A friendly request for TTGPers

When you're quoting someone, can you please shorten it to the relative part? It's distracting to read a thread where 90% of each reply are 4 - 6+ quotes. Delete the stuff that doesn't matter. It makes it much easier and more visually appealing to read.
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

I totally get what you're saying. But, with all the /quote boxes, I don't know how to edit it down to only leave the part of the thread that I am replying to. Does that make sense?
And, I think I've seen other posters make the same comment. Is there a way to look at the thread to see which parts to cut out? TIA!
Oh, look, I did it! Thanks Slappy!
Each [/*quote] matches to a [quote*user="screenname"] box. If you just want to quote a specific person, erase the other quote codes.
You can make up your own quote boxes once you learn how to work the code. :-D
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.
Yes, makes perfect sense.
When you want to cut out a bunch of quotes, figure out the one that you want. Before every quote it will read: [ (left bracket) quote user = "Excitedtostart" ]
I put some spaces in there so it will show up. Then the body of the message, then the end quote which is a [ (left bracket) / (back slash) quote and then a right bracket ].
When you have a bunch of quotes, the top line will read the users in order, so you'll have :
[ (left bracket) quote user = "Excitedtostart" ] [ (left bracket) quote user = "second user" ] [ (left bracket) quote user = "third user" ][ (left bracket) quote user = "forth user" ]
and at the end it will have:
[ (left bracket) / (back slash) quote and then a right bracket ].[ (left bracket) / (back slash) quote and then a right bracket ].[ (left bracket) / (back slash) quote and then a right bracket ].[ (left bracket) / (back slash) quote and then a right bracket ].
So you just need to see which quote you want, and delete the others in order. So if I wanted to quote third user from above, I would delete everything outside the [ and ] brackets, and then delete the corresponding [ ] from the bottom of the quote.
This got long and messy because if I type it regularly it won't show up, but hopefully you'll understand it.
And honestly, you can just delete the text. Anything helps.
I bunghole love you Balls. I love you.
Also, you explained it better.
Wow, ETS. I.....I never knew!
