FB1609 0 #1 August 12, 2013 Just my little rant... Why does everyone on this forum quote a huge wall of text for no reason? You could at least cut what is irrelevant. This leads to pages of the same thing over and over....yes I read it already thanks. Use the reply button or edit the quote if it's huge...how hard is that? It really would make this place easier to read a whole thread. Anyone else ever feel like this or do you love using the quote button?

ChrisL 2 #5 August 12, 2013 GooniesKid I don't see a problem with it..but for you, i'll edit what's relevant then I expect the OP was specifically aiming that at the places where someone quotes a person that posted a page-long message. I've wondered the same thing on occasion. I usually edit the quoted text and just leave the relevant portion.

"i can't make a clicky" bull shit. f'ing idiots are just too lazy to try. maybe it's just me, but if there were something on a forum that i couldn't do and everyone else could, i would be so ashamed to post anything i would probably leave and never post another thing._________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
