I've noticed a few posters getting all quote crazy again. Hope the mods don't mind me raising it, but there's no need to provide four levels of quotes for a reply - especially if they're long quotes. It makes for untidy reading, and looks awful on devices like mobiles with their small screens. I guess it's tempting as it saves time, and I may have been guilty on one or two occasions in the past, but can I put a polite request out there to limit the use of the quote button, especially when replying to the last message on a given topic.

Mea culpa, fair point Embarrassed

Agree if it's the previous post being quoted. However on mobile devices with small screens it's very difficult to edit down quoted material to only leave the point you are replying to.

Many thanks for your positive (and timely) suggestion, IndustryInsider. Wink

In the past, we did get to the stage of having some posts containing a whole screen's worth of quotes, with the ultimate reply being, 'Yes.' Roll Eyes

Making allowances for anyone using mobile devices to read and reply on the Coffee Shop forum these days, I'm rather less inclined to suffer apoplexy if anyone 'quotes' in their post. However, if we can all minimise the use of 'reply with quote' where possible, that will be brilliant. Grin

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
