Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 There are still members who are over quoting, please, to answer a post use # what ever post rather than quote, it fills the data base up with useless data. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveN 1,118 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 In case people don't read this thread would it be an idea for admin to mail them if they over quote (if you don't already do so)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Noticed we now have members quoting the previous post in every post & quoting quite long posts with 3 or 4 word replies? Is quoting the previous post & even photos now allowed on nottstalga? Do we now have extra data to burn? Does Bossman above have money to burn? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roger peatman 337 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Data storage is only charged once, so the same data can be quoted as many times as you like - it doesn't cost any more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 It still gets boring though ploughing through the same quotes, just for a four word answer. I can never understand the need to do it ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 When I qoute I snip out the bits that are not relevant to my response. Keeps the quote short and to the point so that everyone can see what I'm nattering on about. 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alan s 156 Posted March 28, 2019 Report Share Posted March 28, 2019 Dunno if it's exclusive to Macs but highlighting the bit you want to quote automatically gives the option to quote that bit. No snipping needed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
