to do that on unmodified vBulletin. It would just show my quote, without the context as to what I was responding.

    I have modified the code of vBulletin to allow this, so now quoting messages will also quote the existing quotes in them.

    This should push Marty over the edge. Hopefully he has a brain aneurism instead of tilt posting about it in every thread.

    I forget what the max nest was.

    It was unlimited for a short time, but I noticed people were just hitting the quote button and you would see a super long and complicated nested conversation before the 1 line added to it, so I decided to cap it at some low number.

    This thread reminds me of when I was young and foolish and actually wrote new features for this site.
