Board Suggestion

I dunno if ya guys noticed.
But hitting the reply button always quotes the post you click it in. The only way to reply without getting a quote is use the quick reply. Though that doesnt give the advanced posting opition stuff.

Would it be possible to change that, and maybe make a seprate quote button?
Even one that appears IN the reply screen so that you can quote multiple posts at once without needing to continually manually edit?

Its a "tad" annoying to have to delete a quote when using the primary reply button.

Thanks.

It's easy to miss, but there is a "Post Reply" button under the last post in every thread at the bottom of the page. It's on the left-hand side, next to a "New Thread" button.

Hit the giant "Post Reply" button at the top or bottom of the screen. Voila! Empty reply box.

There's a "Wrap Quote Tags" button... is that what you mean?

How do you plan to include quotes from multiple posts without manually pasting them?
