I also like the way that quotes are tagged, with credit to the quoter above the quote area (see example below).
I dislike that example you've shown, because it makes the screen more cluttered and harder to read. One of the reasons I prefer this BBS system to others is its simplicitly and its cleaner screen layout.

I have no problem figuring out who's being quoted, I don't need the extra "In reply to HaK3rWar3zd00D" text cluttering up the message body text to tell me that.

Generally the person being quoted is going to be the one who is in the [Re:Drakino] section of the post header. Implementing the quote style you showed would need more then a quick hack, as I'd need to pull the person being replied to into code that dosen't normally see that variable, plus in most cases it's going to be redundant to the [Re:] block.

I'll see what can be done once 6.2 comes around here.

What's the deal with being nice Tom? I was having fun watching Bitt and Tony stomp on the newb.

Thanks for the polite response, Drakino.

I realize what the general preference is around here and I'm not trying to force things away from the norm or make more work for anyone. I just thought I'd offer a differing (outside?) opinion.

You're just jealous of my wit and intellect. And the fact that I live closer to your girlfriend.

Empegs can come and go pretty quickly.....I'm thinking you don't want to keep yours

Or maybe if you buy me 30 more of them, we'll just call it even on the empeg...

EDIT: ok...I can harrass my brother on my own time...sorry for hijacking the thread guys.

Ok, lets plan on that. Consider yourself repaid (and expect one per year...for the next 30 years ).

I'm too busy playing with my empeg to fight with my brother. He now has a wife to fight with, anyway.
