Hi,
I'm not a fan of this new feature of quoting and re-quoting the OP's question or comments over and over and over again. It's annoying to scroll through, and is a waste of time and space on the screen.
Therefore, I'm all in favor of the new "import and edit" the quote. My preference to edit the quote, is to delete it altogether. But this is not 'taking.' Every. Single. Time: The program ignores the deletion, and posts the entire quote anyway.
Is this a glitch? Is there a fix for this?
Instead of pressing Reply directly under the message, use the black Reply button bottom right. The first includes the quote, the second doesn't, and posts your single comment to the whole thread.
I prefer to use Chronological view, so that I can see exactly who I'm replying to. I don't worry about repeating the message unless the original post is spam, very long, or is an image.
By the way, it isn't a new feature. It's been this way since I've been on the forum.
It's new to me, and I've been on HP for 8 years, now.
I'll try it the other way, though; thanks for that.
Lizzy, You recently changed your forums to chronological view because you were missing things in threaded view. That’s why you are seeing it that way now.
Many people miss things in threaded view, which is why we had that discussion some time ago. You saw that discussion and switched your view.
I’ve noticed, at times, people asking questions I already answered in various forums and it’s always because they were in threaded view and didn’t see my specific response to another individual becasue it’s stuck farther up.
Chronological view would have all posts displayed in the order they were entered, which makes it easier to follow an entire conversation without missing replies to individuals.

When replying to a forum post, we are given the opportunity to "import and edit the quote." If the comment to be quoted contains an image, only the text below the image will be imported, the image and any text above it is not captured.As long as you're looking at that code anyway, it...

I can't get the "import and edit quote" feature to work at all.

With some users using the threaded view and others using chrono some threads are becoming intelligible Ex)http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/34590#post769233You'll see in chrono view that one hubber responds in a conversational manner 3 posts in a row-in that view it makes no sense ..(As Misha points...

I've only just discovered that quoted sections do not show up in "Threaded" view. If someone posts a long list of questions, I'll often manually quote the different sections so I can reply to them individually. Relache just posted a quote which didn't show up and caused...

I would suggest dropping the “Threaded view” since it confuses people. I've noticed that those who use it tend to overlook important parts of a conversation in a thread. If only "Chronological View" were used, this would not only simplify things, but everyone involved would be in sync...

What a poster set to Chrono posts is not always what a reader set to Threaded sees. And vice-versa for all I know. In other words, I'll bet there have been lots of miscommunications where both sides end up being undeserving victims. To see a perfect example of this, click the forum link below and...
