Removing double quotations request

[wolverineblues]

This is what I mean:



And also, when replying a post:


Is there any quick code I can remove from an specific page to achieve that? Thank you all in advance!

[wolverineblues]

Well, maybe I rushed a bit and didn't explain very well. What I want to remove is quotes embedded inside other quotes, as I feel this creates more visual noise rather than doing any help.

It becomes particularly annoying when a person quotes a long post only to reply a small paragraph, and other person replies to the person writing the small paragraphs, but there's another gigantic previous message inside it, if you know what I mean.

I am not even sure if this is possible, but given that "edit text" tag can be removed, and summary can be reversed, I think this is fully within the realm of possibilities.

Thanks again and forgive me for my impatience.

Thank you! However... is there any way to make it functional when you get to the "reply page"? When you quote a post (that had already quoted someone else) it still appears on the preview and BBcode.

Thus far the code has only been able to hide it in threads. Is there any way to fix that too? Sorry if this is the wrong board, I am very incompetent with coding stuff.

The code as it is could pose a serious problem when multiquoting posts (whereas the idea behind requesting all of this was making it far easier)

The problem you're running into is that the above CSS simply targets the quote-in-a-quote class, and sets it not to display. The content is still there. If you look at the mobile view, for example, which at the moment uses a separate stylesheet from the desktop view, you will find that all quotes are still nested as applicable (in the future, when v6 launches, mobile view and desktop view will share a stylesheet).

What you're asking for isn't going to work the way you want it because there is no separate quote class in the reply page, it's plain text until the text is submitted and rendered as a post.

Ok, so I take that there is no way to disable that function on "reply" pages? As in creating a command that avoids double quoting from the 'root' effectively avoiding registering text that is within 2 layers of quotes? So what I'm asking is not possible on this version?

If it is possible, it goes beyond a simple template modification. I'd try asking on the Plugin Request Board to see if it can be done. NOTE: Plugins are not available in the mobile version of the forum at the moment (will change in v6) so anyone on mobile will still get the default format. Also note that any javascript modifications can also be simply disabled by turning off javascript so it wouldn't be fool proof.

I would also recommend making a feature request in the main support board to see if the admins will consider adding this to v6 (:
