I guys!

Since this is the testing ground, and because I'm on a testing mood, I just thought we could also do the Longest Reply Thread test.

It's simple. The first one arriving just reply to this thread, quoting me. The next poster will quote the previous one. The next next will quote again, and so on.
Basically, the test consists in concatenating quotes. Like quoting the quote, of the quote, of the quote...

The objective is not to do a record (well, who knows? :P), but to really test how will it looks like after too many quotes of the quotes, and to see if the page layout breaks, etc etc.

Please guys, cooperate and DO NOT POST unless you quote the last poster.
Mods, if someone breaks the quoting chain, please do delete the post, so we do not have o start over.

Thank you and enjoy!

Ok, here's the first step. If I'm not mistaken, we're just supposed to quoted the previous post in its entirety, right? You know, I've got some private messages that go back a bunch of steps, but then they were not quotes so I guess that would be different. Anyway, here we go!

Hello!

Well this test isn't going to be possible afteral.
This forum script must have some kind of option set, or feature, that prevents from automatically users being quoting the quotes.

The idea was to keep doing as shown on this post, and see what happens. But because it can't be done automatically, it's very hard and tricky to be doing it by hand, like I just did. Doesn't worth it.

I thought it would work, because I remember once playing around with it in some forum and it worked, until a mod warned me to stop. Here it would be just perfect, since we are in the testing ground. Too bad it doesn't work.

Thank you anyway.

It works in private messages, but I guess not here. Oh well, nice try anyway.

It's a shame that TS was unable to make this project thread work but I think sepulchre is correct about the system. I am more than sure he's smart enough to devise another interesting thread to start. I do hope so...But I wanted to show my support for his attempt at trying something new in TNT. Hey Sepulchre good logic there lol. Good for you TS!~sunshine~

Yes, I also noticed that it works on PM's.
Thats why I think this is an option set, that can be configured on the Admin backend of the forum.
Probably, the setting is set forum-wide. If only it could be unset to a particular thread...

Thank you guys!

And this is the hard way....

Uh . . what he said.

(the easy way)

I always disliked it when someone quotes another person who has made a long post, and then the quoter makes a comment about one sentence out of it. Why didn't they just cut everything out except what they were commenting about?

Dave

Hi Dave, why aren't you in bed? You should be sleeping, huh? I am quite impressed that you were able to do the unbelievable but I think you are right in regards to why take up so much space re-quoting when you can just use the part of the message quote you need to answer the thought. Better yet, if you don't quote at all...then you will see how good your memory is, right? Like try to remember what it was that you are responding to. hehehe I hope you all are doing well. Dave...what a job though! Holy smokes!!! ~sunshine~
